Simply amazing. It's a true paradise on earth, to be on a lodge that is completely green in a desert.

The always flowing water from a nearby oasis makes this a paradise in Africa. The road there is also very smooth.

The food is great and also has a wide selection to choose from. The pool and rooms are very clean.
The massage by Carol is amazing.
I recommend the fish pedicure
The terrain leading to the lodge is accessible with small cars but would advise one with good clearance.

Great lodge in Kenya's wilderness. Great food, drinks, very clean rooms. Men, the shower is heavenly.

You will be under that shower for one hour minimum. All the vegetables come from their organic garden that is within the lodge premises. In the middle of a hot, dry semi desert is an oasis called Sarova Shaba

Fantastic service, good food and brilliant customer service from the Manager, Mr. Alex. The fish massage is an exceptional experience.

And for the nature lovers and those who hike, I recommend the 'ranger-guided' treks in the wild

My wife and I spent two nights @Shaba with a group of friends, and celebrated 10years of our marriage this past weekend.

The service was simply great. Executed with brilliance, singularity of care and refreshing kindness. Perhaps the richest of our experiences was an organic pedicure by a school of fish, thanks to @Alex Namunje. Those little things not only cleaned my feet but really tickled my funny bone. A wonderful experience indeed
