This was our 3rd stay at Ol Tukai Lodge and it never fails to impress. The rooms, gardens, food and the staff are superb. The views from the bunglows are amazing with herds of elephants and other wildlife just a few metres away, fantastic. There is a lovely pool to relax by whilst waiting for your next safari on the...

Gorgeous place - the lobby is amazing and the rooms were very well decorated and immaculate! A few steps from our room were elephants, gazelles, wildebeests, buffalo and big herds of zebras grazing. We could lay in bed and it was like being on a game drive. Meals were buffet with some special items to order in addition. They also... More

I stayed for two nights and enjoyed the great staff, amazing views, Maasai dancers, good food, and comfortable beds. I've stayed on both sides (Mountain side and elephant... More

The views from this lodge are amazing! Imagine walking out of your door and practically tripping over Mount Kilimanjaro! You really cannot believe how breathtaking it is! We had lunch watching elephants. The meals were excellent and the staff was amazing! Every bit a top hotel! Great job!

Everything here is 1st class: rooms, service, views, meals, etc. We stayed for one night in mid-March and it was very quiet, not empty, but definitely low season. I wish I had stayed here longer...perhaps 3 or 4 days. No electricity (lights and fan) during the day but the rooms are designed with this in mind so they have plenty... More

We celebrated our Easter this year at Ol Tukai, and it turned out a good choice. The lodge is quite large, but still maintains a very good standard, especially in terms of the rooms. They are very spacious and modern with a very good shower and general facilities. The rooms face Mount Kilimanjaro and you can get an amazing view... More

I stayed here recently and loved the entire experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the room was lovely and the views from every place I walked was incredible. I watched the sun rise next to Kilimanjaro, while an elephant lumbered on the savannah. Every moment was gorgeous!

No electricity between 01:00 am and 05:00 am, no internet, no mobile network coverage. I am not sure if this applies to other lodges and camps in Amboseli but it seems so. When I went to sleep I noticed a lizard on the mosquito net of my bed. Food was no more than edible. Staff were so noisy... they keep... More
