a private oasis
A world away, in the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro
Karibu.
Welcome to the tranquil Tawi, an oasis set in succulent rich gardens, interspersed with crystal clear springs and large shady Tortilis Acacia trees. Over 150 species of birds will serenade you on arrival. Beyond the bustling waterhole - look up! Mt. Kilimanjaro welcomes you…
Time to Relax.
Set plum in the heart of its own private conservancy and in one of the richest game areas in Kenya, Tawi Lodge is an idyllic retreat whilst exploring the Amboseli ecosystem on the lower foothills of Kilimanjaro.
This Eco award winning lodge combines unpretentious comfort with subtle accents of style coupled with traditional East African hospitality, and a sense of warmth and genuine welcome, embracing traditional East African hospitality with our roots extending deep into our heritage here.
Eat Well.
Inspired by the exotic ingredients and vibrant colours of East Africa, the team of chefs concoct innovative and tasty meals of fresh locally available ingredients. Delicious candle-lit dinners are served by the warmth of the fireplace, or under the stars, Kilimanjaro presiding as the backdrop. We aim to please at Tawi and we love experimenting with new dishes, presentations, always aiming to create fresh, novel meals for any dietary requirements.
Fresh organic home grown veggies and greens are picked daily from our luscious lodge gardens. Everything we can make from the lodge kitchen we do, from yoghurts, fresh juices, breads and our breakfast cereals.
Sleep Well.
The lodge and cottages sprawl along the edge of dry acacia woodland with Mount Kilimanjaro standing proudly above. Elephants often pass right closeby, gently allowing close absorption into their secret lives, from the comfort of the cottage decks.
Each of the “elegantly rustic” cottages are richly appointed, all with incredible views looking out over the mountain, the cottages and Suite have spacious bedrooms, private decks, en-suite bathrooms, with both bathtub and shower each cottage has large, snug 4-poster beds.
