Sixty years after Geoffrey Kent helped define the modern luxury safari, A&K Sanctuary returns to Kenya’s heartland with a striking new lodge at the edge of Amboseli National Park. Set within a 128-acre private concession near the Tanzania border, Kitirua Plains Lodge offers a bold new take on safari style – architecturally daring, quietly luxurious, and perfectly in tune with its surroundings.

The lodge features 11 organically shaped standalone suites and two expansive two-bedroom suites, along with inviting communal spaces – a lively boma, serene wellness sanctuary with spa treatment rooms, gym, and a pool gazing straight towards Mount Kilimanjaro. Each space draws inspiration from the traditional Maasai way of life, with handcrafted Kenyan mango-wood furniture, cypress decking, woven-rush textiles, and sculpted metalwork celebrating the region’s artisanal heritage. Contemporary, understated interiors keep the focus firmly on the panoramic vistas.
