Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

My husband, daughter, brother and sister in law spent four glorious days at sarova shaba. We enjoyed the hotel ambience. It was very peaceful and respectful of nature. The adjoining rooms we had were great. We really appreciated the turn down service every night. The staff were all the courteous and friendly. The spa was amazing. My husband had a deep tissue massage and my sister in law, daughter and I had pedicures. We also all enjoyed fish therapy. A guide was kind enough to join us on a safari to help us find the animals.HOWEVER...the highlight of our trip was the food. Chef Robert did an amazing job with the menu we were not disappointed meal after meal. We especially enjoyed the boiled goat which we had our first night. Chef Robert came out to the dinning area and mingled with guests. He was instrumental in helping us celebrate our daughters 5th birthday. We will definitely be back to Shaba! Also want ensure I mention Chef Edwin who was in charge of breakfast and that didnt disappoint either!

Beautiful grounds; definitely lodgy. Loved the water flowing all throughout, and down to the river - seemingly one connected body. It was a peaceful setting, and very cool to see crocs and other wildlife on the river that ran in front of the lodges (with an electric fence separating us, of course). Seeing the mischevious vervets and baboons running around the property was also fun. The food was plentiful, with selections to fit pretty much every palate, and the service was wonderful. The rooms were OK - bedroom area was nice enough but the bathrooms were basic...however they served the purpose. I wasn't a fan of not having any type of curtain or shade covering the bathroom window (frosted glass only), or especially of having a frosted glass pane next to the front door...that made me feel kind of vulnerable since anyone could look in and see "enough" if they wanted to.

The View was reminiscent of the amazon with a river(albeit much smaller) out the front of our room. The staff were very good and attentive, the room was OK,again pillows really soft. It still bewilders me that a room for two people only provide a place for one bag to be opened and the second bag inevitably ends on the floor? The dining area was pleasant enough but they kept moving where you could find salad and desert. The pool was nice and quiet - but at the end of the day we were here for the wildlife not the accommodation!

Travelled with my family to Sarova Shaba in July. It is one of the most beautiful hotels I have visited. Great reception on arrival. Professional and friendly staff. They made our stay wonderful. The food was the best. The chef was very friendly and always asked for feedback from everyone. Overall, we had a great stay.

Who would expect to find a wonderful ,splendid and awesome place in a middle of nowhere . Really worth the travel.Awesome and great delicious food .loved the breakfast. Wonderful staff. Worth the money .Worth the trip. Worth the fun.✌️

Great ambience and place to relax. You move from ‘The wilderness’ to an Oais (lodge) next to the ballooning river that makes you sleep as if it’s raining outside. The staff are excellent and offer 110% support for the family . Out of this world special meal was made for us by Chef Meshack, Chef Robert and Chef Edwin. The Mutton choma (charcoal grilled) was exceptionally good.
