Ol Donyo Lodge

Ol Donyo Lodge is one of the most impressive in all of Kenya and has Relais & Chateaux accreditation — sharing this honour only with its sister camp Mara Plains. There are just eight suites in seven stand-alone villas that are all individually designed and positioned to offer dramatic views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the vast plains that stretch out before the lodge.

All suites have been created with style and luxury in mind and include an en-suite bathroom, lounge, private star beds on a walled roof accessed by a private winding staircase and a superb glass frontage leading out onto a private veranda. All of the suites have their own private plunge pool, while two make up a larger unit ideal for families or couples travelling together.

There is a wide range of activities on offer at Ol Donyo Lodge with the excellent guides taking guests on safari by open 4x4 vehicle by day and at night, on foot with armed trackers learning about the smaller flora and fauna or even on horseback riding amongst herds of giraffe and zebra oblivious to your presence. Time can also be spent mountain biking on the open plains, sleeping out on the kopjes at 'Seduction Rock', enjoying bush breakfasts at sunrise or dinners under the stars and there is even the opportunity to take in the culture of the area and visit an authentic Maasai village.
