The game lodge is beautiful, the swimming pool is inviting and a great place to unwind. The climate was wonderful and the staff were very friendly. The great thing about this place is the location and the great weather. It is truly a wonderful place for a vacation. More

This is a wonderful resort in an amazing location. The staff really did an outstanding job. The food was pretty good, but we were at Shaba during an incredibly slow time and the kitchen staff did not appear to be in top gear and the chefs did not appear to be as well trained as I am accustomed to at...

This hotel was great for a relaxed 3 night stay. I was attending a conference nearby and this hotel was a tremendous respite. Hotel had nice facilities, great location, and the best staff I've experienced so far in Kenya. The staff really made all the difference. Only downside (and this isn't the hotels fault) was that there was so little... More

Sarova shaba game lodge is one of the best and finest hotel in East Africa. It is situated in a semi arid area but build on an oasis which makes it easy access for the people who work in the lodge to very clean water that is also used in the lodge. The service is superb and the luxury rooms... More

Of a 5 night safari my first 2 nights were spent here, what an amazing introduction to the holiday. Top rate accommodation, service second to none, food of a very high quality. No more than a five minute drive outside of the gates you are in the thick of safari land, beautiful scenery and animals a plenty. I can't recommend... More

If you are looking for a combination of adventure, luxury and nature, in a safari experience, one of the best options is definitely Sarova Shaba. This hotel is located in the Shaba National Reserve, which is a very particular place because it is facing a river full of crocodiles, which you can admire as they sunbathe and they come to... More

Two nights in a magic place! The lodge is huge, clean and nice. the restaurant super.

A river is nera the... More

We stayed at the Sarova Shaba for 2 nights as part of a 12 night trip to Kenya. We stayed at other Sarova accomodations as well and found the food at all the locations relatively similar. The road to this location was good until we got off the main road to go to the reserve. It's quite bumpy and unpaved.... More
