We did a drive safari after attending a family event in Nairobi. I stayed at this lodge many years ago with a good friend and found it wonderful. This time I was with my wife who uses a wheelchair and walker. Since my last visit 14 years ago, there are now ramps that allow access to everything. In addition, there are a number of wheelchair access rooms. Our room was everything we (she) needed. The overall lodge is beautiful and very well maintained. There are 3 meals a da plus high tea. The food was not as good as I remember from the earlier trip, but it was still pretty good. The bar prices were reasonable and there is a good selection. The big attraction is that you can sit on the porch of your room or in the dining area and watch elephants, zebra, wildebeest, etc. just on the other side of the fence, 20 metres away. All with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. Overall, the experience was magical.

“A perfect experience!”

An absolute gem of a lodge! Beautifully designed and fully accessible for the less sure-footed (even the shower!). Large, well-equipped rooms, extra comfy bed surrounded by mosquito net curtains.

An absolute gem of a lodge! Beautifully designed and fully accessible for the less sure-footed (even the shower!). Large, well-equipped rooms, extra comfy bed surrounded by mosquito net curtains. Delicious food and impeccable service. And a pool for a refreshing dip. The lodge's large elephant-proof garden offers a welcome opportunity to take a stroll after a long game drive. And at night, you may even hear the rumbling sounds of your elephant neighbours talking to each other. Really outstanding!

We stayed for two nights(Oct 3 and 4 2024) in Oltukai lodge. It was recommended to us by our tour operator, Shanjoy tours and Safaris. What I absolutely loved: Location, nearness to the air strip, service, monkey chasers, very reasonable rates for laundry and the gift shop. Great location where you see the elephants, hippos and other animals right outside the fence from your room or from anywhere in the campus. Service- The entire team, housekeeping, dining, front desk were all good. A special callout to Hoseah, (very personable, service wih a smile, gave us valuable tips that were useful throught our trip in Africa), Chef Francis who made us delicious butter chicken and indian veges for dinners, and Abigail who served us drinks. Note: Below is just a feedback to the hotel mgmt, not a complaint. We still enjoyed our stay immensly. I did not take stars away for this reason. 1. I currently have a health issue that prevents me from walking a lot. I had bad experience with our previous hotels in the safari and I specifically asked our briefer where my room was: Her reply was, “not far”. It turned out to be very far, the second last from the end. I had no energy to go back, and change the room. I had to plan our activities in such a way to avoid, going back to the room often. So please, be honest when your guest asks you a question. There may be a good reason why they are asking you. To be fair, every hotel except one was not honest with us on this one. Not sure what the mstery of room assignments is: how much you paid, tour operator preference?? 2. Bar doesnt open until almost dinner time. We went to have a drink by the pool, at 6:30pm. No service there. We came to the bar and ordered. There was only one person struggling with the load. More people came around 7, or so, apparently all in a staff meeting before dinner. We could have spent a lot of money in the bar, but we couldnt because these timings 😀
