Family hotels and homes in Tsavo

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.

Safaris and elephants cocktails everything was like great.

A magical hotel along the river, where wildlife is an integral part of the experience – elephants, impalas, crocodiles, hippos, monkeys, and on rare occasions, even lions have been spotted just outside the cottages. The staff, from the reception to the security guards, are both professional and incredibly hospitable. In particular, the hotel manager, Festes Mbeva, is the most humble and welcoming person I have ever met. Cooling off in the pool after a safari trip and relaxing in the shade while the cool breeze offers relief on a hot afternoon is an experience I will never forget. The rooms are of excellent quality, and both breakfast and dinner were delightful. We decided to extend our stay by another night, and I’m already looking forward to coming back in two years.

The food was great. The stuff and the view was lovely. We slept in the tents and we loved every minute of it. Lots of monkeys out side and u could really feel the nature... and the beautiful cinery.

Sentrim Tsavo East Camp is a great place to stay, perfectly located in the heart of Tsavo East National Park. Surrounded by lush greenery, the camp blends beautifully with nature, offering a truly immersive safari experience. One of the highlights is the watering hole, which attracts elephants, giraffes, zebras, birds, and other wildlife—easily observed right from the dining area. The tents are spacious and comfortable, featuring well-equipped bathrooms. The swimming pool provides a refreshing escape after game drives. The service was outstanding, with a warm and attentive team ensuring a great stay. The food selection was diverse and delicious, including a taste of authentic Kenyan specialties. At night, the experience becomes even more magical as you can clearly hear lions roaring nearby, adding to the wild and thrilling atmosphere. The staff was focused on safety, making sure everyone was okay after dark given the proximity of predators outside the camp. Tip: Enjoy a drink by the pool and indulge in a massage for the perfect way to relax between safari adventures!

We had experienced and friendly staff.
