A lot under construction

Waterhole

Stayed in February 2024

The lodge needs urgent overhaul. Mosquito nets had holes. Stuff was loud, food mediocre. No fresh coffee for breakfast, just instance coffee.

Great common areas with stunning looks to Tsavo East and the occasional elephant coming by. Several pools.

Stayed in January 2024

The food is no culinary experience but perfectly fine for a couple of days. Animals at the waterhole is no guarantee - take it as a bonus if elephants show up, apparently they do on most days depending on season and their mood.

I enjoyed every minute of my stay. Excellent location just outside the national park, great views. Clean rooms. Very relaxing. Staff are super friendly. The views from the rooms vary and only some have balcony so worth checking this when booking. I had an excellent view over the savannah and the water hole from my balcony. Saw some elephants from afar but no animals came to the waterhole during my stay. At times I had one of the swimming pools all to myself (besides the monkeys watching me). Some Kenyan families visiting which I thought was nice. I haven’t stayed at another lodge but from what I can tell, good value for money.

It was not the right season to watch the animals, such as elephants, etc at the waterhole. We hardly saw any animals. The game drive In booked did not fulfill our expectation, because we did not even spot Cheetahs, which has happened to me never before - probably December is not the right season.

What they call a Deluxe Room is shabby and dusty - they had to move us into a Superior Room otherwise I would have canceled it.

The rooms were exceptionally warm making sleeping uncomfortable. Air conditioning would make the stay way better after a decent nights sleep.

The location, Facilities and staff were absolutely amazing.

I did not like the rooms

I appeciated the friendly staff

Stayed in August 2023

Considering the price point which is comparable or around the same as other lodges in the area, the facilities fell way below the expectation. The buildings were drab and grey, The fixtures despite that this hotel only opened in 2003 are already old and in a worse condition than its counterparts in the area who been there for a lot longer. The curtain rails were broken. Bathroom floor was stained. The finishings were poor. The curtains in our room were old and dirty. WIFI was only available in some common areas. It has great potential to be superb especially as the location is really beautiful but right now they need to upgrade their look and facilities big time. Either that or bring the price point down to match what they currently offer.

The breakfast was ok. The location of the lodge is perfect. Their animal viewing point and the view from the rooms of the watering hole is nice.

Bathrooms were not very clean.

It has a very nice view at the boarder of national, you can see animal from your bed, We saw a group of elephants, The Bathroom was not very clean and it was blocked. there was not enough food variety for dinner and breakfast.

Stayed in August 2023

There were phones in the rooms. If you needed help you had to walk to the reception (not great if it's the middle of the night) or you'd have to call the number online which was busy most times. No TV so bring your own entertainment.

The hotel has scenic views of wildlife both from the terrace and the rooms. There's a good variety of food served and appeals to different palates. The staff always have a smile on and ready to help.

I had a cold shower maybe was a problem with my room. Though was not really cold so it was find.

The staff was super kind and available. I had forgotten my phone charger and adapter in the room and the staff was so kind to send it to me in Nairobi. The location is also very great with elephants roaming in the front park area.

Food: breakfast and dinner very ordinary

Food was very poor

Stayed in January 2023

When I called the hotel for direction the femal staff who picked the call was rude, and unclear. She was not professional. Lunch was delayed: We needed to leave right after lunch for other connections. They said that lunch would be served at 12pm sharp and even prevented us from sitting in the dining room area before 12pm, but they were slow in placing food in the buffet area for more than 20 minutes. It would be great if they kept the same dinning time that they impose on the visitors. Mosquito net was torn

I liked the fact that it's at the border of Tsavo East

Stayed in December 2022

The hotel isn't easily accessible. I tried to use Google maps but got lost along the way.

The staff are soooo friendly and helpful!!!! The room was large and the bed was comfortable. It was great for a one night stay.

Stayed in October 2022

The camp is difficult to access and Google maps directed us into a dead-end

The Waterhole close to the terrace is amazing

Poor WiFi

It could have been better

Stayed in November 2021

Absolutely terrible, old and not refurbished, dirty, absurdly huge hotel. Although it is located at the waterhole, there are no animals coming to it (it seems that the animals avoid this hotel as humans should). Incredible number of flying insects, which would be considered just as a natural phenomenon if they had good mosquito nets without gaps.

Nice huge territory at the border of the national park. Nice helpful stuff.

Great views

as above

the hotel staff are untrained and we were allocated a room that was not cleaned. breakfast is scanty and disappointing apart from elephants.. they have made no effort towards making guests feel and experienece comfort

Stayed in August 2023

room was amazing. very clean very cosy with a view directly on the waterhole and elefants. Also Loved the game drive with James. he new a lot about the wildlife

Stayed in March 2023

Lots of ants in the room, but that is to be expected when you're in a lodge. Also, some guests were very loud and fighting when the elephants were near. The breakfast was OK. Nothing too special. Some fruits, some egg, etc... Didn't think much of it.

Amazing view. Elephants that are almost within hand reach. Very magical experience to be there. They have some beautiful gardens around and the staff is friendly.
