Practical notes for Ol Donyo & the Chyulu Hills
- Best time to visit

- Getting around
- Guests typically fly via light aircraft from Nairobi's Wilson Airport directly to the lodge's private airstrip in the Chyulu Hills, roughly a 1-hour flight; once at Ol Donyo, game drives, horseback safaris, and guided walks are the primary ways to explore the surrounding plains and hills.

- Current trends
- Ol Donyo continues to distinguish itself through its Maasai land-partnership model, with the lodge operating on private land owned by 4,000 Maasai landowners, while its rooftop star beds facing Mount Kilimanjaro and horseback safaris across open plains remain signature draws that differentiate it from the vehicle-only game drives typical of more traditional East African safari lodges.
