Experiences

• Game drives

  The lodge is surrounded by wildlife-rich environs, and while you may spot the usual ‘Big Five’ here, you’re more likely to see cheetahs, fringe-eared oryx, gerenuks and giraffes. Head out on a night drive to discover some of the areas more unusual nocturnal creatures beneath the stars.

• Horse riding

  Animals will generally perceive a human on a horse to be different to one on foot or in a vehicle, lending your game viewing excursion a more intimate edge. There are horses and rides for all levels. Helmets are compulsory, and if you want to do a ride above novice level, you will need to take an arena test to see if you fall into the intermediate or advanced category.

• Guided walks

  Being outside the national parks, you’re able to enjoy your surroundings on foot without the sound of engines at every turn. The hills are perfect for walking and hiking. You’ll be accompanied by the lodge’s resident tracker and your armed guide who can suggest walks that suit your fitness levels and interests.

• Mountain biking

  Combine exercise with adventure and explore the rolling hills on a bicycle.

• Maasai village and school visits

  The lodge has a close relationship with the Maasai people of the Mbirikani Group Ranch. You might want to visit one of the villages, getting the chance to learn about their culture and traditions in an authentic, respectful manner.

• Amboseli National Park day trip

  Being so close to Amboseli National Park means that visiting for a full-day excursion is easy. You’ll leave the lodge after breakfast and take a leisurely drive across the plains passing a variety of small villages along the way.

• Wildlife hide

  Take a stroll down to the impressively-constructed log-pile hide just below the lodge’s main area set by a popular waterhole. An excellent spot for up close photography.
