Tawi Lodge TAWI, KENYA
Amboseli National Park, though covering just 150sq miles in Kenya, plays a vital role in the wider 3,127sq ft ecosystem that stretches across the border into Tanzania. Amboseli’s permanent wetlands, set within an otherwise arid landscape, make it one of Africa’s most exceptional wildlife destinations. The park’s biodiversity is extraordinary. More
than 600 bird species can be found here: pelicans glide across the marshes, kingfishers dart above the water, crakes skulk through reeds and no fewer than 47 species of raptors patrol the skies. Large mammals thrive, too: buffalo graze in herds, hyenas roam the plains, giraffes browse on acacia trees and zebra, gazelle and wildebeest cross the grasslands. Lions and cheetahs still rule as apex predators. Yet, it’s the majestic elephant herds that truly define Amboseli. Often seen in their hundreds, they’re a breathtaking spectacle. Just five minutes from the park’s Kimana Gate,
Tawi Lodge sits on a 3,000-acre private conservancy. This award-winning eco-lodge overlooks a busy waterhole, with the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro forming an unforgettable backdrop.
Wildlife, particularly elephants, frequently visit the waterhole both day and night. Accommodation includes 12 en suite cottages,
a family unit and a luxury suite, all facing Kilimanjaro, and each with a private wooden deck ideal for wildlife-watching and mountain views. Guests can enjoy a mix of comfort and adventure.
Game drives explore both the national park and conservancy led by expert guides. Night drives reveal elusive nocturnal species, while walking safaris allow for a closer connection to the land. Camel rides offer a novel way to approach wildlife quietly and unobtrusively. Cultural encounters include visits to local Maasai
villages and the community school, offering insight into traditional life. Bush breakfasts and dinners add a memorable culinary twist, while sundowners are a safari ritual: camp chairs, a fire, chilled drinks and the silhouette of Kilimanjaro at sunset. After dinner, guests can unwind by the campfire
or at the unique ‘mobile’ bush bar, soaking in the sounds of the African night under a starlit sky, a fitting end to each unforgettable day.
