    Maintenance should be improved, shower water get stocked, towels are passé, and doors not locking properly.

    Very gentle staff taking care of the resort on the edge of the Tsavo national park. Tasty food, even if Iwould improve presentation.

    The signposting to get there was virtually non existent, Google maps couldn't find it either The evening meals could have been better.

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful The tents and facilities were very good and it's location on the Tsavo East perimeter was great, allowing game viewing from your veranda while sitting in you private dip pool.

    We had a wonderful 5 day stay. The tents are very spacious and clean. The private pool invites you to relax after a game drive. The food is excellent. Carol and her team are very friendly and accommodating. We could not have stayed better!!!

    We had a few baboon invasions - staff were quick to come help with slingshots! But little to be done apart from not leave doors open!

    The staff were amazing - Abu on reception was so friendly and attentive, he really made the trip extra special. The guys behind the bar were brilliant too - very friendly, chatty and helpful. The service was excellent and makes all the difference. The room was perfect - views out over the park right beside a private plunge pool and felt private even despite being close to the reception area. You could see animals, elephants and a huge herd of buffalo passed right by the rooms and the main bar area - incredible experience. The food was good. We arranged massages and drives and nothing was too much of a problem. It was such a relaxing stay. We went across to Voi to watch animals at the waterhole also which was great and just a couple of minutes walk down the path. I will definitely be back and would recommend Manyatta for sure!

    Maybe the management should spend a little money to replace the toilet flushing mechanism. The technical lifetime expired already some time ago..

    The hospitality of the staff is outstanding. The view from our tent is incredible; elephants walk by while you sit on your private terrace or have dinner at the restaurant. Good bed, clean swimming pool, very nice room. Good food.

    This lodge is the smaller ‘sister’ to Voi Wildlife Lodge, and is a more intimate rustic lodge. We loved it! The private pools off each room are a winner. Imagine cooling off in your pristine private infinity pool while watching wildlife go by- including elephants. The gardens are beautiful, the staff professional and friendly, and the location superb for being just outside the fence of the largest park in Kenya. The food exceeded our expectations with a delicious and different set of dishes for every buffet meal. Compliments to the chef! The rooms are rustic, but fully furnished with mosquito nets, fans and efficient showers. The pool and pool deck are what make the rooms special. We were extremely comfortable, even in the heat of April. The SGR train station is only 10 minutes by car, making this a wonderful stopping off point on the Nairobi- Mombasa train line.

    The food could be slightly better,but for the price we paid,we couldnt really expect better. Ideally there should be a no music policy after 22:00 since some people come there to watch animals,and when your neighbour has a party with loud music it could make the wild experience a bit bad.

    Great and friendly service Perfect location to see wild animals from the comfort of your pool Great price value Loved the receptionists and security guard at the entrance.

    We did not like having to pay for water. In full-board we expected water to be complimentary. There is no where near to buy water, so you are trapped to buy it from the restaurant. The water isn't too expensive but, on principle, we were not happy about this. Also, our room did not have a view that was as good as the rooms on the other side - I don't know how they decide who goes in each room?

    The location and views of the animals from the restaurant were incredible. We couldn't believe the animals we saw just walking by as we sat ate. Being so close to the Game Park entrance is also a bonus. Some of the rooms have amazing views as well. We liked the endless coffees and the staff are really helpful and kind. The plunge pool with the rooms are brilliant for kids, and the rooms are great size.

    Water in room provided but couldn’t open the water though as no bottle opener in the room. Would have used the key but then would have been dark as lights go off as soon as it’s pulled out. Couldn’t fault anything else.

    Where do I start! The views are amazing, rooms clean with tea, coffee, water and toiletries. staff are friendly and efficient. Given your in Individual bungalows they some how manage to make it feel like home. Very welcoming, efficient and polite staff. it gives an experience like no other with animals walking past your room and the restaurant whilst your eating your dinner. The sound of lions and elephants in the far and cutest monkeys walking along your path to and from your accommodation. Normally with this inclusive food it’s not that nice but the food was very tasty and had many options. I don’t like to go to the same place twice but I will most definitely be back with the family.

    the tents were lovely and basic with an amazing pool next to the river where elephant grazed outside. the hotel attached by a short walk sits on the best watering hole in tsavo and the herds of elephant and birds and all wildlife were incredible and close enough to touch. it was a once in a life time experience.

    absolutely nothing

    sometimes you come across a gem. it's three star and that's what it is. but the location for me was beyond perfect. I went after a week's hard charity work to rest but also to see my orphan at the David Sheldrick Voi Reintegration unit. sitting relaxing all day watching elephant and many other species coming to drink at the waterhole was bliss. the hotel is right next to the park as was my tent. the small exclusive infinity pool in front of the tent was the cherry on the cake. The DSWT unit is less than 15 minutes drive away so the venue is perfect for that too. I will go back!
