I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get away from city life. If you want a Safari experience without the fear of being moulded by predators this is your place. The service is impeccable, with very friendly staff. The rooms are clean and quite spacious. The area is quiet and allows for one to connect with nature. Also there is a gym which is available 24/7, so don't worry about gaining weight. There are lounges for one to relax and unwind, Kukura Spa is also a very great place to destress but I will review the spa on its own, and a variety of drinks are available upon request. The food is divine, I was impressed by all the meals provided, the flavour profile and the portion size was quite enough. And Kilima is where you will have the best Cheese Cake ever.

Excuisite service and attention to detail. On arrival we were greeted by Anelia and Pearl. They made us feel right at home. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the information displayed in the room. Welcome drinks and snacks were provided. All the staff makes sure they greet you with a smile. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is excellent! From presentation to taste! What an amazing experience! The game drive done by Martin was lovely with beautiful view points to have some snacks and drinks at. The Nkole cows were impressive and not something you see everyday. We also saw some white impala. The baobab deck is truly spectacular with an amazing view. Elsie, Maria and Edison went out of their way to make my partners birthday as memorable as possible. They even baked her a cake! Dinner was amazing. The lodge is well maintained and definitely up to standard. The massages done by Cembile and Dorothy is a must have!! They are extremely well trained. Kukuru Spa is beautiful and well layed out. You can also visit the Tranquility room to unwind. Thank you Pearl for making the reservation and putting together a special package for us. Thank you Tessa for all the information and chats. We really had an amazing time and will definitely be back! This was in unforgettable experience.

What a stunning place! The rooms are beautiful and exceptionally sparkling clean. Everything is organised perfectly. The staff and everyone one working here is so friendly, helpful and welcoming. You feel instantly at home when you arrive. The Lodge, garden, rooms, restaurant and main entrance is absolutely stunning. Everything is maintained beautifully. The food was amazing. It’s 5 star fine dining style. The chef’s even surprised me with a special birthday day cake they’ve planned in secret for me. Thank you to chef Maria, chef Eliot and everyone in the kitchen. Elsie is a wonderful hostess, she helped with everything and she is so welcoming and friendly. Kilima is a really special place, you have to visit Kilima to experience it because words can’t explain it. Kukura spa is one of the best I have experienced in a long time. The layout is stunning. You relax immediately when you arrive there. The ladies working there is professional, friendly and really well trained and absolutely great in their job. They know how to massage!!! Thank you Dorothy and Cebile. Thank you Pearl for making our booking a smooth check in and flawless process. Thank you Kilima for a great stay. We will be back!!!
