Unbelievable Nature and lovely Staff

It was just stunning. It is not easy to come there but it’s worth the effort. Stunning view in the middle of the tea bushes. The Lodge also has tours to offer for a very low price. And the staff, WOW, they were just amazing all over. We loved it there and felt home in the first second.

Outstanding hospitality by Rose, Peter and Gladys. Peter makes amazing food, which I have to recommend. If you are looking for a quiet place, outside of the city Rangers view lodge is a place for you

Cool and relaxing

Hands down the best and freshest food we had in our two week journey through Kenya. Locally farmed chicken, fresh vegetables and tea farmed just behind the property.  This is not your usual holiday destination. Its in the Kenyan highlands and we didnt see any foreign tourists there which made it even more special. We had a huge suite with 2 double beds. The hotel is locally ownded and managed. The Kenyan highlands are an agricultural paradise, fresh fruit and vegetables and miles and miles of tea plantations. The weather is cool and the scenery stunning. We stayed here to access Abedare Park but the closest gate was inaccessible and we had to drive 50 miles away to Treetops Gate. This location is worthy of a visit, the Chinga Dam is very picturesque. The staff, Rose and Peter the chef are fantastic and a real credit to the hotel. Will definitely visit again.
