"Karen Gables review"
Elsa's Kopje
"Elsa's Kopje review"
The rooms were of a very high standard, although they don’t have air conditioning. We had a personal guide who took us on our drives. He seemed to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of birds, animals and plants, which he must have accrued over many years.
We also had a personal waiter who was extremely good in making sure we had food when we wanted it.
The food standard was the highest quality we have experienced on a safari."

The Cliff
"The Cliff review"
The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The food was of a very good standard and we enjoyed staying there.
The room was very large and well appointed.
There is no air conditioning but given the altitude it is not needed."

Severin Safari Camp
"Severin Safari Camp review"
It was a busy place, felt a bit impersonal with quite a long walk to our room. The room didn’t have a view over any of the water holes, and the sightings of wildlife from the lodge were disappointing.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We felt that the Camp was a bit mercenary with charging more than other lodges for activities and drinks."

Satao Camp
"Satao Camp review"
The tent we had was excellent with good facilities and a great location with an unimpeded view of the waterhole, which was partially lit at night. The amount of animal and bird activity in and around camp was superb.
The food was buffet style, which we enjoyed and was of a good quality. We loved the relaxed feel of the camp and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."

Four Points Nairobi Airport
"Four Points Nairobi Airport review"
Standards were very high and the staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our stay here."
The hotel had the feeling of a colonial period house. We had a very comfortable room with good air conditioning.
The service was excellent and the meals were of a good quality."
