About

Excellent food in a national park setting where wild animals roam right outside the windows — the location and atmosphere truly set it apart. Book ahead as it's small, and ask for the wildlife view, though breakfast prices can feel steep.

    Super nice atmosphere with all the animals running around. Just had drinks but can really recommend the horse back tour on the premises.

    If you're camping, Kijiko is the place to eat! It's a nice, small place, so be sure to book in advance. The food is great. The best part, though, is the view of the wild animals. Don't forget to ask for a ride back to your tents at night to avoid hippos...

    Look fam, we just want so breakfast. The fancy breakfast that is over priced hurts our souls. The view is gorgeous and the ample wildlife is amazing but it is hard to swallow when the ice tea with lemon tastes like lemon water. The waffles came without syrup too... so that was a major bummer. Just not impressed with over priced boogie spots personally. Also, heads up, flies and a random farm dog are in the building. Tons of flies.

    Really enjoyed both lunch and dinner at Kijiko. The food is excellent, but what truly sets this place apart is the location and atmosphere. It feels like you're sitting in the middle of a national park, completely surrounded by nature with no development in sight. Would highly recommend this place to anyone

    One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited and I can’t wait to go back. The food was incredible, the views were breathtaking with animals casually roaming the grounds, and the guided walk around the sanctuary farm was such a special experience. I loved every bit of it.
