Ngutuni Lodge is a luxury safari lodge located in the
heart of a 10,000 acre private game sanctuary, surrounded
on three sides by Tsavo East National Park. The lodge overlooks
a water hole and is set against the spectacular backdrop
of the Sagala Hills, only 2.5 hours drive from Mombasa
and its international airport.
Once home to the infamous 'man eating lions of Tsavo'
who preyed on men constructing the railway line between
Mombasa and Kampala in the nineteenth century, the sanctuary
and surrounding national park are best known today for
their fantastic variety of wildlife including lion, cheetah,
elephant, buffalo as well as a huge variety of plains game
and bird life.
Spectacularly constructed from large timber poles, with
plunging thatched roofs and waxed timber decking, the lodge
skillfully blends traditional African design with the modern
comforts of a luxury lodge. From the moment you step into
reception and gaze through the open plan restaurant to
the savannah beyond you begin to realise why this is such
a special lodge.
Life at Ngutuni follows a delightful routine, early mornings
and late afternoons are spent game viewing as this is the
best time to observe animals foraging for food in the surrounding
savannah. Evenings are spent relaxing with safari companions;
time to enjoy a sundowner overlooking the softly illuminated
waterhole before a sumptuous dinner. Finally enjoy a few quiet
moments under star lit skies as you savour the lights and
sounds of the African bush.
