Cabins in Tsavo

The location was exquisite, just in front of a water hole, where animals come all day (and night) to drink water. It was the best hotel we stayed during our safari, with big rooms and comfortable beds, overlooking the water hole (some rooms, at least). Best lobby and bar/restaurant as well, also overlooking the water hole. Tsavo West is very scenic but it’s a bit difficult to spot animals because of the dense bush forest, however you can spot them at the hotel/water hole.

A magical hotel along the river, where wildlife is an integral part of the experience – elephants, impalas, crocodiles, hippos, monkeys, and on rare occasions, even lions have been spotted just outside the cottages. The staff, from the reception to the security guards, are both professional and incredibly hospitable. In particular, the hotel manager, Festes Mbeva, is the most humble and welcoming person I have ever met. Cooling off in the pool after a safari trip and relaxing in the shade while the cool breeze offers relief on a hot afternoon is an experience I will never forget. The rooms are of excellent quality, and both breakfast and dinner were delightful. We decided to extend our stay by another night, and I’m already looking forward to coming back in two years.

What can we say to praise Ashnil Aruba sufficiently! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome, our tent was immaculately clean, cool and comfortable with excellent bathroom and storage, a comfortable bed and a view beyond all expectations. The full board option was far beyond what we had expected for the price, so many delicious options to choose from for each meal. The location and site in the heart of Tsavo East are indescribable, the views are wonderful and the pool is a lovely surprise addition - we even watched elephants, zebra and gazelle while we were in the pool! The staff at the lodge are such a delight, every single member of the team was so kind and friendly as well as being very professional. Their service and dedication really made us feel welcome and well looked after for the whole of our stay. Thank you so much for the perfect safari stay, we loved every minute.

Sentrim Tsavo East Camp is a great place to stay, perfectly located in the heart of Tsavo East National Park. Surrounded by lush greenery, the camp blends beautifully with nature, offering a truly immersive safari experience. One of the highlights is the watering hole, which attracts elephants, giraffes, zebras, birds, and other wildlife—easily observed right from the dining area. The tents are spacious and comfortable, featuring well-equipped bathrooms. The swimming pool provides a refreshing escape after game drives. The service was outstanding, with a warm and attentive team ensuring a great stay. The food selection was diverse and delicious, including a taste of authentic Kenyan specialties. At night, the experience becomes even more magical as you can clearly hear lions roaring nearby, adding to the wild and thrilling atmosphere. The staff was focused on safety, making sure everyone was okay after dark given the proximity of predators outside the camp. Tip: Enjoy a drink by the pool and indulge in a massage for the perfect way to relax between safari adventures!

Super friendly staff! Really comfortable beds. I'm not usually a friend of buffets, but the food here was good. Beautiful location, too.

Everything was amazing… from check in, rooms, service, food …. And the most important the views by the lake with all the animals . Just love it! Totally recommend!
