Wow! That’s exactly what we said when we walked in and saw the view — absolutely breathtaking! This was one of the most incredible places we’ve ever stayed. We spent one night here in July as part of our trip and truly wish we could of had more time here. Everything about it was incredible — the staff were amazing, the food was delicious, and the view from the restaurant and bar was simply magical. We saw giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and elephants at the waterhole — it felt like a dream. From our bedroom terrace, we even spotted dik-diks and hyenas wandering below! We stayed up extra late that night because we didn’t want to miss a thing. Our room was fantastic, and had an an amazing view. Highly, highly recommend this truly an unforgettable place!

The location is absolutely breathtaking, set in Tsavo West with wide views of Mount Kilimanjaro and a waterhole where elephants and buffaloes gathered daily. Watching them from my balcony was truly special. My room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I enjoyed the peaceful pool area and loved dining while taking in the open plains. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and served with care. A big thank you to Lillian, whose warm and attentive service made each meal feel personal. Wilson, the lodge manager, was always around, checking in and making sure everyone felt at home. And Ziyaan did a fantastic job coordinating everything behind the scenes—his support made the entire trip feel smooth and well-planned. From the game drives bush breakfasts , sundowners and a visit to Maina Springs to quiet moments at the lodge, every part of this experience left a lasting impression. I’d return without hesitation.

Wow, the last 3 nights of our 8 days Safari were spent here. This place is one of the first, if not the first, safari lodges and it has a wonderful charm about it - we treated ourselves to a suite - and wow - the room was just amazing! Overlooking the water holes we were treated to all manner of wonderful animals. The staff were amazing, attentive and could not do enough for you - don't even think about it - you must book the Kilaguni Serena.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights here in August. The view is absolutely breathtaking. We could have spent all day watching the animals at the watering hole. It was a little disappointing that on our last day some work was done to expand the water hole which meant we had the view of a bright yellow digger from the afternoon until we left the next morning. We understand the work had to be done and it’s for the animals but was disappointing nonetheless. The food was good overall. There wasn’t a huge range of choice but enough to create a meal. Our room was beautiful and kept spotless. We loved the balcony and sitting there watching the animals come and go - we actually saw more animals from our balcony at the watering hole than we did on our game drives! I’ve given it 4 stars instead of 5 purely because I have stayed in a more luxurious lodge in the past who offered extra touches.

OMG what an amazing hotel. Staff were so helpful nothing was too much trouble and they couldn't have been more client friendly.... an 11/10. Best bit was the location by a watering hole where we spent hours watching herds of elephants, buffalo,lions, hyenas, zebras, jackals as well as the inevitable monkeys (probably forgotten some others!). Rooms have a balcony to use as well as the lounge and it is lit to both attract the animals but get some amazing photos. I actually cried when I went onto our balcony and saw everything.... just like living in a film, but better!

Amazing place to stay overlooking the waterhole where elephants, Giraffe,Ostrich,zebra,wading birds and too many other animals came to drink water. I could see this from my room and chose not to close the curtains so I could watch from my bed! There was a mosquito net around my bed each night to keep away the critters! My room was spacious and comfortable and kept spotless by friendly staff. There was a lot of choice of food to eat in the restaurant and eggs or pasta was prepared fresh for you. A most magical , authentic place to stay.
