Further Information
Ol Donyo Wuas is an absolutely wonderful lodge situated in the magnificent
and completely unspoilt surroundings of the stunning Chyulu Hills. Far from
the beaten track, this is a fabulously remote and private spot and guests can
enjoy this sensational region without seeing any other game-viewing vehicles.
Ol Donyo Wuas is owned by Richard and Tara Bonham, who work closely
with the local Maasai community running the lodge to an extremely high standard.
The lodge consists of seven wooden ensuite cottages built from local materials
and situated in the bush at the foothills of the Chyulu Range, each overlooking
Kilimanjaro and the rolling plains in front of the mountain just 35 miles away.
The food is delicious and meals
are served in the lovely main building, where a huge wood fire burns at night.
In front of this central area is a swimming pool with a waterhole below, where
animals come to drink. Walking safaris, mountain hiking, horse riding and game
drives are all on offer in this interesting region where game wanders freely.
Guests also experience cultural exposure to traditional Maasai customs.
