The hotel, staff and surrounding parks were fantastic esp in Samburu National Reserve, lots to see, the rooms were absolutely awesome, food delightful, and the bush dinners rocked. I would absolutely recommend it especially for those looking for a getaway from it all. A heads up, if you drink exotic/rare... More

What a wonderful resort in a lovely location - we spent a couple of nights here while on safari and had a very memorable time. The food was very good as were the facilities and service - and of course the wild life was fantastic. We look forward to our next visit!

Myself and my husband stayed at the Sarova Shaba Lodge in February 2013. We believe our stay was a little unusual due to the fact we stayed there for 13 nights, while the majority of people use the hotel for a few nights while they are out on safari. After reading all the comments about the hotel we can only... More
