| Travel With a Purpose - The Chyulu Hills Unfiltered
| |
|
|
Jambo Friend,
Years ago my friend Dennis Pinto (Micato) told me, “Luca, you’re like the guy who invented instant coffee in the ’30s - people will only drink it in the ’50s.”
Two decades later, what the world calls regenerative tourism finally caught up.
We didn’t follow the trend. We built it - day by day, in the Chyulu.
- Solar since day one
- Rivian electric safaris (asante sana Rivian!)
- Induction kitchens for guests and staff
- Rain harvesting for our organic vertical gardens and new wildlife waterhole
- A hard-core commitment to the Maasai community
| |
|
Result: exclusive wilderness, appropriate luxury, and real conservation - protecting wildlife, culture, and land are they actually live, not just in a brochure.
Want to see it all? Come aboard with me in the Trust’s Cessna 170 and see our paradise from the air.

Prefer to feel it from the ground? Giulio Grobert’s short film of his safari with us passed a million views because it’s honest and beautiful.

|
And see it here from the lens of his camera…

Our Top Experiences (the ones guests talk about for years)
| |
|
Maasai-Led Walking Safaris
Track wildlife on foot with the people who call this home. Quiet, alert, alive - you’ll never look at the bush the same way again.
| |
|
Cloud-Forest Immersions
Mossy trails, giant figs, rare birds. A cool green world above the plains; learn how a forest makes rain.
| |
|
Kilimanjaro From the Air
Strap in to the Cessna. The mountain fills your window; the Chyulu rolls out like velvet.
| |
|
Lava-Tube Cave Dinner
Candlelight in a lava tube. Simple food, bold flavors, laughter echoing in the dark. Pure magic.
| |
|
Rivian EV Game Drives
Powerful and whisper-quiet. You hear the wind in the grass and the low talk of elephants.
| |
|
Horseback Safaris
For confident riders: open country, fresh tracks, the thrill of moving with wildlife rather than toward it.
| |
|
Waterhole Hide & Night Skies
Wait it out in silence as the night comes alive. Then step into a sky that looks hand-stitched with stars.
| |
|
Community & Conservation Briefings
Straight talk: your stay funds rangers, schools, healthcare. Meet the team behind the work.
| |
|
Garden-to-Table Bush Cuisine
Organic produce from our vertical gardens, induction-powered kitchens, zero diesel, big flavor.
| |
|
Yoga & Reset Retreats
Sunrise sessions, breathwork in the forest, digital detox. Leave lighter.
| |
|
Campi ya Kanzi - 16 beds, classic elegance under canvas
Lookout hills, cloud-forest walks, horse rides, the famed cave dinner. Intimate and quietly five-star under canvas.
| |
|
Chyulu Lodge - 12 guests, wildlife at your doorstep
A private conservancy alive with elephants, giraffes, buffalos. Easy day forays to Amboseli or Tsavo; return to firelight and dine under the stars.
| |
|
Chyulu Wilderness Camp - up to 40, purpose meets people
Yoga retreats, corporate off-sites, student groups, sustainability immersions. The place to unplug and reconnect.
| |
|
Three ways to stay. One promise: every night you spend here funds Maasai-led conservation and community.
