What to Expect
ol Donyo Lodge is located on the Maasai-owned Mbirikani Group Ranch, a vast expanse of wilderness between Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks, bordering Chyulu Hills National Park.
The thatched communal area is vast, with a comfortable lounge area hung with beautiful photos of wildlife and views of the real creatures in front. There’s a well-stocked bar, a library with reference books that’ll help you identify the many, many antelope and other species. Sundowners (don’t miss the macadamia chicken canapés) and meals are served on the large veranda or outdoors. There’s a large infinity pool for hot days and a gift shop with beautiful Masai beaded work.
Highlights
Eight deluxe pool suites plus one two-bedroom family suite offer a harmonious blend of contemporary and rustic accommodation, merging the landscape into each suite. Designed for broad appeal, the lodge is a perfect getaway for families, honeymooners or multi-generational groups. What makes it a standout is its considerable variety of activities – from cultural visits, good quality wildlife viewing, hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking – ol Donyo Lodge is a perfect place to feel Africa.
Take a game drive, go horse- or bike riding, visit the fascinating lava tubes, set off on a walking safari, sleep under the stars and have breakfast and dinner in the bush. Watch the animals from an open-air hide or book a fly-camping adventure. Great Plains works with the local community to protect endangered species and reduce poaching. The lodge may be expensive, but it’s good to know that a percentage of each visitor’s conservancy fee goes to the community.
