Tawi Lodge
An eco award-winning lodge, combining unpretentious comfort with subtle accents of style
Tawi Lodge has been carefully designed to complement its natural surroundings while offering modern comforts. The main guest areas are built using locally sourced materials, blending seamlessly into the landscape. Thatched roofs, wooden beams, and earth-toned walls create a warm and inviting ambiance. Guests can unwind in the open-air lounge, sip on a refreshing drink at the bar, or indulge in a gourmet meal at the restaurant—all while gazing at the awe-inspiring sight of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
One of the lodge’s highlights is its commitment to eco-friendly tourism. It operates with a strong focus on sustainability, using solar power for electricity and hot water. The lodge also plays a vital role in local conservation efforts, ensuring that tourism benefits both the environment and the nearby communities.
Elegant and Comfortable Accommodation
The accommodation at Tawi Lodge consists of 13 beautifully designed cottages, each offering an exclusive retreat into nature. These individual, terracotta-colored cottages are spread out across the property, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Guests can access their cottages via charming gravel footpaths that wind through indigenous plants, adding to the sense of seclusion and harmony with nature.
Each cottage is a perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary comfort. While the walls are primarily built from brick and thatch, the front section incorporates canvas elements, allowing guests to open up their living space and fully embrace the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the cottages exude elegance with dark wooden floors and sophisticated decor. A plush, four-poster bed—available as either a double or twin—is draped in a soft mosquito net, ensuring a restful sleep. Comfortable armchairs are strategically placed around a cozy fireplace, making the cottages an inviting retreat, especially during the cooler evenings.
Ensuite Bathrooms: A Touch of Indulgence
The ensuite bathrooms at Tawi Lodge provide the perfect balance between luxury and functionality. Each bathroom features a deep, Victorian-style bathtub, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring the Amboseli wilderness. Additionally, a spacious shower offers a refreshing experience, allowing guests to rejuvenate before heading out for their next adventure. The bathrooms are well-equipped with eco-friendly toiletries, fluffy towels, and stylish fittings that enhance the overall experience of indulgence and relaxation.
Personalized Services and Unique Experiences
To elevate the guest experience, Tawi Lodge offers a personalized butler service. Whether you need assistance with unpacking, arranging activities, or serving drinks in your room, the attentive but discreet staff ensures that every detail is taken care of. This extra touch of hospitality enhances the overall sense of comfort and exclusivity.
Apart from luxurious accommodations, the lodge also offers a range of activities to make your stay truly unforgettable. Guests can embark on thrilling game drives in Amboseli National Park, where they have the chance to witness large herds of elephants, lions, zebras, and an array of other wildlife species. The park is also known for its stunning landscapes, with vast open plains and acacia woodlands stretching beneath the towering presence of Kilimanjaro.
For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, guided nature walks around the lodge provide an opportunity to appreciate the smaller details of the ecosystem, from colorful birdlife to unique plant species. Sundowners at a scenic viewpoint are another must-do experience, allowing guests to watch the sun set over the African horizon while enjoying refreshing beverages and light snacks.
