About Tawi Lodge

Luxury lodge in the true sense of the word
Located in a private conservancy, a five-minute drive from the eastern entrance of the Amboseli National Park, Tawi Lodge is the epitome of a luxury safari lodge. It also prides itself on its eco-friendly credentials and gold rating. Electricity comes from the sun, water from a bore hole, and great care is taken to respect the fragile ecosystem and the local people. The star of the show is undoubtedly the magnificent Kilimanjaro looming in the background and the close proximity of the waterhole ensures guests are treated to some first-class wildlife encounters.

Property details

The property

The double-storey lodge has four lounge areas, two bars (one of which is a bush bar built around a tortilis tree) and a library on the mezzanine level. Food is served either in the tree-canopied dining room or in the boma. (You can also request to have yours served in your chalet.) There is a small spa, a heated pool and comfy recliners under the trees at the edge of the lawn - all with good views of the waterhole.

The rooms

There are 13 spacious traditional Makuti-roofed chalets (more like mini-lodges), designed and spaced to provide maximum privacy. En-suite bathrooms have a bath and shower, the four-poster beds are like a small piece of heaven, and the wooden veranda offers the perfect spot to lounge about and marvel at the stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro. All units have a fireplace for cold winter nights. Some have a better view of the nearby waterhole and the animals that flock to it.

Activities

Morning and evening game drives are guided by local Masaai, meaning guests are privy to their first-hand knowledge of the plants and animals. Expect to see loads of elephants, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes and zebras, as well as interesting birdlife. The more energetic can go mountain climbing and those keen for a more sedentary approach can take in their surroundings from a helicopter. End a busy day with a sleep-inducing massage in the spa or take a dip in the bio-pool.
