My husband and I booked a trip to Africa for our anniversary with Shadows of Africa (amazing tour company!!) and Ol Tukai was one of our accommodations on our trip. This place is nothing short of incredible! Located right in Amboseli, the wildlife is truly abundant here, and you are surrounded by incredible animals! When you drive into the property you are sure to pass by elephants, and once on property there are countless baboons and vervet monkeys, and not to mention the property overlooks grassland with literally hundreds of zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo, elephants and other animals, and has an incredible view of Mount Kilimanjaro on top of all of that! (Weather permitting, of course!) Our room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The bed was covered with mosquito netting (as someone who is very prone to bites, this was a must!) and was very comfortable, and the bathroom and shower were very clean, had great hot water, and had a private window looking outside the back of the building. There was unlimited wifi as well, and for being in the middle of Amboseli it was pretty good! We honestly weren’t expecting internet at most of the places we stayed, since everywhere is so remote, so it was nice to be able to connect if needed. Each room had its own front facing balcony as well, with either an ‘elephant view’ (like our room) or a Kilimanjaro view. You must make sure to lock your doors to your room though, or one of the baboons or monkeys would definitely find its way inside! The swimming pool was absolutely gorgeous and overlooked the park so you could see elephants and zebra and other animals while lounging at the pool (though it was a little bit cold to swim in!!). There was also a fire pit for when it got cooler at night, and a lounging area in the lobby. All of the staff were extremely friendly, inviting and helpful; we had one server in the bar area, and I wish I remembered her name but she was absolutely lovely and always greeted us and brightened our day when we saw her! The bar area was gorgeous, with a circular bar and upstairs patio with a great view. The food selection was excellent as well, with lots of different options to choose from, and there was also an ala carte menu available at the bar. There was also a small gift shop on property with some really nice souvenirs available, and again the woman working there was so lovely and friendly. I hope we are able to stay at Ol Tukai again, it’s not an understatement when I say it’s one of my favourite hotels I have ever stayed at, what a beautiful place!

“What a setting”

This place is spectacular. The service is excellent with the food fantastic. The wow factor though is the views and the grounds. Sitting eating within sight of so many animals was breathtaking. Rooms very good too. A pool is available also. Best safari lodge we have stayed at.

“Lovely Lodge on the Plains”

We stayed here for two nights, as for all the lodges in Tanzania the staff were excellent, our room had a direct view of Mt Kilimanjaro. The bar was good and the food was good. We could watch the Elephants, Zebra and wilder-beast stroll across the plains. I arrived with a stomach ache and the staff contacted their onsite doctor who attended and provided antibiotics and Immodium, which was a great help. You need to ensure that you lock your room at all times as the baboons walk the length of the lodge pushing on doors and if they find it unlocked they will enter and try and steal whatever they can.
