ol Donyo Lodge

I Took a Kenyan Safari With My 3 Children — and Here's How You Can, Too

"Situated between Tsavo and Amboseli national parks, the lodge provided many opportunities for wildlife sightings beyond daily game drives: while on the grounds the family spied cheetahs and elephants — forcing the sons to forget all about their iPads. The boys instead took guided mountain-bike rides and practiced using traditional African slingshots given to them by their best rafiki." - Emily Baldwin

"An intimate Great Plains Conservation property on Maasai-owned land bordering Chyulu Hills National Park, offering nine understated suites each with private plunge pools and outdoor star beds that foreground Mount Kilimanjaro views. The lodge emphasizes active outdoor experiences—horse riding, hiking, mountain-bike safaris—and traditional game drives, with the distinctive opportunity to sleep under the stars while listening to hyenas and lions. Its location on extensive communal land provides a quieter alternative to better-known plains while delivering a diverse program of guided activities." - Jane Broughton

"Nestled in a stunning but lesser-visited part of Kenya known as the Chuylu Hills is Ol Dunyo, a luxurious lodge with a big focus on sustainable tourism. Here, eight of the ten private cottages have their own swimming pool, and all enjoy roof terraces where intimate and romantic Star Beds can be set up for a night spent sleeping in style under a canopy of endless stars."
