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.

This is the lodge on the property of Tsavo West national park (safari). It is of the high quality accommodation with an opportunity to see the wild life and game directly from the room's balcony and the terrace of the restaurant. Two water holes attract various species such as zebras, giraffes, antilopes, elephants and water buffaloes. Having a breakfast with a view of the mountains and the flat bush country with the wild life/game in it is what we came to Kenya for. We were able to arrange game drives directly from the lodge - they have a whole fleet of jeeps specifically designed to accommodate rough conditions of safari terrain. Our guide William is the professional naturalist with an encyclopedic knowledge of the safari life. There wasn't a single question that he didn't give an exhaustive answer to. Since the property is located in the national park we had to enter the park no later than 6 pm. We were driving from the southern resort in Diani Beach on the very congested road and could only get to the park at the midnight. We contacted the lodge and the service agent by the name Dorkas made all the arrangements for ranger if the park to open the gates and finally check us in at 1 am.

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.

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!

Outstanding location, service and comfort

We had three nights in this lovely hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed watching wildlife around the waterhole from the lodge. Staff were all fantastic, meals were great, game drives nearby were enjoyable. Highly recommend spending time here. We are birders and biologists so like watching the little things but we also enjoyed having a herd of elephants come by!

Fantastic view over wilderness

We stayed 3 nights in a suite. We would definitely return. Fantastic view. The resort is perched on higher ground and overlooks a vast area of hills. You see no signs of civilization, only wilderness. On a clear day you can see Mt Kilimangero. The resort overlooks 2 waterholes which are lit up at night. All kinds of animals come and go to drink and bathe. We would sit and eat in the restaurant and watch as small herds of elephants came with their babies and bathed and drank in the water. Zebras and buffalo would wait their turn to drink until after the elephants left. we saw hyenas, giraffe, antelope, warthogs come to drink. Because of the big expanse of view, with binoculars you can see animals coming in from a fair distance away. We were satisfied with the room. it was clean. Furniture is basic. Resort is a bit older property. I used the spa services which were good. Food choice and quality was good but not great. We rented an AWD vehicle and did our own safari drives in the park. Travo West NP not so busy as other parks so sometimes it felt like we had the park to ourselves. Really you could see all the same animals as seen on safari if you patiently waited and watched from the resort view.

Very nice and helpful staff.

The staff is very helpful and informative. The food is served mostly as buffets with a wide selection. The view of the water holes is great at all times. The room was larger than the average lodge with a sitting area.
