I think the bug prevention at meals could be better. Perhaps some sort of moving curtains or something could work.

Excellent location. Lovely staff on the property. I suggest walking safari by the river. Lots of animals to see. Nearby the old station where the lions actually prayed on the people who constructed the bridge. Just a nice place to visit both for a short while or for a longer holiday. Nearby the entrance to Tsavo East and Tsavo West.

family friendly place, we were with 3 children. They were very kind and solved all our requests. They also organized a game drive, which also met our expectations. They have ‘own’ hippo end crocodile in the river.

We loved the location on the river where we could spot hippos, crocodile and monkeys. The lodge is as close to nature as could be. The tented huts were airy and comfortable, staff extremely helpful and friendly.

Limited choice of beer and wine.

Staff was very kind and helpful, location pure fantastic on the river bank. The crocodile Henry was guarding us all the time while staying there :))) Food was great.

The amount of bugs after dark. Really nothing to do about it, but there is a lot of insects this time of year, which did play a part of the overall stay.

Amazing scenery, good seclusion and spacy room. Very sweet staff.

The sight of the new railway line in the distance.

The pool and the walk. The pool beside the rushing rive, cool and relaxing was prefect and the game walk the askari took us on was lovely.

The staff was exceptional Their service is very personalised. I enjoyed seeing wildlife right outside my tent. The food was fresh and well done. I love the menu. The pool is very clean.

Stayed in November 2023

We were rather disappointed with the quality and variety of the food, and not impressed by the build quality of our tent (tin roof, poorly fitting doors).

Attractive main building with a nice pool and comfortable tents. Very helpful staff. There was potential to see wildlife coming down to the river (but nothing much appeared).

There wasn't anything that I didn't like. I came to work and had my own wi-fi hotspot.

It was peaceful. The staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the verandah overlooking the Tsavo River. The setting is both historic and beautiful.

the food was delicious and fresh, but a bit more variety would be good. anyway, you will not leave hungry, and everything was very tasty!

The Maneaters Camp is a special place to stay, because of the story behind it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_Man-Eaters) additionally to the wonderful camp that it is. It is very clean, the staff is wonderfully friendly, the rooms are big, extremely clean, the sheets, pillows and the towels are clean and good quality (i am particular about that). very comfy beds and a nice balcony at the back, with comfy chairs and even sunbeds. The staff went out of their way to help and advise - extremely helpful! there is a pool area, clean pool and excellent place to stay outside in the evening. The camp is not very big, which is GREAT, so good in comparison to other big mass tourism camps. A breath of fresh air. I wholeheartedly recommend going there!

Location and set up

The nearest Tsavo gate doesn't admit visitors, only lets them out; you have to go down to Voi a 45 minute drive to enter, UNLESS you pre book your entry.

Food was well cooked and plenty of it. Well stocked bar. Rooms (tents) are large and airy, comfortable with separate shower and toilet. WE had a packed lunch for our dat out in Tsavo

nothing everything was great.

We loved this place and would definitely come back! the staff was super helpful, and Beatrice and Simon made sure, we had everything we needed. the security guard Johnston gave us a tour of the place, which was great. the “tent” was big and well equipped and the view from there and the main pool area was outstanding.

Stayed in January 2023

We enjoyed the down to earth approach. The tents close to the river are nice. Finding the place is not easy, the sign is quite small. Food is simple but good, and the staff are definitely a big plus for the experience.

We have returned from a stay at Man Eaters Camp & would absolutely recommend staying here. This camp is perfect as a half way stop on your way to the coast aswell as being a great Safari base. The camp is easy to find and takes you through the original Man Eaters Camp on the railroad & you can visit a museum full of images and artefacts when you reach the main camp. The location is wonderful. Situated on the Tsavo River it is abundant with wildlife and really immerses you in the environment. The location couldn't be better! The accommodation is great, you sleep near the River in a luxury tent with the sounds of wildlife to sleep and wake with. Plenty of hot water and a very big, clean & comfortable bed. The tent is super spacious and there is a balcony with lounge chairs to relax on and watch the Hippo bathing in the water below! We opted for dinner & breakfast meals which were buffet style and very tasty. There was plenty of choice to eat and the setting of the restaurant was wonderful. There was a live singer in the evening which really made the evening feel very special. The Staff were exceptional, very kind and welcoming. Phestas welcomed us and made the check in process really quick and easy, he was very knowledgeable about the camp history. Nicodemus showed us around our accommodation and made great jokes with us about the local crocodile! We were escorted at night by Johnstone back to our tent who assured us he would be available all evening ensuring all the guests were safe and comfortable in their accommodation. The facilities are fantastic, there is plenty to do inbetween Safaris, a lovely pool & bar area along with T.V & recreational activities. A really wonderful stay, thank you and we hope to visit again!

As you can tell by the name Man-eaters is at the location of the famous man eating lions. See the film The Ghost and The Darkness and then go and stay where it happened. The position is awesome with the river at the back of the rooms and wild animals free to roam. There is a slight blight with a new railway that can be seen by some of the rooms in the distance but that is a small price to pay for the being at the 'stage' of the man eaters of Tsavo. We went on a history walk with Nico which was brilliant -even showing us some forgotten victims graves and there is a museum about the events. The complex is in the Tsavo East park but does not have direct access to the rest of the park ( they should work on this) . Saying this it is a perfect stop between Nairobi and the coast and perfect for being near the parks. All the staff were great and Beatrice on the front desk made sure our last day in Kenya was perfect.- thank you. To be honest I am surprised some film buff hasn't bought this place and made more of the Hollywood connection. I can thoroughly recommend staying here but do watch the film first.
