Ol Donyo Wuas Tours, Accommodation in Ol Donyo Wuas

You are accompanied by our local guides on all activities and they impart plenty of knowledge about the area's flora and fauna, history and culture and much more.

Back at the lodge after a hot shower and a candlelit three-course dinner, relax with a sky full of stars, the ever-present sounds of the African night, maybe a lion roaring, a hyena laughing or an elephant rumbling, as the animals keep track of each other, further enhancing this magical wilderness environment.

Early morning tea or coffee is served to you in your room, as the sun comes up behind the Chyulus and the plains light up in front of you, you get your first glimpse of Kilimanjaro. Dressed for the cool morning, which will warm up considerably, set off on horseback or on a walking safari, or on a gamedrive. Get in amongst the giraffe on horseback, track an elephant, look for cheetah on the plains with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop.

After a couple of hours or so, arrive at a breakfast set up under a shadey thorntree. After a full breakfast, meander back to the lodge by whatever mode of transport you choose. This usually gets you back to the lodge about 11.30 a.m 12.00 midday.

Time for a bit of "down time" to relax before lunch. In the heat of the day, there is time to relax, read, enjoy a siesta. After tea, either driving, walking or horseriding out on the plains, this is the perfect time for observing predators in action and as the sun slips over the horizon we find a suitable spot to reminisce on the day with a sundowner.

After wards.....

Wrapped up warm in masai blankets, head back to the lodge game driving with a spotlight to try and the spot some of the more unusual nocturnal game. Back at the lodge for 7.30ish 8.00 p.m. time for a shower and a drink by the fire before dinner. At this stage we plan the next day. Activities can be arranged to suit you, full day drives with picnic going up into the hills, and other options are available.
