## Why Stay at Aa Lodge Amboseli?

Aa Lodge Amboseli is a welcoming three-star hotel-style property offering dependable value close to Amboseli National Park. Spacious lawns, an outdoor swimming pool with a separate children's pool, a playground and three conference halls make it especially practical for families and larger tour groups, while sunset views of Mount Kilimanjaro can be enjoyed from the grounds on clear evenings.

## Where Is Aa Lodge Amboseli & What Wildlife Can You See?

The lodge lies about 4 km from Amboseli's Kimana Gate, putting the park's elephant-rich central marshes within easy reach for morning and afternoon game drives. Travellers driving from Nairobi follow the Mombasa highway to Emali and then the Loitokitok road, a journey of roughly 240 km taking four to four and a half hours; alternatively, a 40-minute scheduled flight from Wilson Airport lands at Amboseli's airstrip, with a road transfer of around 35 to 40 minutes to the lodge.

## Rooms & Style

The 64 rooms range from single and twin rooms through doubles and triples to a dedicated honeymooner category, all en suite with private balconies or terraces facing the gardens or, in some cases, Kilimanjaro. Buffet dining, a poolside bar and room service keep the stay easy-going rather than formal.
