Wonderful two night stay

We had a wonderful two night stay. The tent/rooms were very large and well decorated. We did have to ask for a hair dryer, but the front desk was able to provide one. The view from our patio included Mount Kilimanjaro both days. This was our favorite place to stay during our 14 day travels through Kenya and Tanzania.

Pictures are a little misleading. Property is in desperate need of renovations... both rooms and common areas. Food was decent but felt more like a mess hall. Our power in our tent failed twice and needed to walk a ways to reception to ask for repairs since there are no phones in room.

We really enjoyed our time here. The view from our room was remarkable, making it memorable. Check in could have been smoother there was a little confusion so it took longer which we wanted to start our game drive and had a short delay. It was fixed quickly, they were accommodating, we are grateful they fixed us a quick lunch which was after their normal hours so we could eat before going into Amboseli NP. The directions given on Orbitz need to be corrected. Part of the confusion we thought we had booked at the wrong property. Which we booked exactly where we wanted to be. A few minute drive to the gate of Amboseli. Perfect location with good staff, beautiful big tents.

The property is extremely attractive and easy to reach with good roads. The game park access is less than two minute drive. The rooms are most pleasing, the food selection was well thought and delicious. The reception was always open and friendly with information on all amenities. We were astonished to receive 4 star service. Mount Kilimanjaro is visible and so is the water hole for animals who come to feed. Will definitely refer our friends and visit soon again. Bravo!

Beautiful camp, set very close to Amboseli NP entry gate. Cottages are spacious and comfortable. Stuff was very polite and helpful. Camp is quite big, so you will need to walk a bit to furthest cottages. We were regularly seeing a lot of elephants from terrace of our cottage. Swimming pool is very nice and spacious. Food was good(buffet for all 3 meals), WiFi was bad, but we didn't need it. Our overall experience was great. Highly recommended!

Sure! Here's an English review based on your input: --- We had a great stay at the lodge. It is very well located, and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The rooms were large, spacious, and overall very quiet. At night, you might spot an impala or zebra roaming nearby, which adds to the safari experience. Guests are always escorted to their rooms by a friendly staff member, which was a nice touch. One thing to note—there were mice on our roof at night, but I suppose that’s part of the safari lifestyle. Despite that, the cleanliness was good, although I always seem to find something wherever I stay! We also appreciated the thoughtful gesture of a lunchbox they prepared for us last-minute, even though we forgot to pre-order it. As for the lack of a TV, it wasn’t missed at all—after all, you don’t come here for television! Overall, a very enjoyable stay, and we’d definitely return.
