Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

We arrived at the lodge about 1 hr late as scheduled after a 7 hrs drive from Nairobi, but Vincent (at the reception) received us much warmly. But before visiting our room, we were ushered to the restaurant where Stephen was waiting for us with our (late)-lunch, specially reserved for us. This hospitality accompanied us during our whole stay at the hotel - but sadly only for two nights. The rooms were clean and comfortable; the mosquito net proved to be more than essential. The food was very good and the staff very friendly. We would like to pass our personal thanks to: - Vincent for the warm reception - Stephen for taking care of our food and soul needs at the restaurant (how we miss your conversations :-) ) - Mercy, Lucia, Moses, Elijah and Allan (at the grill) for their prompt service during meals - Kaloki for organizing our luggage on arrival and departure - Julius and Adan for accompanying us in the evening while looking for the most appropriate star-gazing sites - Catherine at the gate for her friendly smile whenever we left or entered the premises. And of course, our special appreciation goes to the whole Sarova Team who we may have not named here explicitly or met personally, who however - directly and indirectly - contributed to make our stay rememberable. PS: you have a perfect location for star-gazing with no light pollution. Maybe you could find a nice location on the site to install a platform specially just for this :-) Thomas and Catherine

Sincere thanks to Chef Robert and Chef Farida for their exceptional food service during our stay around May 20-23, 2025 at Sarova Shaba Game Lodge. Every meal was a delightful experience—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and consistently served with genuine warmth and care. Their attention to detail and hospitality made dining a true pleasure throughout our stay. Best, Christine

I enjoyed the hospitality, large bed size and also an exemptional service,from Elijah lekoomet trainee Advisor very warmly and ready to assist guy... Will definately come back, the fish foot massage epic moments to be forever cherised..

We stayed here for three nights to visit Buffalo Springs and Shaba reserves. Our rooms were a distance from reception so they provided a wheelchair for one of our party with mobility problems. The rooms were lovely with comfortable beds and a great shower. The grounds are well kept and all rooms face the river where elephants come to drink. All the staff were so kind and lovely. The food was plentiful and excellent. One if us has a garlic allergy and the chef Stephen went out of his way to cook specially for him, even down to the soup! He's a star. On our last night it was my brother and sister in laws golden wedding. They made a lovely cake and all the kitchen staff brought it out singing and dancing to them. They made it very special. We have nothing negative to say about this place. If you go - do try the fish foot spa! It's an experience in itself!
