Tawi Lodge
Set plum in the heart of its own private conservancy and in one of the richest game areas in Kenya, Tawi Lodge is an idyllic retreat for exploring the Amboseli ecosystem on the lower foothills of Kilimanjaro. This eco award-winning lodge combines unpretentious comfort with subtle accents of style, coupled with traditional East African hospitality and a sense of warmth and genuine welcome.
Setting
The lodge and cottages sprawl along the edge of dry acacia woodland, with Mount Kilimanjaro standing proudly above. Elephants often pass close by, gently allowing close absorption into their secret lives from the comfort of the cottage decks.
Cottages
Each of the โelegantly rusticโ cottages combines comfort with a connection to the surrounding acacia woodland and its resident wildlife.
