Ol Donyo Wuas lies in the foothills of the Chyulu Range, halfway between Tsavo and Amboseli in a concession area of
300,000 acres, communal Maasai owned land, which is also part of the
Amboseli eco-system. The open plains, rolling Chyulu Hills and snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro invoke images of Africa as it was in the earlier part of the last century; abundant game and Maasai herdsmen living as nature determined they should in this unspoilt corner of Kenya.
Built in 1986 as Richard Bonham's private home, the lodge consists of seven individual cottages and a beautiful, centrally positioned mess/dining room. All cottages have en-suite bathrooms, electric lighting, an open fireplace and a veranda with panoramic views of the plains and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Chris and Tamsin are your hosts and a friendly crew of Kenyans are there to organise the daily activities, to ensure everything runs smoothly, and to provide high standards of cuisine and personal service.
