What an incredibly charming and luxurious lodge just outside Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Set in the middle of mature and lush landscaping, the property has individual cabins with zippered net “doors” and verandas, amenities like robes and slippers, free laundry service and all- inclusive food and drink. The staff are welcoming, gracious, attentive and so helpful. The meals were excellent - better than restaurants you might go to in Europe or the US - all the more impressive because of the relatively remote location (how do you get supplies there every day??). You pre-order your lunch and/or dinner. I also had a Swedish massage which was excellent. There is a nice lawn, edged by a cool swimming pool and seating area. Just on the other side of that lies a watering hole, which the lodge works to maintain. And what an excellent effort it is - it is a highlight for the property because all sorts of animals come by to have a drink. We saw giraffes, zebras, gazelles and even an elephant. They stroll in to the area, relax and enjoy (maybe looking at us the way we do at them) and then slowly amble away. It really brings you into their world. Tawi Lodge is a terrific property and I would definitely return.
