“Great place!”
Victor is super helpful and very nice. The surroundings are very beautiful, view of Kilimanjaro, among Masai villages. Lots of cattle. On the way here we saw giraffes, gazelles and zebras. Close to another place that has a restorant. The road here is not the easiest, maybe there are other ways.

“Amazing view to Mount Kilimanjaro”
victors breakfast panels were lovely. He also organised a tour to the Masai. You can easily walk there. The view to Mount Kilimanjaro is fantastic and the Amboseli National Parkbis a 10 minutes drive away. It was very clean and the internet was great too. I really enjoy being there and I even stayed a day longer.

“Large house, near Amboseli”
Very large accommodation, could even sleep 6. Views must be spectacular, but unfortunately it was cloudy, so we didn't see Kilimanjaro. Near the entrance of Amboseli national park. Friendly caretaker, who spoke limited English. Cute birds visiting in the morning. Surrounded by Maasai villages.

Nice and charmful 3-bedroom accomodation in a very quit place near Amboseli Nationalpark Iremito Gate. Kitchen and dining area are very well equipped. Great to relax after a game drive. Mt. Kilimanjaro is visible during sunrise/morning hours.

“It's value for money and I'm now a fan. I won't be embarrassed to recommend this place to others.”
It was a self-catering place and had everything we needed to prepare the cooked food we had already carried for our trip. When we arrived, the caretaker was already on hand to welcome us. He respected our privacy, so as soon as he saw that we were settling in, he made himself scarce. Sure, the water pressure was low and the freezer wasn't cold, but that's because of the general location itself, so it's not a deal breaker at all. My sister and I were respectful of conserving electricity and water. Any guest who comes should be aware of this and manage their expectations. The important thing is that we had a restful and comfortable stay in the Red House. We had a fantastic view of Mount Kilimanjaro. The breeze was refreshing. The owner was very responsive to my queries. I had a bit of a challenge driving on the corrugated dirt road. Took me longer than expected, again nothing to do with the accommodations itself, but any visitor should be aware that they really need a 4x4 to get to the location. I will be a repeat visitor, for sure. Can't wait to return with friends in the near future.

“Breathtaking location”
The real selling point of this is it's location. The views of kilimanjaro are breathtaking, and it's proximity to the national park is great. Eating breakfast and dinner, or relaxing in the porch with these views are out of this world. The company recommended by the hosts for game drives were excellent and thoroughly recommend their services. The on site staff were helpful and friendly. All communication ahead was prompt.
