An exclusive
eco-lodge, conceived, built and run by the local
Taita community, Lions Bluff Lodge is situated in
the 125,000-acre community-owned Lumo Community
Wildlife Sanctuary which lies at the heart of the
Tsavo eco system, surrounded by Tsavo East and West
National parks and the Taita Game Sanctuary. Lions
Bluff Lodge stands high on a rocky bluff looking
towards the North Pare Mountains, Kilimanjaro, the
West Usambara Mountains and the Taita Hills.
Below the lodge runs an ancient elephant
migratory corridor, which links Lake Jipe in Tsavo
West with the Galana River in Tsavo East. Here large
matriarchal herds of dust-red elephant lead their
offspring to wallow in the lodge's waterhole. Here
too, descendants of the infamous man-eating lions of
Tsavo breed amongst the rocky bluffs.
Lions Bluff Lodge Accommodation
Secluded and exclusive, Lions Bluff features just
twelve traditionally built rondavels, whose wildwood
verandahs are suspended over one of Kenya's most
stunning panoramas.
Overlooking the smoke-grey peaks of the Pare
Mountains, and towered over by the legendary mount
Kilimanjaro, all the ensuite rooms enjoy huge
panoramas. Linked by timber bridges, they are
simplicity incarnate; featuring hand-made
four-poster beds, crisp white linen and locally-made
wildwood furniture.
