The camp with its sights set high

Views don’t come much more dramatic than the towering form of Mount Kilimanjaro – and there are few lodges better placed to capture this drama than Tawi Lodge. Located on the southern fringe of Kenya’s stunning Amboseli National Park, the view from Tawi is a quintessential safari landscape of vast open plains with Kili’s snow-tipped grandeur providing the backdrop.

As well as its impressive landscapes, this location is also a sensational spot for wildlife. A short game drive will reveal Amboseli’s incredible array of wildlife, including lions, hyenas, wildebeest and Kenya’s largest elephants – in fact, you won’t even need to stray from the lodge to see the elephants, because while you enjoy your morning refreshments, you can watch them enjoy theirs at Tawi’s waterhole, just metres away.

The lofty mountain view is by fittingly matched by the high standards of this little boutique camp. Tawi is beautifully designed to blend into the African landscape surrounding it with thatched roofs, rich woods and soft lighting. And Tawi has been thoughtfully set out to maximise your enjoyment of that dominating mountain view – every one of its cottages is arranged so that Kili is on display whether you’re on your private veranda, or even in bed or relaxing in your own chic freestanding bath.

For all its rustic charm and the wilderness setting, there’s luxury in abundance here. Each spacious cottage features big, comfy beds, an en-suite with both a bath and shower, and its own fireplace for cosy nights. Plus, for a full pampering experience, Tawi offers a spa, outdoor hot tub and a range of massage treatments. And with a gourmet menu featuring fresh local produce, the sense of luxury is complete.

This whole package of great hospitality and stunning aesthetics makes Tawi one of East Africa’s most appealing accommodations. Throw in a truly classic view and amazing game-spotting and it’s simply world-class – and unsurprisingly, a firm fixture on Africa House’s list of favoured properties for our guests in this area.
