What a place!! So quiet, and beautifully situated. I stayed in a traditional hut. It has all you need. Slept like a baby. Check out the museum. Very informative. The food was delicious. The staff ever so sweet and welcoming. They serve alcoholic drinks at the bar where also locals hang out. Great vibe! We even danced. Could have easily stayed longer..

The location of the resort was excellent and the grounds were well maintained. The entrance to Amboseli National Park is far away and resort keeps you in middle of the park for easy access to the game drive areas and views of Mount Kilimanjaro. All of the hotel staff we interacted with were are very friendly and helpful. The food at the buffet was exceptional and there was a diverse selection of food. There were several sitting areas around the resort where you could observe birds and other animals in the national park while you relaxed. Tea and coffee were always available in an area adjacent to the bar. The room was very comfortable and had a ceiling fan to help keep you cool.

When you arrive you are immediately enveloped in luxury, cleanliness and the kindness and professionalism of the staff. Everything is beautiful and furnished with great taste, in fact we were ashamed because coming from a Game Drive we were obviously dressed for travel and dusty, but the staff welcomed us warmly without letting us notice our condition ;-) Just five minutes drive from Lake Nakuru, for New Year's Eve they organized a party with an amazing buffet, tables set in great style and luxury, colored lights everywhere, huge and beautiful rooms. You should stay a week rather than just one night. TOP Hotel, greeting to the staff and thanks for everything. Tara (Italy)

    Ol Tukai is a delightful lodge set in a perfect location in the middle of the Amboseli park where elephants walk right past the fence across the lawn! The magnificent Kilimanjaro mountain rises in the distance and the staff could not be nicer! Food is buffet style and plentiful, the pool a wonderful place to cool off in between twice daily game drives (extra), which are a must. It’s such a beautiful place.

    The hotel rooms are big and spacious, clean with comfortable beds. The breakfast and meals served at the hotel were delicious and mouthwatering. A lot of activities to do at the hotel and is perfect getaway from the hustles and bustles of the city for sports and nature lovers. The hot water bottle to manage the cold was a brilliant idea keep it up.

    The food was great, the hot showers amazing.

    The food was great, the hot showers amazing. The views from our room was perfect .... could see the park well. The staff were all pleasant, and helpful. The lodge organised a tour guide for us.... Patrick was amazing and very patient on the game drive.... we were happy with the drive. Agnes was always very reassuring and always ready to help. The front office staff always very welcoming. We got to the lodge very late on the day of arrival, and Waithera at the front desk, kept engaging with us until we got there. She was very encouraging. The kitchen staff had kept dinner for us even that late. Thank you so much. Definately I place I would love to return to.

    I loved everything until the moment when, during checkout, i was told that since I had prepaid on this platform and they hadn’t received the payment yet, I needed to pay the entire sum a second time otherwise I wouldn’t be allowed to leave the premises. I ended up paying a second time just because I had errands and am now disputing with the hotel for a full refund.

    Fantastic wildlife and some amazing wide open plains with beautiful views. Excellent birdlife and nice roads. Sadly, let down by the volume of cars and very rude, disrespectful guides who drive past you, showering you in dust even when it is clear you are leaning out of the car, taking pictures. Overcrowding of lion sightings with no control by park staff.

    Getting to Gilgil is not very easy especially on Fridays evening because of the traffic at the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway. If using personal, I recommend you leave Nairobi by noon. It will be a smooth sail. Nyama choma and grilled chicken are what you should order when there. The grill masters over there rearly miss on those options. Fun activities would be visiting Lake Elementaita and strolling around.

    Web site a bit misleading as it appears to be on the lake but in fact there is no lake access but a tiny view of it if you walk to the far end of the garden and peer through the trees. Garden very over grown and has run down feel. Lovely lady who runs the place who did everything she could to welcome us. Quite basic room but value for money. A few campers - basic breakfast available

    Kabarak University Nakuru town campus is one of the areas I visited and was utterly impressed by how clean, well-constructed, strategically situated, warm-welcoming and beautiful place it is. Their buses are relatively new and comfortable. The eateries surrounding this campus offer great fish and fresh juices. Westside Mall was a blast and Bolt taxi services are very helpful especially in the night. I will avoid a short vacation next time; everyone needs at least 6 days to really experience the good side of Nakuru alias Naks-Vegas..

    This was my second visit to Amboseli, home of the Jumbos! It is THE place to see plenty of elephant activity in the morning and evening. Saw lions last time, but not this time - but did see other big cats - cheetahs having lunch. There are a couple of Maasai villages open to visitors (for a price) just outside the park.

    The hotel itself is located just past Gilgil town off the main highway and therefore easily accessible. It is just right accross lake Elementaita and the view is great from the hotel. Nakuru is also roughly 30 minutes drive away and therefore one can visit Nakuru National Park and Menengai crater without much of a hassle from here. There are also excellent Restaurants/hotels located not too far from here and on the scenic hills if one wants to explore Gilgil further. It is a surprising Gem. However, make sure to carry everything you need as there are no major supermarkets around.
