Magical
This place is amazing, enchanting and magical. I saw everything except a leopard, hippo and rhino. I felt like I was in a movie! The experience surpasses your expectations, lots of value for your money. I met a great tour guide in Mombasa that drove me there and was attentative, informative and professional. His name is Peter Tolle +254 725 220013 and he is ready to do the same for others. You can mention my name (Leslie) for extra perks :).

It was a fantastic holiday..I had a chance to see all the wild animals around the hotel..the staff was friendly, rooms were clean, the hotel has a spectacular view to observe the wild animals.But the most annoying thing we were asked to pay the parking fee. Parking fee isn’t mentioned anywhere while booking.

This is an amazing destination, especially since it was designed in 1964 and yet has a timeless feel of both unique and functional appeal. All that said the friendly staff was the BEST! We love you Kenyans

Come once and expect a return visit.
Facility, staff, and overall location was divine. Staff always with a smile and customer service beyond this world. Maintenance of the facilities seemed to be a priority as well. The food was always delicious. The views were better than lion king movie. Amazing

Animals at your doorstep!!
This place is AMAZING! You don’t even need to go on a safari all the animals come to you and drink from the watering hole at the hotel!!! You can spend your whole day watching them or go on a safari and see all the others all right in the park! Very cool place! Only thing would be better if it was all- inclusive as only got a bottle of water in room and no where else to get it.

Beautiful scenery
Beautiful scenery very friendly and helpful staff. But very expensive for what they offer. All inclusive but we still have to pay extra for the drinks regardless of whether it was alcoholic or not.

Well Worth The Drive
The experience was better than anticipated. We hired a car and drove from Mombasa which allowed us to drive around the sanctuary at will. It wasn’t long before we met a herd of zebras and thereafter animals were to be found around every turn. The organised game drive was also fantastic experience; it was possible to get very close to the wildlife including elephants. Each day buffalo and elephants came to drink at the hotel’s waterhole which when viewed from the hotel’s underground hide made for some spectacular photos.

Experiência incrível!
Eu e o meu esposo nos hospedamos por três noites. Foi uma experiencia incrível! Tudo lindo, limpo, a comida deliciosa e a experiência de ver os animais de perto é demais!! A equipe de funcionários super simpática e atenciosa. Quero validar principalmente o time da cozinha tanto os chefes quanto os garçons. Não consegui pegar o nome de todos, mas gratidão mais uma vez Patterson, Harrison, Isaac, Zedrick, Crescencia, Fred, Ali, James, segurança Grace e parceiro, motoristas Nicodemos e Mjomba.

Lodge liegt wunderschön im Nationalpark Taita Hills, doch leider waren nicht sehr viele Tiere beim Wasserloch zu sehen, da es erst kurz davor geregnet hat im anderen Teil des Parks!
