We stayed at Ngulia on the first night of our 3 day safari and would have stayed another night. O.K. the decor is dated but you are so tired after a very early start a bed is all you need. The surroundings certainly make up for any shortcoming's. The views are simply spectacular the grounds are will kept, a small... more

We stayed here as past of a Tsavo East and West safari. As other reviewers have mentioned, the lodge is rather dated. I nearly laughed when i went in to the room as the stone wall looked like my parents fireplace in the 70's. No air conditioning and the mossie net had holes in it. It was very cold at... more

We stayed here during our honeymoon safari - it was the 6th out of 7 lodges we stayed in, and compared to the others, it was the worst. The room was ok, we had a corner room with views of the water hole, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful. However, the hotel attracts animals by leaving food for... more

The lodge itself is a little dated it did look like something out of the 60's i even thought it could have been used as an old research facility, but all in all the lodge is great, with spectacular views which more than make up for the old decor. at the end of the day when youve been bumped around... more

We stayed at Ngulia lodge for our first night of our Tsavo East/West safari. Although the lodge is a little dated the service and the views were outstanding. I've never had sunday lunch before whilst watching elephants at a watering hole! The watering hole is definately an advantage as are the amazing views over Tsavo West. Even though it looks... more

We stayed here for one night on a Kenyan safari. The lodge was opened in 1969, and is therefore one of the earlier lodges built for the mass tourist market. Whereas more modern lodges tend to be dressed in an "ethnic" style this lodge unashamedly displays it's concrete construction. The building is showing some signs of its age; some of... more

My husand and I were supposed to travel in January but because of the trouble went April, out of season. We knew it would be quiet but we didn't quite expect to have the whole of this hotel to ourselves. The rooms are in need of some TLC, but to be honest I'm not sure how they would get the... more

We stayed one night at Ngulia during our safari. The rooms were quite basic but the surroundings were so lovely it didn't matter. The food and the service were excellant and we saw the leopard! Spent a lovely evening looking out into the bush at the elephants and other animals who were busy at night. Fantastic after a busy day... more

We stayed at Ngulia Safari Lodge during a 2-day Tsavo East and West safari from Mombasa. The lodge was very nice. The room was clean, had a good bed, and a small balcony. We stayed in the corner room 14A with a great view overlooking both sides of the hotel. The bathroom was simple, but had nice hot running water.... more
