Shaba — An Epic Nature Escape! Shaba was absolutely epic! The natural beauty was breathtaking — the sound of water trickling through the surroundings was so calming and truly refreshing. They’ve really done a great job greening the place, which adds to its serene vibe. The fish foot massage was an unforgettable experience — I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though Jo couldn’t quite stand it (she still earned a gold star for trying!). The food was divine, and Chef Joseph was always there, making sure we were well taken care of. And I can’t forget to mention Nimo — she was simply amazing and took such good care of Jo.Thank you for honoring Jo's Elephant theme😊 We’ll surely be back and I highly recommend Shaba to anyone visiting Isiolo!

While this was not at the property it was the payment of park fees that was paid to a personal number that left so many question's as we have been used yo Citizen

Everything was great.

What the advert and all the online briefing and information about the Lodge failed to say was that, in addition to the price of rooms, onw had to pay a significant Park Entry fee to reach the hotel. This added some 20% onto the price of the advertsied cost and is verging on misrepresentation. This needs to be rectified or might render the Hotel liable to legal action.

The staff are committed to ensuring you have a great stay - they, in my opinion, are the gems of this resort. Kudos 😊 Tranquil setting - was great to hear the birds & crickets chirping. Thank you for making the holiday memorable.

The sprinklers in the morning - sprayed water on the paths. A bit frustrating when travelling with luggage. A quick fix for future visitors.

Hotel is in a tranquil location with a great pool- fantastic for relaxation. The evening buffet meal was excellent. Staff friendly and attentive.

The rooms could do with a little modernisation. Be prepared for about a 20 minute off road drive to the hotel from the main road - but it’s very scenic!

Nice location - but inside a national reserve, so you have to pay that extra. Nice personell, great pool with cool water (may be cold for some but we enjoyed it)

Quite pricey, rooms a bit small

The food was exceptional. There was a lot of variety to choose from. The menu was different every day. The chef took his time to visit our table and ask how we enjoyed our food.

Nothing :-)
