Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

Luxury and above all expectations Elephant was at the gate! Crocodile sunbathing. Personnel was so kind! Food very well.

Our stay at Shaba was great. The food was truly amazing. Chef Raphael and the entire staff, from our waiter to the kitchen crew, was attentive and professional, making for a truly memorable experience.

Had a fabulous time here. Everything including the game drive, the lodge facilities and food felt special. Special thanks to Richard, Collins, Moses and the whole team for going above and beyond.

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
