Ol Donyo Lodge

Ol Donyo Lodge | Chyulu Hills

Ol Donyo Lodge is set on a prime location on the private Mbirikani Group Ranch of 275,000 acres of land owned by 4,000 Masai. Ol Donyo Lodge is a superb mix of local heritage and contemporary design and offers exquisite views of Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow capped peaks and the surrounding open plains, a ‘window to the soul of Eastern Africa’. There are six luxury suites and one family unit, which all have private plunge pools and an open rooftop space - allowing you to sleep under a canopy of stars and listen to rumbling elephants passing by!
 
When you stay at Ol Donyo, your dollars are contributing towards a collaborative wildlife conservation model, and as a result, there is great hope for the cheetahs of the area and some of the Chyulus iconic bull elephants - who are some of Africa’s last remaining, ‘largest tuskers’.
