In Kilimanjaro’s
shadow
Imagine waking to the chorus of birdsong, stepping onto your terrace, and being greeted by an unparalleled vista: a sun-drenched savannah crowned by the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, veiled in a delicate haze. This is the view that awaits you from every cottage at TAWI Lodge, nestled within the private TAWI Conservancy and just a stone’s throw from Amboseli National Park.
Each of the thirteen cottages blends modern amenities for your comfort with authentic local touches, ensuring you never forget you’re in Africa, while feeling at home.
TAWI serves as the perfect launchpad for helicopter safaris, offering breathtaking aerial views of Amboseli’s plains and Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s a haven for birdwatchers and elephant enthusiasts alike, as they all converge on the Tawi waterhole, which appears as a mere pond within the lodge’s grounds.
A leisurely camel trek provides a unique perspective on the surrounding landscape. The stunning scenery, relaxed pace, and journey into the sunset, complete with a stop for dinner or a sundowner in the savannah, against the backdrop of Africa’s tallest mountain, create an unforgettable experience.
A cup of coffee overlooking Kilimanjaro – that’s the kind of magic that stays with you forever.
It’s better to see it once,

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.
Nestled between Tsavo and Amboseli National Park, Ol Donyo Lodge sits in the heart of the Chyulu Hills. Explore 275,000 acres of untamed Africa on the Mbirikani Group Ranch, bordering Chyulu Hills National Park. The lodge itself is built from volcanic tuff, formed by Kilimanjaro’s eruptions 360,000 years ago. Each room offers a window into East Africa’s soul, with views of a private stone-terraced plunge pool illuminated at night, rolling valleys, and Mount Kilimanjaro. And in all seven suites, you have the option to sleep beneath a canopy of stars on a secluded “star bed” atop your chalet’s roof, listening to the sounds of hyenas and lions on the prowl, elephants rumbling, and the symphony of birdsong.
