The hotel's jazz club, in the building's restored 1920s vault, is open to outside guests and worth a visit even if you're not staying.
Directly on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street — steps from Central Park, but genuinely quiet once you're inside given the building's thick 1921 construction.
This is Aman's highest-priced US city hotel — book well ahead for any meaningful rate.

The Great Migration typically passes near the lodge between roughly May and July, and again for the calving season January–March — worth building a trip around either window.
Fly-in access via light aircraft to the Kogatende or Seronera airstrips is standard; road transfers from Arusha run 6+ hours.
Game drives and a resident naturalist programme are included in the nightly rate, unusually for the region.
