Unique surroundings and lovelly ambiance

Unique surroundings with Kilimanjaro on the background and animals roaming free right before your eyes. Not a new property nor all features what you would expect from a high-end hotel, but the ambiance is so great. The staff also very friendly. I don’t think we have ever been as relaxed as in Ol Tukai!

Overall, a wonderful experience. Every member of the staff connected with us. They were professional, personable, caring, efficient, helpful and thorough. Made us feel so welcome. Could not do enough to make us happy. The culture of Ol Tukai is amazing - every employee seems to have been hand-picked first for their engaging and genuine character. Then they have been trained in every aspect of hospitality.

Best weekend ever!

This was probably the best experience we have ever had. The hotel in the middle of the park so the views are absolutely amazing. We even got to see Mt. Kilimanjaro! The food was incredible, a variety of options and each one was amazing. Spa was also great very good and high quality essential oils used. And Isaac our Safari guide was incredible, he promised to try as hard as he could to find all the animals and he sure delivered! We were in the middle of a heard of a elephants, greatest experience ever, saw lionesses with their cubs, hippos, giraffes, buffalos, impala you name it!

有一个惊人景色的草坪, 进门的大堂也不俗,泳池也美,但是基本没有机会游泳,因为整天白天都出去看动物了。 服务好,但不是发自内心的微笑,有两个马赛人穿着传统的服装,我合完影,然后挤眉弄眼的轻声要小费,瞬间让酒店高达上的形象没了。 房间老式的,窗美,但是其它设施太过老旧。和公园门口的帐篷酒店的舒适度没法比,如果下次我还来玩,一定全程住公园门口的帐篷酒店

自然と動物を感じられるリゾートホテル

ホテルのロケーション、宿泊中のスタッフの対応、食事の内容など想定していたよりもかなり良かったです。食事の内容は毎日内容の違うブュッフェでレストランとバーエリアからは象の群れを遠くに見ることができます。スタッフはいつも和やかで満足度の確認も怠りません。部屋の中にも虫が入らないように可能な限り配慮をしており夕方になるとベットの周りには蚊帳のセッティング、ホテル内はとても清潔でした。とてもリラックスした時間が過ごせます。ただ、空港送迎依頼のメール返信が遅い上に英文から威圧的な印象を受けた為、出発前のモチベーションはかなり下がりました。結果行ってみるととてもフレンドリーでおもてなしで溢れていたので驚いた程です。今となってはメール文にも悪気はなかったのかと思われますが連絡する際は早めにされた方が無難です。ちなみに空港送迎費は2人で往復144ドルでした。 お勧めできるホテルです。

キリマンジャロを眺めながらゆっくりするのに適したロッジ

今回、ハネムーンで利用しました。マサイマラから、ナイロビ経由で移動しましたが、陸路を車で行くと1日かかります。マサイマラを朝の6時に出発し、ナイロビで遅めの昼食を取って、アンボセリのここに到着したのが夕方6時を過ぎていました。なので、スケジュールとしては、ケニア旅行の初めに入れるといいかもです。空港からアンボセリというのが、ナイロビの危険な市内を通らずに行けるようです。 わたしたちは、ホテルの予約とは別に運転手と車を手配して1日2〜3回のゲームドライブをしましたが、正直、そんなに必要ありませんでした。アンボセリ国立公園では、車の通路からしかサファリをすることができないルールなようで、自分たちから動物に近づくことができません。せっかくライオンを見つけても、遠くから望遠で見ることしかできず、退屈です。ドライバーによっては近づいてくれる人もいるようですが。。 やはり、ゾウはたくさんいるので、ここではゾウと山を目的にし、ゲームドライブはホテルのサービスのものを(有料かも)一度利用するだけで十分だと思います。 ホテルの部屋については、滞在に充分な清潔さで、シャワーのお湯も24時間使えるところがいいところです。水圧も弱くはなかったです。シャワーだけです。 食事は、美味しくはありませんが、まあこんなところかというところです。宿泊者が少ないとコース料理から選べますが、多いとディナーもブッフェになります。朝、昼はブッフェです。同じようなものが並びます。わたしも妻もここの食事をした後にお腹の調子を少し崩しましたので、生ものやミルク等は注意したほうがいいかもです。 3食付きの料金としては妥当なところかと思います。 部屋からの景色はシマウマたちが草を食べていたり、牧歌的で壮大なものなので、ゆっくりするにはいいところです。
