Nice lodge with great views over Tsavo East. Refreshing swimming pool. The restaurant offers a reasonable buffet meal service. Rooms a little dated (1970s) and room bathrooms could definitely use a freshen up.

the view is amazing, the location is just inside the gate . The room is small but acceptable. The food could be better. Over all , we are satisfied.

Room with a view
Posted 3 Jan 2018
Pros: The hotel was built in the 50' - 60's and is still solid in its construction. The position is amazing for viewing the animals and plains of the park.
Cons: My personal preference is for hot water available in the shower no matter the weather. Unfortunately, I was spared the hot water.
Location: Situated inside the national park allows immediate access to viewing the wildlife and taking a game drive.
This lodge is situated inside Tsavo National Park. It is situated in an elevated position, giving you views all the way to the horizon, from all points in the hotel, including your room.
As you sit at the bar or swim in the pool, your gaze goes across the park taking in various watering holes starting from just below the hotel, stretching across the park. Animals can be clearly seen coming to the waterholes. Herds of elephants, gazelles, waterbuck, birds dipping in and out of the waterholes is an absolute delight. The herd depends on the circumstance and the day.
We arrived in our 2wd sedan and were easily able to drive ourselves around the park, delighting in the wildlife around.
Sitting in the dining room, watching the full moon rise and the animals as the wandered in and out of the watehole, birds on the wing of a great variety. This is a real taste of Kenya wildlife and the hotel is situated to take full advantage. Highly recommended for the experience of the nature that abounds

To die for views of the Savannah & wildlife!
Posted 31 Dec 2017The location of being up in the cliff tops makes the hotel an excellent choice. Watched elephants and other animals from our sun-loungers. Views from our room equally good.
It would be nice if the hotel maintained its conditions. It's getting a bit run downed. Shame as this might spoil the place in the future.

PAY DOUBLE JUST TO ENTER AT THE GATE
Posted 28 Oct 2017 on HotelsNO HOT WATER FOR 2 DAY WE SPENT THERE. Every day we were told that it has been used.
The bedding was not changed during our stay.

Great place to stay
Posted 3 Sep 2017 on HotelsAmazing experience. Staff friendly- nothing too much trouble. Views are fantastic and we saw so many animals, elephants, lions, antelope and buffalo- whole herds of them just outside our window. Best view ever

Overall Good
Posted 27 Apr 2017 on HotelsPerfect apart from the fact that the lights went off all night so we had no fan and it was hot. They should get a generator. Lodge was not full so its a shame as its a nice place. Halal food available which is a must now as over 30% of tourists are Muslim. Wifi Good. View Excellent. Staff Friendly. Roofs comfortable

The best view in Tsavo
Posted 17 Apr 2017Well, the place is very decayed. The water was cold, but the weather was very warm, but even so I am not into cold showers! There was no electricity for a lot of the time, and very few guests.
However, this was authentic Kenya. The staff were so kind and helpful that one felt wonderfully welcome. The view of all the elephant families on the lawn-like plain in front of the rocky outcrop on which the lodge is built was unforgettable. The food was not sophisticated, but good.
We didn't pay a great deal and I would certainly choose to go there again. I love Kenya.

Amazing view, lovey pool, 100 elephants!
Posted 5 Apr 2017A typically African hotel, everyone smiling, not luxury but had hot water and comfortable beds.
