Lunch buffet cost 1500 shilling and was not worth that amount at all! (Same for the dinner buffet that was even more expenzive) If you have booked the night game drive and dont have a car, be aware that they might not have any car ready for taking you on the game drive. One star if you go there with no kids - its like a kindergarten, very very kids-noicy! 3 stars if you go there with kids, hende dont care about the noice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s a great unique open space with interesting landscape (both natural and curated). They were doing quite a bit of landscape work while we were there which created some noise and a lot of staff moving about during the day, but it was very quiet and peaceful at night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Njonge Dec 26, 2024 ##### Njonge Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antony Jul 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Antony Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Renwick](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Renwick.h12092.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) > > [Haven Riviera Cancun - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Haven-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-SPA-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h23092201.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental San Diego by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-InterContinental-San-Diego.h26984236.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa.h1151641.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in Abbotsford](https://www.expedia.ca/Abbotsford-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d4128-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [Jamliz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mwingi-Hotels-JAMLIZ-HOTEL.h48214087.Hotel-Information) > > [The Business Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-The-Business-Inn.h896730.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/phx/edmonton-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Brandon (YBR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ybr/montreal-to-brandon) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [flights from buffalo niagara intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/buf/flights-from-buffalo-niagara-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Naples (NAP) to Venice (VCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nap/vce/naples-to-venice) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Santa Cruz (FNC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fnc/toronto-to-funchal) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Fort Myers](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Fort-Myers.d602729.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Etobicoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Etobicoke.d10207.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise ### Packages > [Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/178315/Vancouver)
