Game drives at Chyulu Lodge take place in custom-made, open-air Rivian Safari EV vehicles, powered by the sun’s renewable energy and emitting zero emissions and noise. Led by expert Maasai guides, connect with the ancient beauty of the Chyulu Hills and discover the unique biodiversity of this natural environment. Besides all Big Five species, frequent sightings include Maasai giraffe, Grant’s zebra, a variety of antelope, and even cheetah.
Expertly guided walking safaris are ideal for anyone wishing to become familiar with the plants, insects, and birdlife of the Chyulu Hills region. You can also visit the Chyulu cloud forest, learn about the medicinal uses of different plants, and look out for wild forest hogs, rare turaco birds, silver-cheeked hornbills, and antelopes.
Visit a local Maasai village for an introduction to Maasai culture and their traditional way of life. Whether learning about beading or witnessing a dance ceremony, this is a great way to discover something about the communities that call this land home.
Early morning scenic flights are an incredible way to explore the landscape from an aerial perspective, soaring high over peaks, valleys, and forests with majestic Mount Kilimanjaro beneath. Please note that scenic flights incur an additional cost.
For a wider experience of the region, embark on an unforgettable day trip to Amboseli or Tsavo and see some of the famous lone tusker elephants and iconic Tsavo lions for which the area is known. This experience incurs an additional cost too.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
