Ol Donyo Waus
Chyulu hills Kenya
Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge is a 20 bed luxury lodge (including 4 beds in our private bush home) in the Amboseli region
in south-east Kenya. Ol Donyo Wuas is located in the heart of the Mbirikani Maasai conservation area on the slopes of the
Chyulu Hills National Park. The recently re-built new lodge has magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro with beautiful, spacious
bedrooms (which are amongst the most attractive in all of East Africa), with décor that is both luxurious as well as
homely and comfortable in the tradition of the greatest wildlife lodges.
Special care has been taken to create
a menu that is exciting as it is varied. Since the lodge re-opened in July 2008, all our guests have raved about the lodge,
the food, our people and the experience.
When wildlife thrives, the people prosper
Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge and the Maasai people of the Mbirikani Group Ranch
are partners in plotting our communal destiny. The Maasailand Preservation Trust is the lodge's link with the people of
the area and the Trust maintains a series of important projects including predator conservation, education, water management,
re-forestation, and livestock management training. When you visit Ol Donyo Wuas, you are not just a tourist, but a participant
and contributor to the survival of the region's fauna and flora and the advancement of a noble people
A Proud History
For over 20 years Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge
was the Africa cognoscenti’s dream destination. Tucked away in the spectacular Chyulu Hills, above the heat and malaria,
and far away from the tourist circuit, Ol Donyo Wuas was a model for many of the ‘bush lodges’ that were to follow.
Ol
Donyo Wuas' founder Richard Bonham had often flown over this spectacular landscape and one day decided to land his Cessna
on the open plains and arrange to meet the local Maasai. After many meetings, a pioneering community conservation safari-tourism
project was created with the Maasai participating and benefiting from the travellers that Richard Bonham brought to their
remote homeland.
John Heminway, one of the most experienced and astute writers about Africa wrote recently in Travel
and Leisure magazine: "Richard Bonham could well be the father of the bush guest house. He built Ol Donyo Wuas many years
ago and it still sets the standard." Over the years, Richard and Tana Bonham and Trish Luke created one of the most beloved
of all East Africa's bush lodges, and in the process, played an important leadership role in the region.
In
the early years Richard and his guests would be excited if they even saw tracks of an elephant passing through. Today there
are elephants in front of the lodge almost every day - including six bulls who carry some of the largest ivory left in East
Africa. Lion and cheetah were always present in small shy numbers, but under the new conservation program, their numbers are
on the increase. Where once the black rhino had been shot to the brink of extinction, the last of the rhino are now protected
and today, breeding populations of this highly endangered creature are secure on Ol Donyo Wuas.
Though progress
was being made, more investment and an expanded and updated program was needed. Together with Richard, Tara and Great Plains,
a new initiative is under way which promises to benefit both people and wildlife in ways not possible a few years ago. However
the future holds enormous challenges and we recognise that we must adapt and evolve. Without deviating from our roots and
core beliefs we have to forge new partnerships with our neighbouring Maasai community.
By building a sustainable
model for conservation and quality tourism, we will ensure upliftment within our neighbouring communities and protection of
the wildlife of the area. Safari Activities at Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge
