Lodge

Where you'll sleep on safari

We choose the lodge with you, based on budget and availability. These are some of the ones we use most often.

Tsavo East

A modern lodge overlooking a waterhole that attracts elephants, birds and other animals. Spacious African-style rooms, buffet and spa.

Good value: a two-storey wood-and-thatch lodge in a private sanctuary on the park's edge, facing a waterhole.

The lodge on stilts: raised rooms linked by walkways above the waterhole where elephants come to drink.

A spectacular position on the Ngulia escarpment, close to the rhino sanctuary. At night leopards visit the floodlit waterhole below the restaurant.

A simple, atmospheric camp in a riverside clearing with hippos, monkeys and antelope. Candlelit dinner on the lawn.

The most elegant of Amboseli's big lodges, in forest at the edge of the swamps, with a shaded pool.

A tented camp overlooking the plains at the foot of Kilimanjaro, handy for the park and guided walks.

Tents and chalets on the Talek River, a pool and Maasai dancing in the evening. A base for hot-air balloon flights.

A large Maasai-style lodge with round thatched rooms, pool and gardens.

In the park's south-east, once part of Lord Delamere's estate: garden cottages with lake views and a pool.

Cottages on a hill overlooking the lake, pool and sauna. Traditional dancing in the evening.
