The lodge offers great scenic views over a narrow gorge and fast flowing river into the Nairobi National Park. The staff are generally helpful and very polite. The food is fine but the choice is quite limited. The rooms are clean but a little old and rough around the edges but certainly not run down. The grounds are wonderful, a large area with a lot of trees filled with wildlife - exotic butterflies, birds, rock hyrax’s and monkeys, all roaming free. It is a quiet and peaceful place as opposed to the noise and bustle of downtown. The downside is the distance from Nairobi, to Jomo Kenyatta airport is between one and one and a half hour’s drive depending on traffic in the city. The lodge does arrange transfers for around US$50.
