One of the original old lodges.
Voi Safari Lodge is set on a red rock bluff overlooking a water hole and a large expanse of Tsavo East National Park.
It curves along the edge of the cliff thus providing a marvellous view from everywhere dinning room, terrace, pool, and bedrooms. Natural rock has been used to construct the walls and floors with gourd lamps and wooden animal carvings in the open lounge and bar.
Each of the rooms has an entire wall of windows, private bathroom, and shower. The walkway leading to the pool is made of bare rock leading through gardens to the viewpoint at the edge of the cliff.
Unique Quality: From the lodge, you can look out onto the two water holes and see the ever-changing panorama of Africa unfold right before your eyes. There is a special 'hide' for camera enthusiasts, affording close-up and candid pictures of the wild animals.

The Voi Safari Lodge is 5KM inside the park from the Voi Gate.
The lodge is at a rocky hill and has a nice view at a pool and an endless plain.
Be carefull, during the breakfast are toast- stealing baboons around. During the night we didn't close the curtains because we could see the floodlighted pool from our bed. It's a pity we didn't see any animal. The only thing we heard were a lot of frogs.
As I've said in previous sections my main concern in Kenya is with the people. In fact in several visits to the country we've only done one safari!. It was a one-day affair and we travelled through Tsavo East Park to Voi Lodge. We were so impressed that in 2003 we intend to do at least a night at the place. The picture below is from the special hide that you access via a steep flight of stone steps and an underground tunnel. Right in front is a waterhole at which all sorts of animals drink. Having made our way back up from this particular shot a whole herd of elephants arrived, but I was too tired to trek back down (wasn't so well into VT then!). You also have a superb panoramic view of the park from the lodge itself.
Kenya is one of the major loves of my life. Having vowed for years never to holiday in Africa believing that it had nothing to interest me, I have now been four times in five years. Each visit is designed essentially to meet Ouma, a child that we sponsor, who lives in Nyanza District west of Kisumu. We have made many friends there and stay at the very African "Sunset Hotel", overlooking Lake Victoria (the views alone are worth a visit).
Each holiday has incorporated a visit and usually a party at Ouma's village, and a beach stay at a better hotel. The above photograph is of the Indian Ocean from The Bamburi Beach Hotel north of Mombassa.
We have now indulged in two safaris and they were superb! Both were spent at Voi Lodge in Tsavo National Park.
We have never had any problems from locals who, to a westerner, may seem initially intimidating. They stare only because they are curious, once the ice is broken you'll usually find a friend for life!
