アシュニール アルバ ロッジ(Ashnil Aruba Lodge)

We visited here in April for 3 days as a family. The place was very quiet and so we were served Al a carte. The chef Humphrey Mjema went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the food. He even was accomadating for the kids special requets. We were greeted every breakfast, lunch and dinner by one of the kindest waiters I have met called Doctor Matembo. Florence Atieno also went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything. It really felt like VIP service. As a lodge they gave definitely stepped up their game since my last visit 3 years ago! I definitely would recommend this and would definitely visit again. Thank you Asnil for a wonderful time!

Disappointed with the reaction from a certain member of reception staff when I had forgotten my face mask, when asked, directed me to the shop to buy one, where at other places we stayed at one was always available if asked. Other than that our room which overlooked the watering hole was good with terrace, good view of game from it, kept clean and was equipped with everything we needed. Staff otherwise than above were good, attentive and helpful even when we had a snake slither by us when enjoying a drink in the bar area, consternation! it was excluded!! and on another occasion we had a monitor lizard (see photo) pay us a visit, again whilst enjoying a drink.

We stayed there for one night, during our 3 day safari in Tsavo. The location is absolutely fantastic! From our room we could see the watering hole, with elephants and hippos. The staff was really nice, always ready to help us with everything and the food was fresh and delicious!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here The team were very friendly Nice rooms with view of the watering hole Food very tasty - especially the Indian food They ensured my wife had a memorable birthday with a special dinner experience Many thanks to the whole team

The loacation of this lodge wheer the Aruba dam exists is vey ideal.Despite the hot temperatues in Tsavo has a very good cool temperatures because has been surrounded by trees. The servcie is excellent and the rooms well maintained to ensure the comfort of our clients.Food is excellent and very fresh.

We stayed for two nights at Ashnil Aruba Lodge while on a safari booked via Marco Polo Safaris. The welcome was great and the staff very good. The rooms were good with lovely views but incredibly hot. Even with two fans, it was extremely difficult to sleep due to the heat. The rooms were nice, basic and you do not have a fridge but can get an ice bucket from the bar. Wifi was only available in the bar. The food was fine and the Indian breads were lovely. The pool area was wonderful to have and our children used it every day. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It is not really 4 star accommodation - more 3 or 3.5 star in our opinion. I'm sure in the dry season you will see a lot of wildlife at the watering holes. but we saw nothing as it is the wet season.

14 years since I was introduced to Ashnil. Been to all 3 lodges( Tsavo, Samburu and Mara) multiple times. In these 3 parks, I have never chosen to stay elsewhere. Very consistent with their service , their experience shows. Some people here complain about bugs. Tsavo is a complete package. It's biodiversity is all inclusive. If you have a bug allergy simply don't go to any park at all. If you have a phobia, face your fears, bugs won't hurt you. Food? Amazing! They go out of their way to cater for specific requests ( when reasonably able). Also guests need to understand that unlike city restaurants, these guys are deep in the jungle , completely off grid ( power wise) and limited Comms. It's ok if they run out of stuff at times Staff? They bake you special cakes for no reason at all. They sing and dance around you. They make your beds and spread the nets before the bugs come out. They chase monkeys away while you eat in peace. They wake up at 4 in the morning to make you breakfast, and stay up at the bar passed midnight. I drove there last weekend. I had a minor car issue, wanted to go back to Voi ( the nearest town 35 kms away), they fixed it for me. These are good people , They have good lodges, they are experienced. 14 years of getaways at Ashnil , hopefully many more to come.

Beautiful lodge inside the parc. The staff is great, always trying to make you feel comfortable. The 1st choice for us in Tsavo East. Elephants in front of the door. The sound of birds is magic. Tsavo East is a wonderful place to feel and inhale Africa.

Stayed here as part of a group of 30 on Safari. None of us had a great stay here (2 nights). Most of us wanted to leave after first night. We all expected bugs etc as we were on safari but the amount of bugs in our rooms was awful. When we checked in our room had a large amount of bugs inside and dead ones round the balcony window and door. There was gaps in door and behind toilet so that’s how they were getting in. Staff did provide bug spray in the rooms. Food was buffet still and although the desserts and fruit were covered by nets there were holes in the nets. The other food (bread etc) wasn’t covered and the flies were around it. Staff were helpful
