Between Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks lies 110 000 hectares of private land known as the Mbirikani Group Ranch. In the midst of the Chyulu Hills with vistas to Mount Kilimanjaro, this enormous wildlife area is home to Ol Donyo Lodge whose curved walls and natural materials belie sophisticated design and sleek service.

One among many fantastic features is that every room has a private plunge pool and a personal starbed – simply walk upstairs to your rooftop eyrie for a night under the Milky Way. The lodge’s waterhole provides photographers and animal lovers with endless entertainment thanks to passing elephant, giraffe, buffalo and more… That’s before you head out on game drives, night drives and nature walks with expert guides.
