Oltukai sits in Amboseli Park, in a grove of Acacia,Thorn Trees, and Palms.

After driving for hours with the Kenyan sun and heat beating down on the van, and traveling down gravel and dirt roads, arriving at the Lodge was a major reward!

Oltukai probably wouldn't be a pick for the "backpacking" type. It's more on the lines of a 3-5 star resort, just like you would find in North America.

Here's the roadway leading into the entrance portico. You can see people off-loading from their safari van after a day in the park.

While it's not very prominent, this spot has one very special treat for the guest. The wicker container with the white cloth on top has individual face cloths laready dampened with cool water. When you get out of your vehicle and wipe your face with one of these,it's pure nirvana!
