Southern Comfort Safari

Our driver brought us here from near Kimana gate of Amboseli park and it took about 3 hrs (included a 15 min stop at the Shitani Lava field which is on the route).

The lodge is a great place to stay and the highlight is the watering hole that has excellent viewing spots from the dining area and a slightly lowered sitting area. A lot of wildlife comes by the watering hole.

A few notes that may be helpful:
- saw tons of animals at the watering hole at 2pm. Not many at 6:30pm onwards.
- Free bottled water in room
- Food is all you can eat buffet at all meals. All drinks cost extra in the dining area (except help-yourself juice at breakfast, and coffee and tea at all meals).

Restaurant and bar overlook amazing Watering hole. We were there for only two nights and saw elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos, impala, baboons all visiting. Lodge is historic building in beautifully kept grounds with atmospheric restaurant, excellent shop and swimming pool as well as amazingly quick laundry service.

We stayed here for the first night of our safari. It was a nice room, fairly basic. As it was low season,they didn't have a lot of guests (except for the ants on the dining table) Dinner was served by candle light, which meant we had to use our phone's torch to read the menu and see what we were eating.

What you can't fault is the proximity to the animals. With a watering hole outside the bedroom window and the open air access to the restaurant and bar. You are able to watch the passing animals very clearly.

Staff are very friendly and polite and nothing is too much trouble.

Wow! What a magical place this is. A stunning location with the most amazing view of the water hole. In the daytime saw buffalo, zebra, antelopes, warthogs, baboons. Night time viewing from the restaurant, bar and our room was incredible. Saw buffalo, hyenas, jackals, genet cat and a late night giraffe to name just a few. Food was great as were all of the staff. We sadly only stayed for 1 night but wished we'd had much longer.

Stayed for one night as part of a safari the views from the hotel are stunning with 2 watering holes you can watch the animals while either having your meal
Or a drink, rooms are lovely shampoo and shower gel provided in the room as well as water and tea and coffee, we don’t had breakfast however, lunch and evening meal were both excellent.
