This lodge is locked in a time warp and is just as the builders left it. The rooms are small the bathroom filthy with mouldy shower curtain and cracked tiles. Electric cables loose across the stairs. As for the food you can survive on it and they are clever in feeding the animals so that they make a nightly appearance More

Okay its not a 5 star hotel, but the view is at least worth 8 stars . Besides that, its great to be escorted to your room by this mysterious beautiful Masai man. The campfire late at night, was great, the host was very sympathetic and informative, the staff helpful and the food very good. If you expect 5 stars... More

I booked Ngulia Bandas last year as part of our honeymoon experience, but a mistake led us to Ngulia safari lodge ( reading the reviews people seem to be confusing the pair) - I had booked the suite at the top of the hill with the jacuzzi but was atad bummed that due to driver error ( silly error) we...

We arranged a safari whilst staying in Mombasa and selected to stay at Ngulia as the brochure proved interesting. We were not dissapointed! We enjoyed the Tsavo West safari but the highlight of our trip was without question our stay at Ngulia.

One is a 50 bedroom mega building with an amazing view over mmba (miles and miles of bl*** Africa), complete with swimming pool (very useful on a hot day). Stayed there 40 years ago - very nice, been back several times since for drink and a swim, not my... More

As soon as we arrived I knew it was a mistake but unfortunately because of our late arrival we were unable to do anything about it...the lodge is very out dated and appears to be falling... More

During our travel through Kenya & Tanzania Ngulia camp (there is also a Ngulia lodge) was the worst experience among the camps and lodges we had. Ok, there were some very high standards to measure up with (for example Ziwani), but even then there where some major points of criticism. But let me start with the positive points: - excellent...

Admittedly the shower did not quite measure up to a 5 star hotel, but the food is good and the view and the location largely compensate. Nothing can compare to the joy of sitting on your terrace as the sun sets or rises , watching the herds of elephants and buffalos gathering at the waterhole. More

There are 2 lodges under this Hotel listing. We stayed in the Ngalia Bandas, which is some 20Km from the Lodge. Rooms are wonderful, mesh and canvas to the front wall so you can lie in bed and take in the impressive views. Large Balcony's where you can see over 2 watering holes. We saw herds and herds of elephants... More
