Abercrombie & Kent has set a June 1 opening date for the Kitirua Plains Lodge in Kenya's Amboseli National Park. 

Located on a 128-acre private reserve adjacent to the park, the property will have 13 standalone suites with views of Mount Kilimanjaro. There will be 11 standard suites and two two-bedroom suites, each incorporating natural textures and woven details into their design.

 

A&K called Kitirua "a deliberate departure from traditional tented safari camps" and one of its "most architecturally adventurous properties to date."

Guest experiences will include game drives, cultural visits with Maasai communities, hot air balloon excursions and gatherings at the lodge's outdoor boma area. The lodge will also offer a spa, gym and swimming pool.

Located in the heart of elephant country, the lodge's suites provide a "front-row seat to one of Africa's most iconic landscapes, where herds of elephants roam freely through a timeless wilderness," A&K said.

Bookings for the Kitirua Plains Lodge are open. Guests are able to experience the lodge as part of A&K's Tailor Made journeys or Small Group Journeys. 

Rates start at $1,658 per person, per night for stays of seven nights or longer during the lodge's opening June through October 2026 season.
