Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! The view is absolutely breathtaking and honestly you can’t put a price on seeing wild animals all day, everyday. The lodge oversees a watering hole from the dining area and some of the bedrooms. The watering hole is in close proximity and we saw over 25 wild animals. On top of that the staff are kind, welcoming, and made us feel at home. We would especially like to thank Darcos at reception, Stephen (park range, game drive), and Daniel (restaurant) - they made us feel like family. Our highlights were seeing a cheetah with its kill and a young leopard. We wouldn’t have seen the cheetah but when it was spotted Stephen found us and personally drove us there. We didn’t see a lion this time but it’s just a reason to come back! Thank you we will surely be back.

It was the best hotel experience in my whole life! Safari taken to a new level of comfort - when animals come right to you. We saw all kind of animals coming to the lake - zebras, antipopes, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, monkeys, even a lioness! All from the comfort of our balcony and the restaurant. We have been so amazed! Cherry on top, one evening we heard and then saw an elephant eating a bush right under our balcony. Also, this is one of the most comfortable hotels/safari experiences to get to from Nairobi. We took a luxurious train from Nairobi Terminus (about 3 hours), and then 1 hour hotel shuttle through the park. Staff, food, rooms, amenities - everything was on top. Thank you so much for this beautiful weekend, one of the best in my life!

The location was exquisite, just in front of a water hole, where animals come all day (and night) to drink water. It was the best hotel we stayed during our safari, with big rooms and comfortable beds, overlooking the water hole (some rooms, at least). Best lobby and bar/restaurant as well, also overlooking the water hole. Tsavo West is very scenic but it’s a bit difficult to spot animals because of the dense bush forest, however you can spot them at the hotel/water hole.

This resort has been probably the best one on our whole 2 weeks trip in Kenya. The rooms are spacious, all the staff is absolutely professional but nevertheless kind and friendly. We fully enjoyed our stay at Kilaguni... the room, the pool and expecially the restaurant with its magnificent view of the two potholes.

Absolutely everything was perfect. I visited at the end of a few weeks travelling, and was here to relax. I mostly spent my time on my balcony watching wildlife pass me by! It was absolutely perfect! So calm and relaxing, and just so surreal to see an elephant as you're sipping a g&t!!! The food was great, and all the staff were so attentive (special thanks to David K for giving me the perfect table at dinner!).I did 2 game drives, and although we didn't see too much, there was always something that made it special.
