The best of Kenya's safari lodges

Travel and Leisure magazine published world's best 100 hotels, and as usual Kenya’s lodges have features prominently on the list. Among the top 100 on the list are Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, Fairmont Mara Safari Club and Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp.


At number 4 is Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge. Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge is a safari lodge situated Chyulu Hill in Kenya, half way between Tsavo National Park and Amboseli National park.

The safari lodge is situated in Masai communal land and is therefore less restricted than the national parks. For instance you can have night game drives and horseback riding safaris.
