The place is very nice with the dining area overlooking some watering holes. We saw very few animals at the watering holes but the view was stunning and the food yummy. The rooms were nice and the bed comfy. We were booked through a safari company so we just ate and slept there and were on the safari most of... More

We stayed at this lodge in January for 1 night we found it be excellent with stunning views. The rooms were excellent as was the food and all the facilities. We booked a 3 day safari with JTsafaris (Julius K Nzumbi of Julius Tact Safaris) which we arranged before arriving in Kenya. Julius was in regular contact with us before... More

As other reviewers have said, the view is breath-taking, pictures do not do it justice. The only time I really regretted leaving behind the lens for my DSLR! The USP of this property is the watering hole overlooking the rooms and the restaurant. One can recline with a drink and gaze away at the animals all through the day and... More

Be careful as there are other operators using a very similar name.Julius was in contact with us before we left England, when we got to Kenya and every day whilst on the... More

Me and my friends stayed here on the 2nd night of our 3day safari. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was the best we'd had in Kenya and the views were indescribable, pictures dont do it justice! the view from the restaurant and bar area is breathtaking and over looks a large water hole. If I had more... More

Stayed there for one night whilst on a Safari in Tsavo West, Yes, it has an amazing view of a water hole, and has reasonable accommodation and food, and this makes it worth visiting. Unfortunately, I was upset by having to pay extortionate rates to get connected to the internet. I stayed at other high class lodges whilst on safari... More

We went to 3 hotels on our 4 day safari with JT Safaris (Julius) and this was far and away the best. Excellent food and the most stunning location imaginable. The restaurant overlooks the waterhole which is visited 24 hours per day by many types of wildlife. We sat til late one night watching the comings and goings and didnt... More

Amazing hotel, huge open fronted restaurant overlooking waterhole. Rooms also overlook the waterhole, game comes and goes all day. When out on safari in Tsavo it's hard to see wildlife due to trees and scrub, I think you'd see as much sitting on your balcony.Great food and pool. More

We arrived at Kilaguni Serena straight from Nairobi airport to start our 10-day journey through Kenya. The hotel is the perfect choice to relax and look at the zebras, giraffes, baboons and other wild animals just in front of you from the open air restaurant and bar. The staff is professional, efficient, dedicated. The food quality is good with a... More
