Ol Tukai Lodge is situated in Amboseli National Park, 229 km (142 mi) south of Nairobi.

The location of the lodge affords spectacular views of Africa’s Highest Mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, it’s snow-capped peak rising to 5,895 m (19,341 ft) just over the border in Tanzania.

The mountain is in clear view on most days and, with thoughtful use of the camera, will form an enigmatic backdrop to your wildlife photographs.

Ol Tukai Lodge has been carefully constructed and managed with protection of the environment and sustainability as a priority consideration. The buildings are built mainly of timber and local stone amid mature acacia trees.

There are 80 well-appointed rooms with fridge, tea and coffee making facilities. The rooms look out across the open plain and most have good views of the mountain.

There is also a three-bedroom house superbly fitted out which is offered as an option for very special occasions such as honeymoons. This exclusive accommodation boasts a huge lounge, open fireplace, well-equipped kitchen, three en-suite bedrooms, a jacuzzi, a large veranda and an elevated balcony.

For couples wishing to have a safari wedding, marriage ceremonies can be conducted in the multi-denominational chapel and there are ample facilities for wedding breakfasts and reception celebrations.

The Amboseli Elephant Research Project is a close neighbour of Ol Tukai Lodge and members of the project staff regularly visit the lodge to give fascinating talks about the work they carry out and the challenges currently facing all the wildlife of the area.

Lunchtime meals are served on the veranda overlooking the plain where elephant herds frequently amble by and many other animals can be observed as they carry out their daily activities.

The Elephant Bar has a character all its own and is the perfect place to relax in the evening. Above the bar is an observation deck from where you have wide panoramic views across the savannah.
