Manyatta Camp
Ranked in Best Safari Lodges in Tsavo
About
Your tented room has a plunge pool facing Tsavo where elephants, zebras, and waterbucks stroll past while you swim. Mercy at the cafeteria serves you brilliantly, the location is right at the park gate, and you can spot bush babies at night. Some tents are in better shape than others, so check before settling in.

Absolute run down place the tents are not closed and have holes as well as the mosquito nets ! The toilet smells like the worst sewage and there is dirt and lizards all over the room! Wanted to take a shower in the morning but there was not enough water left ! The food was ok ( the only positive) ! The private pools are really dirty after asking for them to clean it no one showed up!

Manyatta Camp is fantastic. From the location, next to the Tsavo’s gate with wild animals roaming in front of the tent, to the staff, kind and attentive. They warmly satisfied our requests and even helped us to solve some issues we had with the train ride. We are a family of four with a young daughter and an older son. The tent fit perfectly. The food was delicious with plenty of vegetarian and local options. We took their offer of a full day game drive, and it was one of the best experience ever done. Tsavo has an animal density that we did not expect and our guide, Jackan, went the extra mile to spot the animals we wished to see. Both the camp and the game drive were outstanding and offered excellent value for the money spent. We vividly recommend it.

This is one of the best places I've stayed at. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. But the unbeatable highlight was the location. To be able to sit on your verandah or swim in your pool and watch wildlife such as elephants, zebra and waterbuck stroll by is just incredible. The room was very nice and clean. The mattress in my room could've used a bit of an upgrade to fit the rest of the place but it was ok. The mosquito net was prepped during turn down service and didn't have any holes (not a given in many places sadly). Having said that, I understand why they spray against mosquitos but it did concern me a bit that they would do that in such a precious natural environment. I'd prefer the other recommended actions against mosquitos rather than the pollution of spraying. Great they use water bottles and not plastic for complimentary water. The food is buffet style, I liked that they served ugali and greens on one evening so that you can eat some local food as well. I would've loved some fresh juices without sugar on the lunch & dinner menu. The view from the restaurant is again amazing and the staff there are lovely too. The team can also arrange game drives on short notice which I really appreciated. Overall, I can't recommend Manyatta camp highly enough. Thank you to all the amazing staff!

Just the place to be in the wild with you own private swimming pool facing the national park. With the best and friendly staff from the cleaner to the manager, special mention to "Mercy" at the cafeteria area served us the best way.

Manyatta Camp is a great place. The tented camps are spacious. You have a plunge pool in your room. The animals come all the way to your room and/or dining area. Was able to spot elephants, water bucks, bee eater birds, bush babies. The staff are warm and welcoming and the food was good. Wish we had more time to stay with you
