Man-Eaters Lodge Tsavo

Man-Eaters Lodge Tsavo, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Tsavo River, is where the legends of the past meet the luxury of the present. This lodge, named after the notorious lions that once roamed these lands, provides an exclusive safari experience in the heart of Tsavo East and West National Parks. With 31 tents, each designed for comfort and equipped with en-suite bathrooms, Man-Eaters offers a blend of wilderness and indulgence.

The tents are more than just places to sleep; they are your personal vantage points to observe the daily theatre of nature. Each tent features four-poster beds with mosquito nets, offering both protection and a touch of romance. The family tents cater to those traveling with children or in small groups, providing additional sleeping arrangements without compromising on luxury.

The environment around each tent encourages a sense of peace, with the sounds of the river and the distant calls of wildlife creating a natural lullaby. The balconies, fitted with sunbeds and lounge chairs, are perfect spots to watch the world go by, whether it’s elephants at dusk or the morning’s first light on the river.

The common areas of the lodge are equally engaging. The lounge, with its rustic charm and panoramic views, becomes a social hub or a quiet place to reflect. The restaurant, with its stunning views and intimate lighting, turns dining into an event, while the Simba Mbili Bar offers a laid-back atmosphere where stories of the day’s adventures are shared over drinks.
