Cottage style accommodation spreads out on either side of the main lodge. The architecture is unobtrusive with lots of wood, local stone and slate. Each room has an uninterrupted view of either the wetlands or Mt. Kilimanjaro, with the occasional dust trail of safari vehicles viewing game in this most beautiful of Kenya's game parks. The crystal clear figure of eight swimming pool, shaded by the occasional acacia tree, has ample sunbeds and mattresses available for guest use. Guests are not permitted to swim at night.
Facilities The early morning game drive sees the 5,895 metre mountain revealed. Late afternoon game drives offer a profusion of game and birdlife suppported by Amboseli National Park. Enjoy the short birdwalk that starts at the entrance of the hotel and rambles under the canopy of acacia trees around the lodge. On alternate evenings a troupe of Maasai morans entertain guests with traditional songs and dances. |

Ol Tukai Lodge was opened in June 1996 and lies at the heart of Amboseli National Park approximately 266kms due south of Nairobi. The lodge is set at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and is probably the best wildlife arenas to view elephants at close range. Most of the park consists of a partially dry, lake bed of evaporated salts and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland. Around the swamps the vegetation is lush with yellow barked acacia and phoenix palms. You can see most types of game in the park including rhino, maasai giraffe, gazelle, lion, cheetah and leopards. Birdlife is prolific too, especially around the swamp areas.
