Ol Tukai Lodge is one of Amboseli’s most iconic properties, situated in a beautiful grove of acacia tortilis trees right in the heart of the national park. The lodge’s privileged location offers some of the best views of Mount Kilimanjaro available anywhere, with elephants frequently strolling past just metres from the viewing areas.
The 80 chalet-style rooms are comfortable and spacious, built from local stone and timber with thatched roofs. Each room has a private veranda overlooking the park, perfect for early-morning Kilimanjaro views before the clouds roll in.
The lodge’s observation lounge and extensive gardens are favourite spots for watching wildlife — hippos in the nearby swamp, elephants at the waterhole, and a dazzling array of birdlife. Game drives offer reliable sightings of elephant herds, big cats, and Kilimanjaro backdrops.
