Ol Tukai Lodge, opened in June 1996, lies hidden in a forest of fever trees and palms at the heart of the Amboseli National Park about 270 km south of Nairobi. Located at the foot of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is one of the best places in Africa for viewing elephants as well as cheetah, gazelle, giraffe, leopard and lion. Bird life is prolific, too.

The lodge has 80 luxury twin rooms in cottage style, single-storey blocks made of wood, local stone and slate. Each room has fine views of either the wet-lands or Kilimanjaro. There are two double rooms for disabled guests and wheel chair ramps are provided. For ultimate luxury, there is a three bed roomed house with verandas and a spacious living room.

Activities include early morning and late afternoon game drives; bird walks and rambles; and Maasai entertainment every other evening. The lodge has a dining room and two bars as well as conference facilities and a splendid figure-of-eight outdoor swimming pool.
