The spa offers two spacious treatment rooms where you can indulge in the lodge’s delightful signature Oringa Massage, which utilises scented eucalyptus wood to promote optimum blood flow and lymph drainage.

There is also a large swimming pool at the lodge, and during the day you can embark on morning and afternoon safari drives, and even exciting night drives which enable you to spot a variety of nocturnal animal life. Maasai dance performances, a bush dinner – complete with campfire and warriors - and a visit to a traditional Maasai craft market are also on the menu.

Restaurants

The lodge boasts a spacious Maasai-inspired dining room which allows you to eat either inside or outdoors depending on your preference and offers sweeping views over the grasslands. Linked to the dining room is a comfortable bar area with plenty of outdoor seating so you can enjoy the glow of the campfire after dark.

Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style and include a wide selection of dishes, including vegetarian options.

Dinners come in the form of 5-course menus, and there are also regular theme nights, such as Kenyan night, which allows you to sample a variety of local favourites.

Bush dining is also available, so you can enjoy your meal out on the savannah, overlooking the hippo pool or on the summit of Look-Out Hill.

You can even opt for a Breakfast Balloon Safari or savour a picnic on the safari trail.
