Oldonyo Lodge

"This was my second trip to Ol Donyo, my first with clients. I have stayed at many of Great Plains Conservations' camps in Kenya and Botswana. There is a reason I continue to return to their properties year after year. Ol Donyo is a gem located in the stunningly beautiful Chyulu Hills and it is the only lodge (though it has more of a camp feel than a lodge) in the 200 hundred thousand+ acres of land it leases from the Maasai and ensures protection for the Maasai way of life and the wildlife that call it home. Ol Donyo has gone through some refurbishing since my first trip (though I didn't think they needed to improve upon near perfection). The big highlight is the new underground hide at the waterhole that attracts all sorts of animals, including some of the biggest tuskers left in all of Africa. If you don't want to go out for a game drive, you can relax at the hide and gaze at the myriad of animals and birds that come to drink. The rooms all have their own private star beds if you wish to sleep outside under the stars. It is a must, especially when the big pride males come to drink and roar...you feel it reverberate around you! As one comes to expect of Great Plains, the food, service, staff, and guiding is world class. Their properties are so carefully designed to ensure the bush charm of the area is maintained. Ol Donyo definitely upheld this standard. Our guide, Daniel, was exceptional. A super kind human being with a wealth of knowledge of the area. A Maasai himself, our group bombarded him with all kinds of questions about the Maasai and he was very happy to oblige us. He is a great storyteller. All of the guides at Ol Donyo are incredible! Back to the setting. Mt Kilimanjaro dominates the horizon, with vast plains dotted with Umbrella Thorn Acacia (Acacia tortilis) trees which end abruptly at the base of the hills dominated by bush, thickets, and o host of other native trees. The hills were created by a very recent lava flow (geologically speaking) which has created a marvelous setting and Ol Donyo is built such a way as to melt into its surroundings. Flying into camp, you really can see how the lava flow moved along the landscape. The only other people you may see on safari are other guests from the lodge. We were exceptionally lucky to have incredible and numerous cheetah sightings every day (4 day stay), lions literally around the corner from the lodge everyday, lots of giraffe, elephant, eland, baboon, several species of antelope (the gerenuk being one of the very unique species), and more. Ol Donyo should be at the top of the list for a Kenya stay, especially since many of the national parks in Kenya have not been managed very well and are seeing the effects of poorly managed tourism. Ol Donyo and all of the other camps in the Great Plains portfolio are in areas away from those which really adds to the exceptional experience for the guest."

Waffles Suites

"We drove there by ourselves. The hotel had no lights at night and it took us a long time to find it. The front desk staff was rather cold. The hotel room was ok, the breakfast was ok, but I don't recommend staying here."

Silver Side Hotel

"The place is awesome and alcohol free"

Capella Resort

Flamingo Hill Tented Camp

"Wow! What a fabulous camp! Staff are amazing and so helpful, and nothing was too much trouble! Let me start by thanking Joshua, our brilliantly attentive waiter, who always was one step ahead of our requirements, with a fabulous smile! Our accommodation was amazing (no need for keys here!)?) 🤣 Our tents were spotless, and the hot water bottles each evening in the bed were such a thoughtful gesture on chilly evenings! Suffice to say we slept like logs knowing our askari were about all night. The food in the restaurant, I'm at a loss for words! Chefs, 👏👏👏 you catered magnificently for all tastes, and we have never experienced such excellent cuisine on any other of our others 20+ Safaris. WELL DONE! The bar and fire pit were a lovely place to relax after a long day and have our perfect gin and tonics (not flat either!) Well done, gang! Our deepest thanks and respects!"

Punda Milias Lodge

"What a wonderful quiet oasis right near Lake Nakuru and Soysambu parks. The staff and food were excellent. Be sure to have the granola and yogurt for breakfast. The glamping tents felt like you were in the bush, and were well appointed. The grounds were impeccable and the bird life was amazing. Highly recommend."
