Lodges in Tsavo

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! The view is absolutely breathtaking and honestly you can’t put a price on seeing wild animals all day, everyday. The lodge oversees a watering hole from the dining area and some of the bedrooms. The watering hole is in close proximity and we saw over 25 wild animals. On top of that the staff are kind, welcoming, and made us feel at home. We would especially like to thank Darcos at reception, Stephen (park range, game drive), and Daniel (restaurant) - they made us feel like family. Our highlights were seeing a cheetah with its kill and a young leopard. We wouldn’t have seen the cheetah but when it was spotted Stephen found us and personally drove us there. We didn’t see a lion this time but it’s just a reason to come back! Thank you we will surely be back.

Best part of this lodge is the staff that works there. From the moment we arrived they did everything they could to make us feel welcomed! We had such a difficult time getting there due to unrelated matters. We arrived late, hadn’t eaten anything all day and we were afraid we would miss dinner. Our way to the lodge was a long dust road. Driving it at night made for a mysterious and adventurous drive. The entrance to the lodge was beautifully lit and upon arrival we were met by the most understanding staff. They prepared a table just for us even if the kitchen was closed. So there we sat, in a dimmed restaurant with buffalos drinking right next to us. We had read some reviews beforehand which mentioned the rooms were outdated which I don’t agree with. The rooms were unique and cozy. Some mentioned the beds were hard. Come on kings and queens, are we here to sleep in or explore the beautiful surroundings? Besides; firm beds are good for you. To us the lodge was absolutely perfect! We had the best time here and grew to, dare I say, even love the staff and the serene atmosphere.

The location, the staff and the food. The tent ,the atmosphere the game drives. Great cocktails too

Superb location with elephants and other animals at a watering hole only a few metres from our tent door. Very comfortable room. Stand out were the staff. I asked for a little birthday surprise for my partner at dinner and they went above and beyond. We'll treasure that memory!

The staff at this hotel were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was absolutely beautiful, much more than we expected! Clean, light and comfortable more than big enough for 3 of us! The pool was warm and clean with loungers and towels. Food was a buffet style with lots to chose from so we were all happy! As we were full board, we took a packed lunch with us on the day we left and that was to the same high standard as dinner and breakfast had been in the hotel.

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.
