Lodge Overview
Located on the private 275,000-acre Mbirikani Group Ranch in south-eastern Kenya, between Tsavo East and Amboseli National Parks and next to Chyulu Hills National Park, Ol Donyo Lodge is a place of timeless wild beauty presided over by the magnificent summit of Africa’s greatest icon – Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mbirikani Group Ranch
Since 2004, when lions of the area were being killed off in record numbers, Mbirikani has been the center for admirable conservation work. To reduce human-wildlife conflict, the Masailand Preservation Trust and Big Life Foundation have constructed a paramilitary force of armed rangers who patrol the area to combat poaching. Since these efforts have been in effect the number of animals, including elephants and rhinos, have increased heard traffic immensely.
