The stay we had at Oilepo Amboseli was super and we were impressed with everything there. The lodge has a very beautiful and tasteful atmosphere. One of the most memorable aspects of this lodge was the view that we had of Mount Kilimanjaro right from our bed, which was simply breathtaking. The à la carte restaurant with a three-course menu was really good. The quality was high, the dishes were exquisitely prepared and the food was delicious. The restaurant itself is a magical place: from there, one has a view of a watering hole where gazelles and even elephants are known to drop by to take a drink. Having a meal with a view of wild animals in their natural habitat was a thrilling experience. The staff were very warm and kind to us throughout our visit. They were so welcoming and taken care of us in every manner. Our room was also super: it had a very good shower, a bathtub too and reliable Wi-Fi. Even though the lodge is not inside the park, the entrance to Amboseli National Park is only 2 to 3 minutes away. Together with our time in Amboseli, this was perfect as a last stop of our honeymoon safari. We would have loved to stay here longer and will certainly come back if we are ever in the area again. A really special place and highly recommended.

A Truly Magical Experience We recently had the pleasure of staying here for two nights, and our entire experience was simply fantastic. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible staff, who make you feel right at home. The grounds are absolutely stunning, meticulously maintained by the dedicated gardening team. We enjoyed relaxing by the watering hole opposite the bar, where we were fortunate enough to see elephants, zebras, baboons, and warthogs while sipping our drinks. Our room was lovely, featuring a very comfortable bed. Each evening, the staff came to turn down the room, closing the curtains and mosquito nets, which added a special touch to our stay. The restaurant is excellent; every meal we had was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The owners of this establishment should be immensely proud of their team. Every single member we encountered was incredibly hospitable and made us feel genuinely welcome. Thank you once again for an unforgettable experience!

Oilepo is an amazing choice for Amboseli National Park. The staff was incredible and our suite had some amazing views of the mountains Kilimanjaro, also the sky was the best. There’s power outlets on the rooms and a main building with the restaurant that has some amazing views of a water hole where animals normally gather to drink (baboons, antílopes and elephants). The food was also amazing! A la carte with some great options and a small lounge space to chill with some drinks during the evening. Hotel is some minutes away from the park entrance, will definitely recommend it!

Located on the doorstep of Amboseli National Park, Oilepo was the PERFECT spot for the start of our honeymoon. Beautiful views of Mt Kilimanjaro, the most friendly and attentive staff (shout out to Purity!), delicious food and the rooms were spacious, rustic and comfortable. Not to mention the watering hole beside the restaurant - we saw elephants, giraffe, baboons, zebra and antelope. Absolutely magical!!

Oilepo is amazing! The resort is well maintained with spacious suites. The staff hospitality is exceptional and the food is delicious. You have views of Mount Kilimanjaro and night stars. It is close to Amboseli Park where we saw many elephants, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes and lions. Actually, you may not need to go to the nearby park as there is a watering hole adjacent to the reception area where we saw an elephant, zebras, mongooses and monkeys up close.
