VOI Wildlife Lodge

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this hotel was beyond disappointing. The entire place is outdated, poorly maintained, and simply not worth the stay. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that cleanliness was not a priority. The room was dirty, I had to clean it myself just to feel somewhat comfortable. The bedsheets and pillowcases had visible stains, and the mosquito nets were full of holes and smelled terrible, making them completely useless. We ended up battling bugs all night, which left my children traumatized. The bathroom was no better. The shower was filthy, and the shower curtain looked like it hadn’t been washed in ages. It’s shocking that a place in this condition is still operating. The only redeeming qualities were the pool and the staff. The pool itself was nice, but the pool beds were old and rusted. The food was decent, but they recycled the same meals for both lunch and dinner, which became monotonous. Despite everything, I have to commend the staff—they were kind, welcoming, and did their best under the circumstances. Unfortunately, good service can’t make up for the horrible state of the hotel. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay elsewhere if you value cleanliness, comfort, and a decent night’s sleep.

My wife and I had a delightful overnight stay at Voi Wildlife Lodge. The lodge is perfectly situated, offering stunning views of the Tsavo East landscape and a watering hole where we could watch wildlife right from the comfort of the lodge. Our room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, providing a perfect blend of comfort and connection to nature. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist, which added a personal touch to our experience. The meals were excellent, with a variety of delicious options to choose from, and dining while overlooking the wildlife was an unforgettable experience. Overall, our stay was peaceful and rejuvenating. Voi Wildlife Lodge is a great choice for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Tsavo East. We highly recommend it and hope to return soon!

Great place for family and friends. Budget friendly and good location. Can get very hot during the summer so can add air conditioning in most rooms. The room and bathroom is a decent size. The staff are very friendly and are really to help at all times. Tsavo East national park entrance is very close (about a 7 mins drive) while Tsavo West is far (about an 1 hour to 1 hour 30 drive). Good food and great curio shop. Has the history of the mean eaters of Tsavo which was very fascinating. Very green during the wet season and just beautiful stunning views all around. Can the the watering hole from mostly all rooms which is a big part of the lodge. Can get lucky as see elephants and small birds come to drink water during the summer. They have three pools, one big main one near the pizzeria, one infinity pool overlooking the watering hole, and a small one. Great place overall.
