Ol Tukai Lodge

Location: Amboseli

Ol Tukai Lodge is a truly magical establishment, situated on the edge of a lush acacia forest with the vast, endless plains of Amboseli extending out on the other side.

Ol Tukai offers 80 chalet-style rooms, either twin or double.  The furniture is of the highest quality, with large and comfortable beds, coffee table and chairs and luxuriously appointed bathrooms. Décor is comfortable and elegant with bursts of bright colour offering a contemporary African twist.  The delightful patio seating on the private veranda is a cozy place to enjoy a drink, stargaze or even spot a herd of free-ranging elephants wandering in the distance.

For the executive traveller, or perhaps a larger group or family travelling together, the Kibo Villa is a three-bedroom log cabin offering the ultimate in privacy and serenity.  Kibo is built from stone and gum tree, blending harmoniously with its beautiful surroundings of tall trees and lush lawns.  All bedrooms are en suite, with the master bedroom even opening onto a rooftop terrace with outdoor Jacuzzi.  From here, the views of Amboseli and Kilimanjaro are utterly stunning.  With a lounge, dining room and kitchen, guests can self cater if they wish, or be catered.  Guests are welcome to use all lodge facilities.

The communal areas at Ol Tukai continue the eclectic African theme.  Intriguing artefacts, unusual pieces of furniture and a daring mix of neutral wood and bold prints make the entrance lounge a fabulous place to enjoy a cold beer or an afternoon coffee.  

The large dining room features an intricate sisal tapestry depicting Masai people, which was carefully crafted by a local artist.  This room opens into a large outdoor veranda, where lunch is usually taken.  
The Elephant Bar, situated between the lounge and dining room, offers a wide selection of wines, beers, spirits, soft drinks and juices, all under the bright African sky.  Above the bar itself, the roof level deck offers panoramic views of the lush marshlands and the glorious Mount Kilimanjaro.

The large outdoor swimming pool is the ultimate place to cool off, perhaps after a morning game drive, and the Pool Bar is the perfect place to grab a cool drink or a snack between meals.  

Activities at Ol Tukai include game drives, bird walks and swimming in the pool.  Guests can also enjoy Masai singing and dancing, and regular lectures from Elephant Research experts.  

Children are welcome at Ol Tukai, with most rooms being big enough to accommodate an extra bed.  Children can choose a dish from the children's menu and take an early supper if desired, and security guards are always on patrol so parents can enjoy a later dinner without worrying.  

Other miscellaneous services include conference facilities, multi-denominational chapel, curio shop, telephone and fax services, medical clinic and bureau de change.
