Had a horrible time, the premises in a good location but bad management, very boring, and the place has no ambience, the style is now outdated, and just cold at night, food is bad and bland, i would not recommend, staying there for 31k and some change, why waste your money. ? dont bother.

Was in the neighborhood visiting family. However, the ambiance and freshness reminded my sister the old Kenya where trees were preserved. A very beautiful place to be. The clear road and indications to Kika inside a forest cover are well placed I will definitely make a visit back and see for myself and possibly sleep.

Rooms are luxurious, the staff are accommodating to guest requests and the environment is beautiful. The drive up to the lodge is difficult as it is a steep uphill climb with multiple bumps but other than that its a super relaxing place especially for couples.

Excellent food, very clean, great service. The rooms are semi tent and semi concrete with a very nice feel and facing a late sunrise over a hill. Accessible with any car easily. Note it has the open concept washroom blend in to the room which is done well but still not for everyone. The immediate area lacks activities and spectacular views for good views but its placed very centrally to all the major rift valley attractions for which hour long drives are needed. The night has an excellent orchestra of animal and insect noises and wind lightly blowing against the tent. Excellent sleep, bed and furniture all round.
