Located in the Mount Kenya national park, Mountain Lodge stands like an ark above the lush canopy of the forest. This first sight of this lodge sets the scene for the experience to come and provides a dramatic climax to the exciting approach up the lower slopes.
A wooden drawbridge leads from a forest path , over a moat and up on to the wooden ‘decks’ of the forest-green, timbered lodge.
Inside Mountain Lodge, the impression of having boarded a ship is enhanced by a combination of log panelled walls, timbered game-viewing decks and winding stairs leading to a selection of snugly comfortable, cabin-styled rooms.

Guests can also awake to the trumpeting of elephant, fall asleep to the symphony of the African night or sit in stillness and observe the fascinating interplay of the animals as they arrive to drink, bathe, spar and forage around the water hole. Finally, they can venture down to the secret viewing hide by the water’s edge and experience the awesome thrill of being only meters away from some of the most massive beasts on earth.
