Tawi Lodge

My husband and I stayed at Tawi. Can’t say enough about the accommodations, the staff and chef. Looking out at Mt. Kilimanjaro every day! Amazing food after a beautiful safari and day. Too much food!! Ha! Staff were so hospitable and cared for us so gently and kindly. Views were amazing. The watering hole is magical with all the animals coming to it at dinner time. Craig, the oldest (elephant) tusker of the area visited!! Our guide, Tom was amazing. Really a special place.

We're a family of 4 who traveled through Kenya for 12 days. This hotel was the highlight. It was small and authentic. All of the staff were welcoming. The food was really amazing (especially after buffet after buffet at other hotels). Our room overlooked Mt. Kilimanjaro, which really made it special. Each night we would look up at the stars and just feel very fortunate that we found Tawi Lodge! No brainer.

We stayed here for 3 glorious nights in late June 2024. This was a 5-star experience for us. The lodge and grounds are absolutely beautiful and meticulously maintained. Whoever designed this is a genius of a designer. We stayed in a suite that was absolutely stunning, super spacious, clean, very comfortable and had every amenity we could want or need. We also had amazing views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Our suite was also a few feet away from a watering hole so we saw many animals (elephants, giraffes, baboons, etc) right from our private deck. The staff was caring and attentive and professional. The staff fed us three fabulous meals daily and all our game drives were fantastic with our guide Maina. There is a watering hole adjacent to the beautiful pool area and we thought this was a highlight of the visit to be able to enjoy watching the animals come and rest and bathe. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you to the team Titus, Gladys, Rose, Samuel and others you made our stay unforgettable. Tawi Lodge is a very special place. If you are planning a trip to Amboseli, I highly recommend Tawi Lodge.

Fantastic Lodge all around! We are photographers and birders. Our driver/guide was amazing. To start, we traveled by safari vehicle from the Serena Lodge and saw over 30 giraffes before arriving. Of course we saw elephants, zebra, etc etc. we were lucky enough to encounter “Craig” one of the last long- tuskers twice. The lodge itself is beautiful- shout out to Gladys - food was delicious and they accommodated my need for gluten-free options. Definitely recommend.

Tawi lodge is a 15 room lodge located 20 minutes outside Amboseli on a private conservancy. Indeed we saw lots of game particularly elephant, gerenuk and a leopard there. Tawi has great views of Kilimanjaro whilst weaver birds build nests outside reception, an amazing sight. All rooms were well designed and comfortable whilst the food / menu choice were excellent and the staff helpful. A bush sundowner was also a highlight. Tawi is a great base to explore Amboseli.

Exclusive retreat with full immersion into the wide life. Exclusive and amazing location in Amboseli, lovely and very accommodating staff. The lodge is very authentic and the direct view on the Kilimanjaro is outstanding. The elephants, giraffes, zebras… are coming in front of the lodge. It was really a memorable experience
