Ol Donyo Lodge

Offering a superbly comfortable and stylish safari experience, Ol Donyo Lodge also is one of few places where you will find private villa accommodation. The six stand-alone villas with ten spacious guest suites between them are all individually designed with luxurious and opulent decor. Choose from one-bedroomed and two-bedroomed suites if you are travelling as a group or family.

Spread out in the suites with their own lounges, private verandas and a rooftop ‘star bed’ accessible from the veranda. You can choose to shower in- or outdoors and all of the en-suite bathrooms have flush toilets and baths. All but two of the suites have their own private pools however there is also a main communal pool overlooking the waterhole.  Rest assured when booking in here that your children will enjoy the experience as much as you will when they discover that they will have their own special safari itinerary.

You will immediately feel relaxed in this luxury safari destination with its spacious living and dining area set high on a hillside looking onto majestic Kilimanjaro. The natural building materials used such as stone, thatch and wood blend into the environment and the decor plus features such as magnificent iron-ore chandeliers, arched doorways and grand fireplaces add to the sense of luxurious space and freedom. You can also book for an in-room massage at this luxury safari destination.

Relax in the communal areas or around the infinity pool where you can still game-watch over the famous waterhole. Meals are served on the veranda and at night enjoy candlelit dinners in the main dining room, make sure that you experience a breakfast out on the plains or a classic English tea served up in the African bush. Arrange for a private chef if you want to dine in and order something really special. 

This really is the place offering the most diverse range of activity options in Kenya. Game drives and bush walks are par for the course in this game-rich area but there are many other options to explore the region. Discover the land by horseback (experienced and novice riders are welcome), or choose to go mountain biking on the open plains.

A highlight to a stay at this luxury venue is some personal interaction with the habituated elephants as well as a range of romantic and exciting safari options. Sleep outdoors on the rooftop ‘star beds’, book for a bush breakfast or dinner under the stars, sign up for night drives or go tracking with bloodhounds!
