Accommodation / Facilities:
| Opened in 1992, the lodge
can accommodate 190 guests in 92 suites, each enjoying wall-to-wall
carpeting, central heating, a private lounge with a mini bar, a
bedroom with two queen size beds and ample room for a third, an
en-suite bathroom with shaver sockets and a hair dryer, and a private
solarium which offers stunning views either down into the crater floor
below or of the setting sun over the western horizon.
Communications:- The lodge
has direct-dial satellite telephone facilities as well as satellite
television and wildlife-video-film options. A number of lodge
electrical generating systems provide 240 volts, 50 cycles 24 hours a
day. Our water supply comes from nearby springs but guests are advised
not to drink from the taps. Instead, complimentary bottled mineral
water is provided in the mini bars while further stocks are available
for sale in the main bar. We welcome kids of all ages and can
provide both special meals at convenient times and baby sitters on
request.
Our guest shops stock a wide selection
of curios, gift items, clothing, film, sweets, postcards, personal
requisites and toiletries. A swimming pool is situated on the very
edge of the crater itself and the water is bracing, even invigorating
to say the least, at any time of year. However, for those who would
prefer the warmth of a shower or bath in their suite, the pool is a
perfect area to unwind and relax while enjoying the views of the
crater floor below or of the sunsets in the evenings. |

Also, we can supply both
petrol and diesel fuels and can carry out most minor repairs. The lodge
has a 300 sq meter (2,500 sq feet) conference room as well as other
designated areas for conferences, presentations, cocktail parties and
private functions which can host upwards of 120 guests. Over and above
this we can provide and cater for any size of birthday or anniversary
party, bush breakfasts, lunches or bar-b-ques, sundowner cocktail parties,
gala dinners or theme evenings. |

Game
Viewing /Activities:
| The Empakaai Crater, a two
hour drive from the lodge, is a rarely visited, high altitude volcanic
crater which offers scenic views over the mineral-rich waters of Lake
Natron and of the nearby, still-active volcano the Masai call Ol Donyo
Lengai.
A one hour drive from the lodge, Ol Moti is another forgotten
volcanic crater and short-term destination where it is possible to
hire a guide and walk up to the top of the crater rim itself. |
