Advantages: Amazing sights from the restaurant and bar!

Disadvantages: Accomodation could usea little bit of a tidy up!

My visit to the Voi Safari Lodge was a very brief one in early October 2008.

I was in Kenya on my 2 week honeymoon, of which 8 days were a safari covering various different parts of the wonderful country. We were meant to spent our last night in Voi before heading off to Mombassa, but due t an extra night we spent in Amboselli, we had to sacrifice Voi - a not altogether bad idea as it turned out.

Now dont get me wrong, Voi was a lovely place to be (we went tere for lunch and a short afternoon break) but just a little short of the wonderful high standard in most of the Kenya lodges we experienced.

I can not comment on the rooms as we didnt go into those, but from the outside they did look like they needed a new coat of paint and a few minor repairs.

The restaurant food was very nice, certainly on par with the other lodges we stayed in - served as a hot buffet with loads of choice and was served by very friendly staff,

The view from the restauramt and bar was amazing, overlooking a watering hole where we were able t watch a few elephants and giraffes come and go for their refreshment - along with a warthog or 2!

Overall i would say if we had only gone therewe probably would have loved it and been very happy, however having stayed in the previous locations we had done, it did highlight the slight lack of attention to repair!

Dont let this put you off though, the views over Tsavo and the local wildlife still make sure this is a stunning place to be!
