Olduvai camp voted best lodge in the world

By Adam Ihucha

AN Olduvai Camp in the scenic Ngorongoro conservation area has been voted as the best lodge in the World, lifting the Tanzania’s tourism in the international limelight.

The Olduvai camp was named by the prestigious magazine of Hotel & Lodge during its annual award ceremony held in France capital of Paris on January 11, 2012 at the Park Hyatt-Vendôme.

The Magazine’s Paris annual award event serves to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence of the global hotels and lodges.

More than 450 industry professionals from around the world were invited this year to participate in voting process, where the Mount Kilimanjaro Safari Club owned Olduvai Camp, emerged winner.




A statement issued by the magazine says that initially a total of 60 lodges were selected worldwide to compete by the independent jury of journalists, photographers and designers, but at the end, only three properties made the final cut.
“Competition was particularly fierce but Olduvai Camp of Tanzania rated first, Molori Safari Lodge, South Africa -second- and The Ranch at Rock Creek, USA -third -, beating 57 other beautiful properties all over the World” reads the statement.
According to Chief Editor Mrs Anne-Marie Catellin le Du, Olduvai Camp’s latest face-lift played a crucial role in the competition, but, above all, it was the unique spirit and atmosphere of Olduvai that made the difference, pushing it up the list.

“This is a true recognition of the passion and commitment of the Olduvai Camp owner, Mount Kilimanjaro Safari Club, and a much appreciated reflection of their long dedication to Tanzania,” Mrs Anne-Marie said in a statement.

Receiving the award, MKSC Director, Mr. Denis Lebouteux said: “We are very proud and happy to have been chosen for this prestigious prize. I would like to thank the journalists and the photographers who came and made a superb job”.

Mr Denis also said he was grateful to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which offered them this unique site, and all of MKSC staff, camp team and all those who worked very hard in Arusha to make Olduvai Camp to be the world’s best lodge.
“It is their dedication and loyalty that has contributed to where we are today,” he said in a statement.

An incredible harmony of shapes and colors, the Olduvai Camp stands out as a remarkable adventure in hospitality. Set in an ideal landscape for history and art lovers, photo maniacs and walkers the Olduvai Camp’s exterior is sleek with a unique combination of an "industrial" and a natural look.

The stylish interior, however, is in direct contrast - offering a warm, inviting and comfortable feel.

Anyone know the "daily rate" to experience the "Best in the World"? Just curious.
