ol Donyo Lodge

Ancient, Untamed Land

Between Kenya’s famous Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks, ol Donyo offers an exclusive wilderness hideaway on over 111 000 hectares of private land in the Chyulu Hills. 

Forged from the ancient lava that erupted from Kilimanjaro hundreds of thousands of years ago, ol Donyo offers a unique meeting point between ancient history, untamed wilderness, and modern luxury.
