Set in 200 acres of private land, and with a rustic charm all of its own, the lodge nestles in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, which, at almost six thousand metres, is Africa’s highest and most famous snowcapped mountain. It was this region of Kenya that, in the 1930s, inspired Ernest Hemingway’s unforgettable stories, ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ and ‘The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber’, which were turned into more than successful feature films in the late 1940s due to their renowned actors. All forms of wildlife still abound in this wilderness, which continues all the way to the Amboseli National Park, an easy twenty-minute drive away from the lodge.
