  The staff was super welcoming and friendly! Food was delicious. It‘s a very quiet place and great location to spot hippos.

  Couple of nights spent there camping. A hidden gem off a beaten path. Stunning view of Lake Jipe with the mountains in the back drop. Communication however was a big issue. In the end, what would've been a 5 🌟 review ended up wrecked. Customer service can improve. There is also only one place to set up a camp fire. Very inconveniencing given there were several groups there and such a small space.

  What an absolutely lovely hidden little gem at the end of our beautiful country ��️ Very very friendly and warm-hearted small team of staff! Thanks to them I felt at home almost immediately. 🥹 Food is very delicious and the chef was flexible and accommodated our wishes for very early breakfast so we could depart for game drive as soon as the park opens. Thanks chef 🙏🏽. Jane and her colleagues did a fantastic job in making sure we were always comfortable. The fire captain aka watchman was kind enough to let us know in which direction he heard the lions during the night and where we might find them, and he was right!!!! Rooms are comfortable and very clean. Compound is well kept and groomed. Only thing I would highly recommend them is to build a new viewing platform and make sure Kilimanjaro + the sunset is visible from it. Here are some tips if you wish to travel here: Do not use the first route google maps shows you, which includes driving on tarmac almost all the way to Taveta then turning left off the main road and hitting the Murram road until the you reach the camp. That small 25km will take minimum 1,5 hours to concur due to the condition of the road. And if it has rained then you might aswell forget reaching there unless you’re a very experienced off road driver in a 4WD. Solution = drive to Tsavo West Maktau gate and drive through the park all the way to lake jipe. There’s a park entrance 1-2km from the camp. The roads in the park are highway class compared to that small 25km from main road. Bring a hybrid of Mpesa and Ksh cash to pay for your accommodation. The camp is remotely located for your convenience, kindly assist in making their life a little easier. Or call and ask what they would prefer before arrival. You might experience problems connecting to a Kenyan telcom network due to the vicinity of Tanzania. Open your phone settings and switch off automatic network selection. Then choose your Kenyan network provider from the list. This will force your phone to stay on Kenyan line instead of jumping to the strongest signal. Finally nowerdays park entrance fees are paid through e-citizen. This allows you to buy your tickets by yourself online. Now due to the above mentioned network challenges if you do not want to wake up early only to waste all that time at the park gate waiting for a stable connection so you can buy the tickets then buy them in advance. Just make sure you get the dates and entry gates correct. This can save you much hustle. If you do not have access to e-citizen kindly ask your guide to buy the tickets in advance. Last and not least remember mosquito repellent 🦟

  Truly stunning location, a short walk from the shores of Lake Jipe. Incredibly friendly staff, great food. The highlight was for sure all the birds that flock to the eco-lodge. You could spend an entire afternoon just watching them flitter to and fro. It's about a two hour drive from the entrance to Tsavo West, so you basically get to go on a safari drive on your way to the lodge.
