Ol Donyo Wuas
Ol Donyo Wuas is a private lodge on the slopes of the Chyulu Hills in Kenya. It is set in a 300,000 acre Masai community ranch and overlooks the plains to snow-capped Kilimanjaro beyond.
The lodge sleeps 22 people in beautiful stone built rooms. Each has en-suite facilities, an open fireplace and a stunning view over the bush to the Chyulu Plains. Some of the rooms have a private plunge pool and a "sleep out" deck on the roof. There is a large sitting and dining area and library in the main lodge building. There is a stunning infinity pool overlooking a waterhole, so you can relax with a drink in your hand and view game straight from the pool. The Kenyan staff are most attentive and will ensure that you are treated as an individual. You can be as active or lazy as you wish here, dictating your own pace.
A wide variety of wildlife can be found in this area but due to the low number of tourists, the game is more shy than other areas. You need to work a little harder than you would in the Masai Mara, but you might be able to see gerenuk, hyena, bat ear foxes, lion, huge elephant, jackal, wild dog and large numbers of zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and other antelope. The combination of plains and hills around Ol Donyo Wuas is stunning, and there are good opportunities to walk and go on game drives or horse riding. Another great option for the more adventurous is to sleep out under the stars which can be organised from the lodge.
