Spent several days at Ikweta Safari Camp at Meru National Park earlier this year. It was awesome. I have been meaning to write about my experience earlier but after visiting some other camps since my stay at Ikweta, I feel that I need to make some rave remarks about this camp in particular as it is one of a kind....

We received a warm welcome by the staff at Ikweta Safari camp The place is serene and the service was great so were the tents, beautifully laid out, neat, and well kept and with comfortable beds, however, I was not see overjoyed about the bathrooms facing the pathway and was constantly worried about privacy. The meals were barely satisfying and... More

We welcome the positive comments of Mugure A. about Ikweta Safari Camp: That "the place is serene and the service was great so were the tents, beautifully laid out, neat, and well kept and with comfortable beds". However, the comments on the privacy of the bathrooms ("facing the pathway") are inaccurate, since the tent concept for the bathrooms at our... More

Well, I'll give credit where it's due, very warm welcome by the manager and staff, they were informative and friendly, accommodation was good but our Ikweta experience went down hill from there. Food was minimal, hints of bacon and not enough tea, coffee or milk! we were even served crispy burnt mbuzi (goat) on our last night. During our last... More

We are a new tented camp and we strive to provide services that are of high standard, but yet affordable and are seen by our guests to present good value for their money. Indeed, our brand is about “Affordable safari luxury”. The large number of guests who have stayed with us since we opened in October 2011 and commented on... More

Despite the long trip from Nairobi we spent a well deserved rest over Easter at the camp and it is surely marvellous it is almost like discovering a place you would always go back and recommend to anyone. My kids enjoyed the warm pool. Food and room service were excellent. I still wish to go back and enjoy the ambience.... More

Bear with the long review - I hope it's helpful. We took a chance and booked Ikweta Safari Camp for a family holiday after looking through reviews on tripadvisor. We lucked out as Ikweta is a great place at a great price for Kenya residents. The food was always fresh - all the vegetables for this and its sister hotel... More

We just got back from a wonderfully relaxing four night stay at this tented camp. I must say that the entire team at Ikweta has done an outstanding job at making our stay a pleasant one. I think it is the attention to small details that makes such an appealing complete package. For example, the natural sounds of the "wilderness"... More

I stayed at Ikweta during Easter 2012 and it was amazing. Easily accessible from the main road. Very well done modern tents, tastefully fitted and I particularly loved the bathroom fixtures. I would rate it a 3 star. Everything is covered, no mosquitoes as you would expect, very homely in the bush! Its a stones throw from the Meru National... More

Found the place by accident. Only 3km from Meru National Park, the 40km road to the place from Meru town is tarmaced all the way with the exception of about 3 km of rough pot-holed stretches. Great tented camp. Clean and beautifully land-scaped. The pool is nicely warm. The owner employs from the local community. Since it is still starting... More

We appreciate the guest's comments concerning our new tented camp, that it is a "great tented camp, clean and beautifully landscaped". Our solar warmed pool is enjoyed by all our guests. In fact, many seem to stay in the pool for hours and hours. A bit more precision on the road to our camp and onwards to Murera (Main) Gate... More

By good lack I found this wonderful place, just almost walking distance from the gate of the park. Spend there two nights; perfect - accommodation top class and very friendly and efficient service. Really affordable place to stay and have a chance to see national park. Camp is worthy of every shilling spend there. Congratulation to the owners and staff... More
