Get directions & explore the area
Nairobi to Amboseli flight time: A scheduled 40 to 45-minute domestic flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport (WIL) directly to the Amboseli National Park Airstrip.
Airstrip transfer to camp: A 45 to 50-minute scenic game drive separates the main Amboseli airstrip from the Tawi Lodge property.
Private charter flight options: Guests using private aircraft or helicopter charters can land directly on Tawi Lodge’s private airstrip, located just 10 minutes from the reception.
Nairobi to Emali train time: A highly comfortable 1.5 to 2-hour journey via the modern Madaraka Express SGR Train from Nairobi Terminus.
Emali Station transfer to lodge: A 2-hour private road transfer arranged directly by the lodge from the Emali train station straight to the property.
Nairobi to Amboseli driving time: Approximately 4.5 to 5 hours (around 240 km) traveling via the smooth tarmac of the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway, turning south at the Emali junction.
June to October (Peak Dry Season): The best time for wildlife viewing at Tawi Lodge. Surrounding bush water dried up completely, making the lodge's permanent waterhole a critical magnetic oasis for massive elephant herds and predators.
January to February (Short Dry Season): The best time for clear Mount Kilimanjaro views. Early mornings feature exceptionally crisp, cloudless skies that are absolutely ideal for photography, coupled with significantly fewer tourist crowds.
November to December (Short Rains / Green Season): The best time for bird watching and emerald scenery. Short afternoon showers clear away the dust, prompting lush green growth and the arrival of over 400 migratory bird species.
March to May (Long Rains / Low Season): The best time for budget luxury discounts and travel seclusion. Heavy rainfall creates challenging 4x4 trails but awards dramatic cloud-draped mountain vistas and a completely private safari feel.
