Nestled on 200 acres of private land at the base of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, which towers nearly six thousand meters as Africa’s tallest snow-capped peak, this lodge exudes a unique rustic appeal. This very region of Kenya provided the inspiration for Ernest Hemingway’s classic tales, ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ and ‘The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber,’ both later adapted into popular films in the late 1940s. The area remains a haven for diverse wildlife, extending seamlessly to Amboseli National Park, just a convenient twenty-minute drive from the lodge.
