Awaken
to Kilimanjaro
Nestled between Tsavo and Amboseli National Park, Ol Donyo Lodge lies in the heart of the Chyulu Hills. Explore 275,000 acres of untamed African wilderness on the Mbirikani Group Ranch, bordering Chyulu Hills National Park. They built the lodge itself from volcanic tuff, a relic of Kilimanjaro’s eruption 360,000 years ago. Each room offers a private portal into the soul of East Africa, with views overlooking a small, stone-terraced pool that glows at night, rolling valleys, and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. And for a immersive experience, all seven suites feature a “star bed” – a canopied outdoor bed on your chalet’s private rooftop, where you can drift off to sleep under a blanket of stars, serenaded by the sounds of hyenas and lions on the prowl, elephants rumbling in the distance, and the chorus of nocturnal birds.
Ol Donyo Lodge: your own private retreat, a serene meditation with a front-row seat to a majestic volcano and an endless, star-studded African sky.

Imagine waking up to the chorus of birdsong, stepping out onto your terrace, and being greeted by an awe-inspiring panorama: the sun-drenched savannah, overlooked by the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, shrouded in a light, ethereal mist. This is the view that awaits you from any of the thirteen cottages at Tawi Lodge, nestled within the private Tawi Conservancy and just a stone’s throw from Amboseli National Park.
