Rooms
There are 80 luxury chalet-style twin rooms at Ol Tukai Lodge, all with an uninterrupted
view of the wetlands or Kilimanjaro.
Stylish and comfortable, the rooms are built from gum trees, local river stone and slate.
All rooms have private bathrooms and individual terraces.
To accommodate physically challenged guests, two rooms have been designed
according to EU standards.
For the executive traveller, the exclusive Kibo Villa is also available,
a self-contained log cabin with three luxurious ensuite rooms, roof terrace and Jacuzzi.
Restaurants/Bars
The dining room features an intricately designed sisal tapestry by
a local artist, depicting the Maasai people. Just meters from elephants and other game
that venture close to the boundary, the dining room opens onto a veranda in the garden
where lunch is usually served.
The pool bar serves snacks and drinks between meal times.
Our pool waiters are pleased to assist you, and our barman can make you a special
fruitpunch while you soak up the sun.
The Elephant Bar is situated between the lounge and dining room.
This open-air bar serves a wide selection of beers, cocktails, liqueurs and fresh fruit juices,
and above the bar a roof level deck offers a splendid panorama of the marshlands
and Kilimanjaro.

by the pool on a sun-bed in the shade of the acacias.
Board games
