The captivating ol Donyo Lodge is tucked away in the cool shadow of the Chyulu Hills neighbouring Amboseli, one of Kenya’s most prized safari destinations. The lodge boasts spacious guest suites, no two of which are the same. Each features their own exclusive plunge pool, as well as a rooftop terrace where an elegant star bed can be set up to sleep beneath the glittering night sky.
Guests can dine on tantalising meals, accompanied by an extensive wine list, and served in the elegant dining area. After a rewarding morning of wildlife viewing, guests can choose to cool off in the inviting infinity pool or indulge in a relaxing massage. Flexibility is key at ol Donyo and guests are encouraged to curate their own time, well suited to their interests, while on safari. Activities include game drives (and night drives), guided bush walks, exhilarating horseback safaris (for intermediate to experienced riders), Maasai village visits, day trips to the Amboseli National Park (at an extra cost) and mountain biking. ol Donyo’s famous underground hide is a true highlight, allowing guests to witness super tusker elephants drinking at a nearby waterhole, amongst many other bird and wildlife interactions, with Mt Kilimanjaro as the backdrop.
What we love about ol Donyo Lodge
- Be adventurous and ask your hosts to set up a bed on the rooftop, under the sparkling night sky.
- Sip on your favourite sundowner and watch as the resident elephants quench their thirst at a nearby waterhole — don’t forget to bring the camera provided for your use during your stay, as the sight of the sun setting behind the majestic peak of Mt Kilimanjaro is truly awe-inspiring!
- Share a romantic dinner on the rooftop of your suite, beneath a canopy of twinkling stars.
