Voi Safari Lodge

 

Perched on the top of a cliff-faced hill, Voi Safari Lodge is uniquely designed to be a hinge-like structure overlooking Kenya's Tsavo East plains extending as far as the undulating terrain of the Yatta Plateaus. This vantage positioning of the lodge has made it a stopover for many safari adventurers, nature lovers and holiday makers who are assured of sampling Kenya's wildlife attractions that continuously beat a track to the three waterholes sunk by the lodge below the cliff.  During the dry season the waterholes are the convergence of a lot of wild animals moving almost in a trance as if urged on by some kind of telepathic communication - the sight is just fantastic. The location evokes a romantic inspiration that once moved a visiting British poet who now incorporated his experience at the lodge in most of his poems, to describe it as "sample of wonder that is better than a dream." Each of the rustic rooms has an entire wall of windows, private bathroom, and shower. The walkway leading to the pool is made of bare rock leading through gardens to the viewpoint at the edge of the cliff. In addition, there is a special "hide" for camera enthusiasts, affording close-up and candid pictures of the wild animals.
