Tsavo West slice of heaven
The stay was incredible! As you walk into the reception area you will be shocked by the view. The eating area is an open air area that has the most incredible view and is situated around the watering hole so that you can watch the animals approach as you eat. The service was incredible and the food amazing. The rooms were nice as well. The only issue with the room is that the fan is not above the bed and the nights were HOT. This, sadly is the issue I could find with the place. It was the most amazing place, but I found it hard to sleep while so hot.
