Overview
Ngulia Safari Lodge is perched dramatically on the Ndawe Escarpment in Tsavo West National Park, overlooking the Rhino Sanctuary and surrounded by scenic hills. Built in 1969, it’s one of Kenya’s classic safari lodges, offering panoramic views, floodlit waterholes, and a front-row seat to the wild—especially the elusive leopard, which often visits the lodge’s baited tree at night.
