Gorgeous lodge that gives hobbit house vibes. Staying in the crater rim allows you to be in the park first thing in the morning before the crowds build. Great spot for families to see four of the big five. Leopard would be unlikely.

Classic hotel in the shadow of gorgeous Mount Kenya. Luxury lodgings, fine dining, horseback riding, and a pool. Also consider hiking Mount Kenya over Kilimanjaro - it's not the highest in Africa, but it is far less frequented, and in many ways a mor...
