Ol Tukai Lodge Amboseli

The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Guests praise spacious, clean rooms and central location in Amboseli National Park with stunning views. Some mention the coziness and beauty of the lodges.

We did a drive safari after attending a family event in Nairobi. I stayed at this lodge many years ago with a good friend and found it wonderful. This time I was with my wife who uses a wheelchair and walker. Since my last visit 14 years ago, there are now ramps that allow access to everything. In addition, there are a number of wheelchair access rooms. Our room was everything we (she) needed. The overall lodge is beautiful and very well maintained. There are 3 meals a da plus high tea. The food was not as good as I remember from the earlier trip, but it was still pretty good. The bar prices were reasonable and there is a good selection. The big attraction is that you can sit on the porch of your room or in the dining area and watch elephants, zebra, wildebeest, etc. just on the other side of the fence, 20 metres away. All with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. Overall, the experience was magical.

We went there in July 2024 and we had unit #13. This place is in a great location. Check-in was quick and the staff is very friendly. There is a beautiful swimming pool on the grounds. It is large and well maintained but the water is a bit cold. It is really nice to relax by the pool while admiring the many animals that pass right in front. You can see zebras, wildebeest, elephants, several birds, etc. It is really a beautiful place to admire the wildlife. Our room was a bit far from the main building but it was still very pleasant to go there because all along the way you could see monkeys and baboons. The room itself was very good. It was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the water pressure was good. The wifi also worked very well. The only slightly special feature is the large window in the shower that does not have a curtain. There is a small fenced section behind the room that prevents you from looking directly into the bathroom, but this small enclosure is not locked so someone could enter and see into the bathroom. The restaurant is great. There is a large selection and the food is excellent. We even had a BBQ dinner that we really enjoyed. The bar is good, especially if you go to the second floor which offers a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro if the weather is clear. There is also a gift shop on site that offers very beautiful items but unfortunately the prices are a little too excessive. In short, it is probably one of the most beautiful lodges we have had during our safaris and we would recommend it without hesitation.
