Ikweta Safari Camp

We stayed two nights as a family having one double bed tent which was very spacious and a family tent with three beds which was with all the luggage inside rather small. We stayed in many lodges before and in this one it seems they rest on the fact they got so many awards: - WiFi didn’t work properly - no water pressure (didn’t wash our hair as women with long hair because this wouldn’t have worked to get the soap out) - didn’t get into pool because water seemed dirty - food coming different times, especially for breakfast your pre- ordered choices come so late you’re not even hungry anymore; in general rather uncoordinated service What wasn’t a problem for us are the many cats, even though if you have an allergy this could be a serious problem. The team was also very nice. We had a really good sleep because of the air coming into the tents during night. Please don’t stop trying to maintain good quality in your lodge even though you’re highly awarded. When you hear about this you expect a lot more and sadly this is why we was so disappointed!

My partner and I stayed at the Ikweta Safari Camp in order to go to Meru Game Park. We loved everything about Ikweta. We stayed in many excellent lodges over the two months we were in Kenya and Ikweta was our favorite. The food was delicious, the service and services excellent and the accommodations were charming and comfortable and just what we wanted. The lodge is tastefully decorated which was important to us. Susan and John who created Ikweta were lovely, coming around every evening to chat with the guests, which we found very special. We self drove a jeep and Ikweta arranged for us to hire a ranger to guide us through Meru. Ruth was our guide and she was great. We saw rhinos and many other animals with her for two days. We liked Ikweta so much we tried to stay a third night but unfortunately it was booked.

Great base from which to enjoy Meru National Park. Very friendly and efficient staff. Great food. Delightful and comfortable tents. Beautiful swimming pool and grounds. Good to see the fruit growing in their gardens and other steps taken to reduce their/our environmental impact. location is just outside the reserve which helps keep the reserve undeveloped and wild but allows early game drives.

An excellent place with friendly staff and an option to go on a game drive in Meru national park. The camp is far away with bad roads, but itself fantastic.

Visited here as independent travellers. Very close to the excellent and less visited Meru national park. Great site overall with really great variety of vegetation, pleasant to just sit out at night. Great friendly, helpful and cheerful staff, all professional and well trained. Food was very good though a little bland for my vegetarian wife. Tent was excellent, no issues at all. Some hotels play the environmental card as a way of saving money. Ikweta claims to be an eco camp and they really live it around the site. Genuine environmentally friendly location. Loved our time here and thoroughly recommend.

Very good service, the staff is Very friendly and hjelpsomme. They serve exelent food and have a good version of food. Spacious rooms and the place have everything you need
