Ol Donyo Lodge
Ol Donyo is a timeless favourite, offering ten private cottages and a range of facilities. The lodge is spread across woodland and thicket in the Chyulu Hills, offering views across the vast Kenyan plains and a distant outline of Mount Kilimanjaro. The main area of the lodge comprises the lounge and dining areas, both displaying an open-plan layout designed to merge outdoor and indoor living. The lodge has a lovely swimming pool for guests to use and relax by during the heat of the day.
Cottages
The ten private cottages are each uniquely built and designed. They all have a roof terrace, which can be set up with cosy beds for guests to enjoy a night under the African night sky.
Location Note
While categorised within the Tsavo destination grouping in our system, Ol Donyo Lodge is located in the Chyulu Hills, a malaria-free highland area between Amboseli and Tsavo, renowned for elephant herds and star-bed experiences.

Ol Donyo Lodgeโs ten uniquely designed cottages, each with a roof terrace that can be set up for sleeping under the stars, give it one of the most distinctive accommodation formats in the wider Amboseli-Tsavo region. Although filed under the Tsavo destination category, its true location in the Chyulu Hills places it in a malaria-free highland area renowned for elephant herds and sweeping views toward Kilimanjaro.โ The SafariBando team
