Reviews of Tawi Lodge

"Tawi is a wonderful lodge with an amazing views overlooking Kilimanjaro. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. Food very good and nice little swimming pool overlooking the bush where you can see giraffe drinking. Our guide Wilson was really excellent, particularly knowledgeable on birds (we saw thousands of flamingo and a flock of >100 guineafowl) and we really enjoyed our game drives with him.

The lodge is located just outside of the National Park, but a short 15 mins drive to the gate. It felt like the Kilitome conservancy is quite young, but that Tawi's presence in the area has the potential to really benefit conservation in the long run. When we stayed the whole area was waiting for rain, so it was very dry and dusty. We got the impression that there is normally more wildlife closer to the lodge at other times of year, but nevertheless is seemed particularly good for Gerenuk and Grant's gazelle. The rooms were amazingly spacious, and ours had a fantastic and very private view of Kilimanjaro.

I also have to mention the beautiful gardens and ponds surrounding the reception area which were full of birds and amazing tropcial flowers." See all these reviews: 15n in Kenya

"The setup at Tawi takes full advantage of amazing views of Mt Kilimanjaro when the clouds lift. We enjoyed a lovely rain shower our first afternoon there which cleared the air and put some snow on the peak.

We were somewhat lazy in our time here, doing one game drive in Amboseli, and taking a camel ride around the Kimana Conservancy. The garden at Tawi was so lovely that it was an inducement to sit beside the pool and just relax.

The food was delicious and inventive, with daily menus written on a blackboard. A lot of the food was grown at the lodge." See all these reviews: 12n in Kenya
