I stayed at Samburu Simba Lodge from December 23 to December 25 2011 with my husband and 7-year old daughter. At first everything seemed good. The room was nice and the food was OK. We were the only guests the first night which we did not think so much about at the moment. It would show that we should have... More

The lodge seemed very quiet during our stay (only one other family). They assured us it... More

I went to this lodge in November 2010 with my girlfriends, this was our first stop on a 10 day trip accross Kenya. The lodge was nice with friendly staff, spacious rooms and a great view of the park. I wasn't a huge fan of the 'english food', but the Indian food was very tasty.

Upon arriving at the Lodge we were greeted by the staff with some refreshing hot towels and cool fruit drinks (which was a welcoming touch). Our room... More

Outstanding service and staff. Excellent brand new and clean accommodations. Nice open big deck with well stocked bar. Elephants stroll within 50 yards. All meals were very good and served buffet style. Lots of options. Went here as part of a 2 week safari and it was definitely in the top 10% of places stayed.

Each room is quite large with safe, dressing table, wardrobe, small dressing area, large and modern en-suite and a very nice balcony with modern sun loungers. Each room has a view. Whilst the rooms do not offer hairdryers,... More
