Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp

This was a truly magical camp and one of the highlights of our trip. The tents are simple but spacious and clean and hearing all the nature noises at night is just amazing. The setting for dinner was absolutely spectacular: right next to the reservoir, which is lighted by some spotlights and highlighting the tree at the other side and its reflection, on the tree a massive amount of egrets (white birds) makes it look like the whole tree has been lighted or it's in bloom. The egrets sleep all night there and take off in the early morning, which is also an amazing spectacle to view. The food variety is limited, but of very good quality, so we were all happy with it. The service was also excellent. The one thing we all felt that was lacking was a comfortable sitting area for chilling out by the reservoir, where the fire pit or the smoking areas were. We would probably have spent some more time (and money at the bar) before and after dinner if there had been somewhere to hang around pre and after dinner time. Another highlight of our trip was the nature walk with the ranger, waking so near crocodiles and hippos was an exciting experience. The night game drive was also very exciting. We entered into Tsavo West and made a day excursion to Mzima springs and the Shetani lava flows, which was a very scenic trip, crossing a variety of landscapes, including a palm tree forest, which was beautiful. On our safari we saw elephants, lionesses, zebras, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, dik-diks (the sweetest of them all!!), ostriches, buffalo, eagles, giraffes, and some more I can't remember just now. The trip from Amboseli was through a very bumpy road, but really worth it, as you see what real rural Kenya is like and you get rewarded at the end with an amazing stay a Ziwani. Our guide Timan (from Kichaka tours and travels), was really good company and very knowledgeable.

Brilliant experience from start to finish. Exceptionally clean throughout with swift and unobstrusive room cleaning. Tasty drinks made by Jim-James at the bar, who spoke to us about Kenyan culture and local wildlife. Our game drives in the local area revealed many giraffes, impala, zebras, dikdik, elephants and beautiful birds. However the highlight was the walking safari, where experienced Masai guide Steven took around the bush to see hippos, crocs, giraffes and zebras up close. Every evening egrets come to roost in the beautiful tree by the lake, and hippos yawn and play as you eat your dinner. The food is delicious and high quality, there is a short menu but it’s all very tasty. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have everything you need. Calling this place two stars is absolutely not reflective of how memorable and amazing our stay was. The staff are very kind and attentive. We look forward to returning!

Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp is nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The setting itself is stunning - the abundance of wildlife within the lodge grounds, namely hippos and crocs, makes it all the more special. Watching animals roam freely from the comfort of the camp added a special touch to the trip. Voyager Ziwani also offer activities free of charge - night safaris and walking safaris were highlights of our stay. These were led by highly knowledgeable and experienced guides who shared their insights about the area’s flora and fauna. Not to mention, all this against the backdrop of the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. The amount of wildlife around the lodge itself without even entering the national park Tsavo West, which not to mention is a stone throw away from the Accomodation, makes it easier to spot animals. Every detail of this place radiates charm and authenticity, making it a perfect getaway for anyone seeking adventure, tranquility, and a connection with nature. Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp is a gem, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone planning a trip to this part of the world!
