It was Next to the River and You could See Elephants come to graze and drink water from the comfort of the Hotel. The Staff especially Daniel was Amazing . Very Hospitable and helpful. The food was great but overpriced . Breakfast was also good with different options to choose from.

“Unpleasant”
Location was not clear and the reservation and hotel numbers were never picked up when we called.I called 27 times on the reservation number and then the numbers on the hotel website only one was picked but the user said that the hotel wrongly uses their number and have requested that change of number for 3 years without any change. This left us lost and stranded until we paid someone from archers post town to take us to Ashnil. We finally arrived at midnight. In the morning we gave feedback to the manager a lady and she was not professional at all. In short she lacked the hospitality attitude

“Delightful stay in a magical place, with wonderful staff and the best massage”
It was so calm and relaxing! I liked the tents with a lot of space and private sitting area. You can even see animals through the fence if you are lucky! We saw an elephant and a giraffe. We were there to celebrate our anniversary and they brought live music on our first night and a lovely decorated plate. Lovely detail. Also, the food was amazing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with plenty of options including vegetarian. If you have food allergies better check in advance though. I had the best massage ever with Rachel. She literally made all the tension of my body disappear. I was going for a 30 min massage initially but extended for a full hour because it was so good. My husband also enjoyed the massage. The staff was amazing and the highlight. All of them super nice: the lady at the reception, Abdi our room attendant, Marundu from the bar (not sure if I spelled the name right, but this man was a lot of fun and his vibe was amazing! He made us enjoy our afternoon beers even more!) Elvis from the restaurant, Roba from security, Hussain the safari driver, and every single employee at the hotel! I wish I had written all the names down to write a special thank you to each one of them because they all made our stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Always nice to us and super helpful.

“-”
The staff were friendly and helpful at the hotel. Bed is comfortable and the facilities in the room are in good condition. The hotel is next to river bank and the elephants come to drink sometimes. We saw herds of elephants on the way back from game drive near the hotel.

Really loved the stay. The camp is in Buffalo Springs not Samburu but this was no problem - we had two days self drive safari in Buffalo Springs and Shaba and saw Lion, Cheetah and Leopard with the help of a ranger which Ashnil organised. Food and service was great. Great value for money.

“Poor and unprofessional management - Beware of Manager Daniel if you are a tourist”
I liked the scenery and the room. We were able to spot a lot of elephants, which was very nice.
