Ol Donyo Wuas lies in the foothills of the Chyulu Range. The Chyulu Hills are the youngest range of volcanic hills in Africa, the last volcanic activity having only happened about 600 years ago. They are situated halfway between Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks on a concession of 300,000 acres of communally owned Maasai land, known as Mbirikani Group Ranch, which is also part of the Amboseli eco-system.
The open plains, rolling hills and the snow topped Kilimanjaro invoke
images of Africa as it was in the earlier part of the last century. Wildlife and Maasai herdsmen live, as nature determined they should, in this
unspoiled corner of Kenya.

Laura Bailey, The
Sunday Telegraph: "I confess, I
had envisaged heading into the bush as soon as I arrived but I jettisoned
this plan, having been seduced by my cottage. Accommodation at Ol Donyo
Wuas is in double thatched cottages; mine, Kushoto, turned out to be a
palatial wooden home on stilts, the bedroom alone the size of my little
London flat." |
