Journey To Tawi.
Get Your Bearings.
Set on Kenya’s south-eastern border with Tanzania, Amboseli is a place of ever changing landscapes, from acacia woodland, giant palm forest, dusty dry lake beds, volcanic plains, to lush, cool, green swamps fed by the snowmelt of Kilimanjaro.
The Lodge.
Set in the heart of its own 3,000 acre private conservancy and in one of the richest game areas in Kenya. Tawi Lodge is an eco award winning lodge, combining unpretentious comfort with subtle accents of style coupled with traditional East African hospitality.
How To Get Here.
It is incredibly easy to get to Tawi. There are daily flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Amboseli Airstrip or by charter to Tawi’s private airstrip. Driving is an option too, the drive takes approximately 5 hours from Nairobi. Or by train (SGR), to Emali Station, then a road transfer by Tawi to the lodge (2 hours).
…Mountain of Dreams', as quoted by Ian Allen, ‘Kilima Njaro’, this majestic mountain frames the Amboseli vistas. Rising out of the dusty salt flats for which Amboseli is famous, shrouded in mystery and romance. Mt. Kilimanjaro brings snow to the equator. From the lodge nestled on the foothills of this iconic mountain we watch in awe as she shows off her character peaking through the clouds or showing off in full spectacle…
…Home to some of Kenya’s biggest elephant herds. These gentle giants stroll across the landscape in their hundreds, a wonderous and awe inspiring sight! Exceptional views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, excellent wildlife and exotic birdlife… The name ‘Amboseli’ comes from a Maasai word meaning ‘salty dust’…
