CHYULU
HILLS Ol Donyo Wuas is
situated on the slopes of the Chyulu Hills, with exclusive
access to a quarter of a million acres of one of the few remaining
wilderness areas of East Africa. The open plains, rolling
Chyulu Hills and snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro invoke images
of Africa as it was in the earlier part of the last century;
wildlife and Maasai herdsman living as nature determined they
should in this unspoilt corner of Kenya. Ol Donyo Wuas in
Maasai means “The Spotted Hills”, and is the name
given by the Maasai to the Chyulu Range which runs between
Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks.
Accommodation
The
lodge consists of seven individual thatched cottages and a
beautiful centrally positioned mess/dining room. All the cottages
have en-suite bathrooms, solar lighting, and a veranda with
panoramic views of the plains and Mount Kilimanjaro. Three
of the cottages have an additional bedroom for guests travelling
with children.
The
Hide is the eighth cottage built on stilts about 100m from
the main lodge overlooking a waterhole where the wildlife
comes in to drink. Ideal for honeymooners or guests who want
total privacy.
