“The Best resort @ Amboseli”

We stayed for 2 nights, in June 2024, at Ol Tu kai Lodge. The hospitality, the cleanliness, the view, the passion of every employee of the lodge & the food were awesome. We spent some of our best family moments, at this lodge. Thanks to Ol Tukai, keep up your good work! We'll be back soon 👍🏼

“Pool with a view of wildlife and a mountain smiling”

The lodging was exceptional with a view of the mountain smiling and wildlife in front of it regularly. Monkeys, baboons, and lizards all come to visit regularly on the grounds. The pool was a great way to relax. Only comment would be if you have dietary restrictions the buffet structure could ... more

“VIEW”

It's all about the view. This is the lodge to stay at if you want to see Kilimanjaro from your porch. Most places you walk on the grounds the mountain is just... there! Rooms were clean and pleasant. Shower had good flow and pressure (if you have been to Africa you understand). Meals are a ... more

“Stay here if you visit Amboseli”

The staff was wonderful. The service was always top notch. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Every place we stayed on our trip was this way. I haven't travelled anywhere in the world where I felt as welcome by the staff as I have in Kenya and Tanzania. The rooms are a little dated, but e... more

“Captive Audience = Complacency”

I got the distinct impression that in Amboseli, there aren't many places to stay so Ol Tukai doesn't try as hard as most of the other places we stayed at on our safari. The room wasn't as clean, and the quality of the food wasn't as good. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad and if I hadn't stayed anywhere else, I would have just chalked it up to being in the bush in East Africa. But after staying places like Sarova Lion Hill, Oldeani Mountain Lodge and even Embalaki which was a lot more "primitive" feel, Ol Tukai didn't compete with any of them. Our room was ok. The biggest issue is that with no A/C, it can get warm in the afternoons. That's true with a lot of places but most have a ceiling fan. Ol Tukai did too. But it was mounted so high on the vaulted ceiling that, even on "high", we could barely feel it moving any air. And it wasn't over the beds. But fortunately, when we were there, it cooled down at night, so we weren't uncomfortable sleeping. The food was ok. Lots of it with a good variety and again, if this was the only place we'd gone, I'd probably have thought nothing of it. But we had such good quality and selections at other places, Ol Tukai's chef(s) need to step up their game in the kitchen. But I also should note that the waitress we had at the table reserved for our group while we stayed there was wonderful as were all of the staff we dealt with. There is an electric fence around the property. But monkeys still get on the grounds so it's very important to keep the door to your hut closed and they warn you to not carry food on the way to or from your room because the monkeys will take it. But apparently, it's not just food but anything that the monkeys think might be food. My wife had bought a sealed bag of coffee and had it in a paper bag and was walking back to our room and a monkey thought it looked enough like a potential meal that it jumped her and tried to get the coffee. She valiantly defended her purchase, but the monkey had bitten through the paper bag and the coffee. She went back to the gift shop to get it replaced and the lady was very nice and offered to tape over the teeth holes in the coffee! LOL! My wife told her that she wasn't comfortable with that since the monkey had actually broken the bag with its teeth. The lady said she didn't have the authority to replace it, but she called someone and got approval to do so. Our joke was that we bet that bag of coffee got taped and put back on the shelf for some other unsuspecting tourist. After that, we checked every food item we bought to ensure that it was sealed, and the packaging hadn't been compromised and/or repaired. The other thing to know about it that since Ol Tukai is in a marshland environment, there are bug. It's not bad most of the time but at the lodge, when trying to have a drink at the bar it was terrible. The bar area and tables are open air. And apparently the crickets and water bugs are attracted to the light, so we were getting hit by the bugs, they were getting down people's shirts and, in their hair, and people were jumping and screaming to the point that we just gave up. They really should have some roll down screens for that area in the evenings if they expect people to congregate there. Again, just indicative of the complacent attitude of the management there. We didn't pick Ol Tukai. It was selected by the tour company we used. So, I don't know if there are other options in the area. But if you are doing your own planning, I recommend evaluating what other options are in the area before booking here.
