Guest Reviews

• Rene (8/5): Great value for money - Nice tents and swimming pool and great food
• Dave (7/5): -
• Aino (8/5): -
• 40380ebe87c57232d9802ba4f6af2861 (6/5): Matig verblijf. Maar te duur in vergelijking met andere accommodaties - Voor 1 overnachting maximum. Het zwembad is een plus. Maar prijs QUALITY overprized We hadden een kamer, maar gezien de werkzaamheden werden we in muffe tenten gestoken. Het eten duurde erg lang vooraleer het klaar was. De pizza’s waren wel heel lekker.
• Maït (8/5): Perfect for affordable short stays in Voi - An affordable option either for a night before catching a train in Voi, or as a base for a cheaper safari experience.. It's 12-min drive from both the SGR station and the Voi gate in Tsavo East. Good breakfast included, surprisingly big pool, rooms clean and comfortable enough. If the dinner buffet doesn't appeal, there are cheaper à la carte options. Bathroom a little dated. Dinner buffet was not very exciting.
• Matthew (7/5): - Friendly and helpful owner and staff. Pleasant environment The matresses on the beds were too soft for my liking
• Wolfgang (6/5): - Pool war sauber, die zeltzimmer waren geräumig. Für kenianische Verhältnisse ordentlich Es war kein Weißwein verfügbar, sie mußten erst einen besorgen. Das Frühstück war überschaubar.
• Benjamin (8/5): Séjour à impala safari lodge - Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à l’Impala Safari Lodge. Tom, le responsable de l’hôtel, a été très sympathique et nous a beaucoup aidés à organiser notre arrivée depuis la gare SGR de Voi ainsi qu’à trouver un guide pour le safari et un taxi. Cela a été très appréciable pour nous. Nous avons également apprécié l’accueil chaleureux de tout le personnel et avons été heureux de rencontrer des personnes si gentilles, notamment Mary, Janette, Jacob et tous les autres dont nous ne connaissons malheureusement pas les prénoms. Le site est très typique et agréable. Nous avons dormi dans un grand appartement comprenant trois chambres, avec un lit double, deux lits de 120 cm et deux lits de 90 cm, ce qui était très confortable pour notre famille. Le confort était au rendez-vous avec la télévision, clim, ventilateurs, bouteilles d'eau et le wifi gratuit. La piscine était très agréable, surtout avec les températures élevées. Les repas étaient très bons, sous forme de buffet chaud et froid, avec un mélange de plats locaux et occidentaux. Nous aurions apprécié une petite musique d’ambiance locale, mais nous avons en revanche passé de bons moments à discuter avec le personnel et avec Tom. En conclusion, nous avons passé un très bon séjour et gardons un bon souvenir de cet endroit. Un petit point d’amélioration concerne les douches : les pommeaux de douche mériteraient d’être réparés ou remplacés.
• Sebastian (8/5): -
• Damian (10/5): - Very fiendly and kind personel, good food, close distance to Tsavo East gate.
• Johann (10/5): - Perfect, very kind Thank you very much Nothing
• dani (7/5): -
• Gedvydas (9/5): -
• Gert (7/5): Zeer redelijke locatie met goede balans kosten, diner verbeteren. - Ruim appartement wel wat gedateerd Zwembad wel te gladde ondergrond en niet optimaal schoon Ontbijt was goed en lunchpakket voor tijdens gamedrive was ook goed Lage prijs eten Het diner: te koud en matige kwaliteit Buffet voor 3 gasten is niet efficient en staat te lang klaar. Advies laat de mensen dan a la carte eten
• bruno (7/5): - Le personnel et la cuisine faite maison qui bien qu’assez simple était très bonne. Nous y avons passé une nuit faisant étape pour Mombasa en venant des parcs. C’est un peu vieillot. Le prix de tout ce qui n’est pas prévu ( repas, eau) est très élevé en comparaison à d’autres hôtels d’un standing bien supérieur.
• Ndunge (5/5): Definitely we would like to stay in the rooms next time. - We did not have the chance to eat the breakfast as we were rushing out. Next time when we passby again we will try it. We liked how it was private. Next time we will stay longer than one night. The mattress was slightly hard but doable. The shower hot water was not constant. Maybe when we book again you can have a little more showering hot water.
• Nadja (4/5): Für eine Nacht ok - Großes Appartment, haben wir aber so nicht gebraucht. Safari wurde organisiert. Auf der gesamten Reise war dies die schlechteste Unterkunft. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste. Alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das Essen bestand aus Tiefkühlprodukten und Fertiggerichten. Der Welcomedrink tauchte „versehentlich“ auf der Rechnung auf.
• Golfemile (7/5): - L'hôtel est à une très courte distance de l'entrée du parc de tsavo. Le propriétaire est très disponible pour vous apporter son aide et je l'entrée remercie car cela nous a fait gagner beaucoup de temps. La piscine est très agréable. L'état des appartements est dégradé.
• Chiara (8/5): Spacious comfortable clean and fair price. - The property was clean and the apartment was big. There are mosquito beds on all the beds, a big tv, and the fridge. Bathrooms are big and there were many sinks. The lunch was okay with quite some variety of food for 15$. The staff was nice and they allowed us to late check in and to stay in the rooms till late afternoon on the day of check out. They helped to arrange the game drives according to our requests for a fair price, and also prepared early breakfast to allow to go on safari at sunrise. We did not use the pool but it was nice big and clean so definitely would go for it another time. Bottles of water are quite expensive (500 schilling each) and we didn’t know the price so at the end of the stay we had to add 50$ of water. Also when we wanted to go out for dinner they were not able to help arranging a taxi so we had to find a driver ourselves which was a bit complex since they were not replying.
• MARY WANJIKU (5/5): -
• Jameson (8/5): The staff and pricing make this an outstanding option for visiting Tsavo - The staff was very friendly and helpful. The owner was there and went above and beyond making sure we had a great stay! More variety in the food offered during the buffet
• Ulf L 1 (8/5): -
• Brigitta Putri (8/5): Spacious & Convenient Camp near East Tsavo NP - I might be biased since we stayed here after several days of camping. The first thing we notice was the spaciousness of the camp. It has electricity, mini fridge and even bathroom attached. Warm water was available too. We were also provided the extra bed we requested, without additional fee. It is located really close to East Tsavo NP. Parking lot available for free on site. The pool was really clean too. Food available on site. The shower did not have any shower liner or curtain. Thus, after showering the floor often got wet and slippery, could be dangerous, especially for children. The food was okay, nothing special. Order can take really long especially the lunch or when you do not take the buffet option for dinner.
• Petra (10/5): - Die Lage ist wunderbar sehr nah zum Gate zu Tsavo east und auch Voi ist zu Fuß erreichbar.! Es ist ein sehr sichere Ort, mit super freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal das für alle wünsche offen ist. Es war auch kein Problem ein bzw mehrere Safaris zu arrangieren. Für mich als Alleinreisende sehr individuell...alles ist sehr sauber und das Swimmingpool perfekt um sich auszuruhen. -----
• Xav (10/5): - Nous avons été super bien accueillis le logement était propre
• erika (10/5): Benissimo - Stile autentico dell'Africa. Proprietario super simpatico!! Staff gentile e sempre sorridente
• Frank (9/5): -
• Paul (8/5): -
• Olga (4/5): We made sure we did not spend too much time at the impala lodge. - The swimming pool, though it was a bit cold. The food was really poor, the showers were cold most of the time, the room was outdated and not well maintained.
• Oskar (9/5): - Gut gelegen, wenige Kilometer vom Eingang Tsavo East Nationalpark und wenige Kilometer von Voi Station entfernt. Der Besitzer organisiert schnell einen tollen « Gamedrive ». Die Zelte waren einfach aber zweckmässig eingerichtet. -
• Frans (10/5): -
• Kithinji (1/5): -
• Derek (10/5): A worthy 'Indiana Jones' style hostelery - It was nicely situated, being a short walk from town. The swimming pool was a decent size. The food was good and varied. The staff were friendly and obliging, taking a lead, I guess from the owner, Thomas, a well travelled gentlemen who couldn't have been more engaging and affable. The bed was a little hard and it would have been nice to have a bedside lamp to read by.
• Thomas (9/5): great - well cooked and hot, great
• Hillary (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emily (7/5): Good -
• Wilyma (7/5): Good - Great location, friendly management and staff, excellent food. Affordable room charges. The tents are huge and great. I recommend this place for solo travelers on a budget. I didn't like the way their staff treats african visitors. You could clearly see behavior and treatment changes when whites are around. The gateman was one hell of man who never wanted to see african walkins.
• Hamza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hamza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (4/5): Could be better -
• Mariam (10/5): Exceptional - I was well looked after by the staff on site who were incredibly welcoming and helpful during my stay. My room was clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed breakfast especially the fresh fruits. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family when they visit Voi. N/A
• Paul (6/5): Pleasant -
• John (6/5): It'll do in a pinch! - Pool looked clean and inviting. Our rooms were in old safari tents with private bathrooms and dressing areas. Facilities are getting tired. Staff seem bored, as was very slow. Tent ceilings are low, even if you are 1.78m.
• David (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly helpful staff in a somewhat tired facility. The "tents" are quite cramped for someone six feet tall like me.
• Chung (8/5): Very good and comfortable overnight stay. - Personal touch from the owner. Thank you for the nice soup and salted Sprite to sooth my tummy! General update to brighten up? - furniture, deco, etc., it looked rather dark and tired.
• Antonio (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the food taste super nice and the rooms are great.
• Alice_987 (9/5): Superb - Perfect stay to visit tsavo park. With my friend we arrived by train from Mombasa and the facility is easily reachable by public means and close to the gate entrance. The staff was very nice and friendly with us; there were only a couple guests beside us, so we could fully enjoy the cosy and intimate atmosphere at the facility. The poolside is perfect for relaxing after the game in the park. We were also satisfied with the food and abundant breakfast. It's a perfect relaxing oasis and would definitely recommend it! The facility may need some additional maintainance and attention to details, but all in all we were very satisfied.
• Anonymous (1/5): Bad - The kind staff I hated the breakfast and the aura generally, I felt I didn't get value for my money except for the kind staff
• Majcus (10/5): I recommend. Completely satisfied - Friendly Service. Hearty and delicious meals. Clean and well-kept garden and pool area. Rooms offered are clean, large and comfortable I have no objections
• Edward (10/5): Amazing Staff amazing food and amazing location - If your planning on staying in Voi then I highly recommend Impala Safari Lodge. The rooms were very clean the food was amazing and the staff made the whole trip they really did anything they could do for us. Amazing place
• Sarah (7/5): Good -
• Komu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rani (5/5): Good location and helpful staff - Location was good Not well maintained Needs lots of upgrading Poor maintenance
• Vivien (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast had a very wide range of items. Staff were very kind and very accommodating to our itinerary. After a request they put as all in rooms right near each other. Very close to SGR and the national park.
• Shariffa (6/5): Pleasant -
• Mictur (7/5): Perfect location for us. Enjoyed the pool very much. - The one thing that stood out was the friendlyness of the owner and his staff. The rooms need some love, they are a bit outdated.
• Paulino (7/5): Very convenient for a safari stopover. Refreshing pool! - Buffete for breakfast and dinner was very good. The pool is a great refreshing opportunity after safari. Staff is helpful always. Bathrooms and showers can be improved. They require maintenance and better cleanliness.
• Megan (7/5): Convenient lodge in Voi. - This was a good option for a lay over in Voi. We arrived too late to enjoy the pool, but the buffet dinner was generous. The fridge in the room was very cold. The breakfast was also very tasty and enjoyed by all. Great location to visit Tsavo East NP The bar was poorly stocked. The wifi was intermittent and the generator didn’t work well when the power went out. Some fans were noisy and didn’t work well.
• Adrienn (5/5): Passable -
• Brendan (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely owner Food great Staff lovely Would stay again All good
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Great food, amazing swimming pool, within reach of Voi and SGR
• Lorenzo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jaap (8/5): Very good -
• Bass (10/5): We would absolutely return to this property. - The hospitality and service was excellent. My son and I were treated like VIP. Since it was off-season, we happen to be the only guess and we’re upgraded at no charge upon arrival. As a sweet-blooded white person, I very much appreciated mosquito nets without holes. Tom, the owner of the property was available at all times and spoiled us with African tea, gave me information about the surroundings and even offered a free ride back to the train station at our departure. Though the excellent and friendly hospitality by far outweighed the cosmetical imperfections, there were areas that were outdated, and showed signs of an aged property. 
• Joyce (5/5): Perhaps good enough for an overnight but for God's sake do not have dinner there! - The location was practical. The family had dinner at the hotel restaurant. To say it was disappointing is an understatement. First of all, it took forever to get the food served after ordering and then some arrived luke-warm. Milkshake was just milk with sugar and put through a blender for a couple of seconds. An absolute rip-off. The spinach looked like it had been boiled with some onions. The hotel redeemed itself the following day during breakfast but the memory of that horrendous dinner unfortunately stays with us.
• Kate (9/5): Great base camp in Voi - The staff was amazing. I booked very last minute and arrived late in the evening even though no one else was eating, they cooked me a delicious meal. The day I was to leave, I had 6 hours between my game drive and my bus and they let me keep my tent and rest.
• Leo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Diana (3/5): The place needs to be better kept. - friendly staff, coffee machine it doesn’t look like the pictures, it is very ran down.
• Arnaud (7/5): Good hotel, kind staff but bad restaurant - The room looked more like an apartment, really big and quite comfortable The swimming pool The staff was really kind The breakfast was ok The restaurant was not good at all: the fried fish they served was not eatable (but then, as an excuse, they kindly gave two other ones but one of them wasn't baked enough) and for the second meal they overcooked pasta though we ordered noodles... The furniture is a bit old fashion but functional
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - The owner and staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Good location, reasonable price and comfortable. rooms were a little dark, just needed another light in the room
• Brian (9/5): Superb - The staff are incredible, the set up and setting value for money. No complaints!
• Laura (6/5): Pleasant -
• Tony (8/5): Very good -
• H (9/5): will come back - very good, compleet, friendly
• Kamau (6/5): Pleasant -
• Moses (7/5): lovely people but the price was high compared to the facility. the facility is very old. - the ambiance the tent modified rooms
