Chyulu Hills
Stone-and-thatch suites with rooftop star beds, facing Kilimanjaro across the plains.
The Chyulu Hills, which inspired Hemingway's Green Hills of Africa, are a young volcanic range with grasslands, cloud forest and lava caves. The surrounding Maasai group ranches form a corridor for elephants, lions and other wildlife moving between Amboseli and Tsavo. Activities include game drives, walks with Maasai guides and horseback rides with Kilimanjaro on the horizon.
Two outstanding lodges work closely with local Maasai communities.
The Chyulus are about an hour's flight from Nairobi. Mornings are clearest for mountain views.
