Wifi did not work most of the time. Some of the staff were little less motivated than others.

The place was great, perfect service, tasteful, good food. Excellent driver and management. Nice spa, incredible massage. Lots of different activities. Perfect value for money.

Food was very expensive and we always had to take a whole 4 course menu, communication between the stuff members was lacking (we had to confirm the same thing multiple times with different people)

Perfect spot in the park, very cosy at the main camp, great night game drive

some shower renovation in the tents maybe?

We spent 4 wonderful days in this hotel. It was a brilliant place to rest after the earlier safari. We stayed in a tent which was very well decorated. We liked very large beds. The camp is extremely quiet, wild animals ( elephants, zebras ect.)approached the tents and the restaurant almost every day! There is no fence, but it is very well protected. Very good food, which is not so common in this type of places. Bravo to the cook! The entire team is extremely nice and helpful! Very nice swimming pool. We really recommend this place, specially that is not very very expansive:))

The price of the stay DOES NOT INCLUDE quite expensive national park fees. We had 2 nights and need to pay over 200 USD additionally for the national park fees…

It was extremely beautiful location, maybe it was just bit too long drive from the national park gate to the property, but it was worth it! Pure nature! No screens, no other sounds. Just meet the nature!

Many mosquitoes at the Bandas and windows without mosquito nets.

We stayed in the less luxurious but cheaper Bandas and that was excellent choice. We had Giraffes walking 3 m from our terrace. The kitchen had all needed for self catering, including a fridge. The dinner at the lodge (not included) was exceptional. The pool (included) was a heaven after a long Safari day.

Booking.com did not mention that we would not be in the camp but 5 mn away by car with self-catering. Fortunately, there were available tents and the staff arranged a stay at the camp, but it costed double the initial price, which was not expected.

The location, the spa/swimming pool, the kindness of the staff

We have stayed there before and will always return when in Tsavo West. The best is the use of the swimming pool and the bonfire in front of the house at night while using the small kitchen to prepare a warm meal!!!!

Kitani bandas location and convenience

Stayed in November 2023

We stayed in the self-catering Kitani Bandas (cottages), from where we had to drive to the main lodge to make use of its facilities.

Nice lodge serving excellent (but expensive) food.

Stayed in October 2023

The Bandas are in a different, non-walkable location from the main lodge. That wasn't clear from the booking page. Breakfast wasn't a buffet and needed to be ordered; it took forever to be served (almost 1 hour).

Nice lodge and bandas located in the middle of the wilderness (the view is a bit limited though). Great staff who treated us very fairly (one of us was sick and was served a minimal breakfast without being charged).

Lack of electricity throughout the night ( my husband sleeps with a CPAP machine).

Location, good taste on furniture, good food, friendly staff, great views.

We loved the location being inside the Park, and being surrounded by wildlife and nature. Cosmos was an excellent help, telling us about things we could see.

Nothing, I will repeat this experience. Thank you!

We stayed at the Kitani Bandas and were happy we did! We were expecting a lot of insects or mosquitoes but there were none and we spent great nights there, enjoying our fire pit and hearing hyenas. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchenware, including coffee pot, were all new.

We were in the bandas (self catering, although we mainly ate in the restaurant) and we had the feeling these were a bit treated like the 'stepchildren': we didn't have warm water during our 2-day stay ("technical issues"), WiFi was rather patchy and the 'cleaner' was not very pro-active (or active, for that matter 🤭). But all in all these were minor hiccups that are quickly forgotten.

Location is amazing. The game drives were among the best of the six safaris we have done in Africa. The lodge is beautiful (dining area, swimming pool). The food (set menu with some options) is OK but not spectacular. Very good driver/guide (Mohammed), staff at reception is helpful.
