Ol Donyo Wuas
Chyulu Hills | Kenya
Ol Donyo Wuas lies in the foothills of the Chyulu Range, halfway between Tsavo and Amboseli in a concession area of 300,000 acres, on communal Masai owned land, which is also part of the Amboseli eco-system. The open plains, rolling Chyulu Hills and snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro invoke images of Africa as it was in the earlier part of the last century; abundant game and Masai herdsmen living as nature determined they should in this unspoilt corner of Kenya.

h2. Activities & Wildlife at Ol Donyo Wuas
Guests staying at Ol Donyo Wuas have access to over 300,000 acres of uncompromised wilderness, the only fence being the one that surrounds the lodge to keep the wildlife out! There are all the big five on the property and over 7,000 head of resident wildlife. This number more than doubles when the Amboseli migration arrives.
Activities include night and day game viewing from open landrovers. You do not share your game viewing with a fleet of mini buses as in many other East African game parks. Horse riding on the open plains or through the mist forests as well as walking and hiking are other popular activities on offer at Ol Donyo Wuas. For those that prefer the confines of the camp, relaxing by the pool or watching the wildlife coming to drink from the waterhole below are sure to keep guests fully entertained.
The big five is also present in this area although rhino are seldom seen. There is a resident herd of bull elephant that live around the Lodge with larger herds passing through the area twice a year.
