"We stayed in this lovely hotel for 3 nights with no regrets, Daniel at the reception is warm enough to make you extend from 1 night to 3, he had 2 rooms for us to choose from. The rooms are sparkling clean, beds neatly made, clean towels and the lady in floor 6 is wonderful.

Maili Saba Camp
9.4 (12 reviews)

Maili Saba Camp ★★★

📍 Road to Maili Saba, Gingalili, Nakuru

"I am posting my 12 yo son’s review written from his perspective. Upon our afternoon arrival at the resort, we were greeted warmly by the staff. My younger brother (9) and I (12) embarked on an exploration of the premises. Within minutes, we stumbled upon a swimming pool. Returning to the reception area, we were welcomed with glasses of delicious mango juice. We were then escorted to our room, which boasted a stunning view of the caldera in which the resort was nestled. Surrounded by lush foliage, the room provided a scenic viewpoint that was truly breathtaking. Inside, we found our beds neatly made and the room spacious. A further inspection revealed a large bathroom and an additional kids room. Excited by the discovery of the pool, my brother and I were slightly disappointed to find leaves and debris in the pool. However, upon our request, the staff brought it to a pristine condition within 5 minutes. We enjoyed a good swim before changing and resuming our exploration while my parents went for a massage in the spa. The dinner options were enticing, offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes over three courses. A cozy fireplace in the dining room was a nice prelude to the sumptuous meal! Overall, our experience at the resort was memorable, marked by excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and comfortable accommodations. The initial cleanliness of the pool was a minor setback, but the staff’s quick response and the overall cleanliness of the resort more than made up for it. We look forward to our next visit."

Oldonyo Lodge Hotels in Nakuru

Oldonyo Lodge

"This was my second trip to Ol Donyo, my first with clients. I have stayed at many of Great Plains Conservations' camps in Kenya and Botswana. There is a reason I continue to return to their properties year after year. Ol Donyo is a gem located in the stunningly beautiful Chyulu Hills and it is the only lodge (though it has more of a camp feel than a lodge) in the 200 hundred thousand+ acres of land it leases from the Maasai and ensures protection for the Maasai way of life and the wildlife that call it home. Ol Donyo has gone through some refurbishing since my first trip (though I didn't think they needed to improve upon near perfection). The big highlight is the new underground hide at the waterhole that attracts all sorts of animals, including some of the biggest tuskers left in all of Africa. If you don't want to go out for a game drive, you can relax at the hide and gaze at the myriad of animals and birds that come to drink. The rooms all have their own private star beds if you wish to sleep outside under the stars. It is a must, especially when the big pride males come to drink and roar...you feel it reverberate around you! As one comes to expect of Great Plains, the food, service, staff, and guiding is world class. Their properties are so carefully designed to ensure the bush charm of the area is maintained. Ol Donyo definitely upheld this standard. Our guide, Daniel, was exceptional. A super kind human being with a wealth of knowledge of the area. A Maasai himself, our group bombarded him with all kinds of questions about the Maasai and he was very happy to oblige us. He is a great storyteller. All of the guides at Ol Donyo are incredible! Back to the setting. Mt Kilimanjaro dominates the horizon, with vast plains dotted with Umbrella Thorn Acacia (Acacia tortilis) trees which end abruptly at the base of the hills dominated by bush, thickets, and o host of other native trees. The hills were created by a very recent lava flow (geologically speaking) which has created a marvelous setting and Ol Donyo is built such a way as to melt into its surroundings. Flying into camp, you really can see how the lava flow moved along the landscape. The only other people you may see on safari are other guests from the lodge. We were exceptionally lucky to have incredible and numerous cheetah sightings every day (4 day stay), lions literally around the corner from the lodge everyday, lots of giraffe, elephant, eland, baboon, several species of antelope (the gerenuk being one of the very unique species), and more. Ol Donyo should be at the top of the list for a Kenya stay, especially since many of the national parks in Kenya have not been managed very well and are seeing the effects of poorly managed tourism. Ol Donyo and all of the other camps in the Great Plains portfolio are in areas away from those which really adds to the exceptional experience for the guest."

Maili Saba Camp ★★★
"Maili Saba Camp is a peaceful, well-run retreat with incredible views over the Menengai Crater. The tents are spacious and comfortable, with hot showers and private verandas that make it easy to relax and take in the scenery. The staff were warm and attentive throughout our stay, and the food was consistently excellent. We especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere and personal touches. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path location."

Eagle Palace Hotel ★★★★
"This beautiful hotel is very accessible within Nakuru's town CBD. Online booking was flawless, and when we arrived, Lady Naomi at the reception was amazing! She wore a beautiful warm welcoming smile consistently (very professional) and offered us excellent and outstanding customer service! What we loved the most was the very spacious and clean family rooms with hot showers. The breakfast buffet was also top-notch with a wide range of selection. We really enjoyed our our one-night stay on our vacation enroute from Eldoret to Naivasha. Comparable to other 3-star hotels, this really exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended! Simple, elegant with outstanding premier guest experience! My family and I visiting from diaspora during the Summer holidays loved it!"
