Hunters Lodge

Schönes Hotel mit vielen Affen. Gemütliches Bett sauber. Danke für die entspannte Zeit

Der Empfang in der Lodge war - wie fast überall in Afrika - herzlich, die Aufnahme unkompliziert. Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig, wenn auch etwas aus der Zeit gefallen. Die Tür zum Bad war eine Saloon-Tür, ganz im Western-Stil gehalten. Der Balkon war großzügig, wenngleich die Sitzkissen einer Reinigung bedurft hätten. Die Speisekarte war übersichtlich, die Speisen schmackhaft. Der Park der Lodge lud zum Spazierengehen ein, man musste sich allerdings vor einer streunenden Pavian-Herde in Acht nehmen. Der Poolbereich war großzügig und gepflegt. Alles in allem ist es eine sehr schöne Lodge, mit einem alten, ausgebauten Farmhaus. Leider sehr wenig frequentiert, da sie zu weit vom Tsavo NP entfernt liegt.

We had often driven by this place on our way to the Tsavo Parks and been enticed by what appeared to be a nice lodge in leafy grounds. We were not wrong. Circumstances ruled an overnight be taken here on our drive from Nairobi to the Tsavo parks and we arrived close to dark for a one night stay. The evening meal was prepared to our order but having arrived fresh by long haul air we were not hungry enough to put the Chef to much trouble beyond a simple Omelette etc., The standard was high enough to demonstrate a full meal would be well presented had we had the appetite. Sleep was assured and quickly came in a nice clean room. Next morning we awoke to lovely grounds and no traffic noise from the busy A104 just a short drive away. Breakfast again paid tribute to the quality of the food with freshly prepared cooked eggs etc., with juice and cereals to hand as well. Throughout our stay the staff were extremely attentive and helpful and even passed on messages from our friends from whom we had become separated by chance. Whilst waiting to be re-united we explored the leafy grounds and lakeside that had tempted us in earlier drive bys and were not disappointed by the birdlife we found. A great place to overnight and even spend a few days in this lovely area.
