Excellent Lodge
Incredible safari lodge with a water hole out back to attract animals. Beautiful rooms, a gorgeous restaurant and bar area, top notch service and food, and plenty of history to boot. They even washed my car for me overnight!

Tsavo West slice of heaven
The stay was incredible! As you walk into the reception area you will be shocked by the view. The eating area is an open air area that has the most incredible view and is situated around the watering hole so that you can watch the animals approach as you eat. The service was incredible and the food amazing. The rooms were nice as well. The only issue with the room is that the fan is not above the bed and the nights were HOT. This, sadly is the issue I could find with the place. It was the most amazing place, but I found it hard to sleep while so hot.

nice hotel with amaizing view
The Lodge with that view is just amaizingly good. Food was OK, drinks very expensive. Breackfast was only english standard. Service was most of the time good and always very friendly. - just few little things could be improved: One could offer binoculars to borrow - this would make the expereance of that view even better. Unfortunately nobode was able to inform us about the highlights / places to visit in the Nationalpark. But still: the hotel is great, people are very friendly.

Nydelig sted med fantastisk utsikt, vannhull rett under spiseterrassen der dyrene samler seg i tur og orden - en opplevelse verdt reisen i seg selv. Komfortable rom, utsøkt mat med rikelig utvalg, plettfri service. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Wonderful and Affordable Safari Lodge In Kenya
What took my breath away were the two watering holes directly behind the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge. I was able to see animals drinking at the watering holes from the patio of my room. Herds of elephants, giraffes, Buffalo, hyena and many more drink from the watering holes at all hours of the day. There are lights for night time viewing. You can also see the animals at watering holes from the open air restaurant while you dine. The cuisine is buffet style and delicious! Meals were included in the price of the room. The game drives were in the morning, and in the evening, and very reasonably priced. But what made this visit something I will never forget are the people who work there. Everyone was patient, kind, sincere, happy and warm. They really made me feel at home. Thanks!

Wir waren zum wiederholten Mal da und der Service, die Sauberkeit, das Essen und die Lage sind sehr gut! Die Lodge ist sehr alt, wird aber bestens gepflegt und bietet daher eine Oase nach den gamedrives. Am Wasserloch, auf das man einen tollen Blick hat, tummeln sich die Tiere, so dass man (fast) gar nicht auf Tour gehen müsste. Wir empfehlen die Lodge sehr gerne weiter!
