Ol Tukai Lodge
Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Ol Tukai Lodge is in Amboseli National Park, with views across the wetlands to Mount Kilimanjaro. Its chalet-style rooms are spread through the grounds, and each looks out to the mountain or to the wetlands.
It is a comfortable, family-friendly base, with a large pool, a spa and a bar deck facing Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is known for elephants against the mountain, which is why the lodge is a good first-safari choice.
