First off - the website portrayed an entirely different resort. One that looked like intimate outdoor dining (it was a food hall that could easily seat 300. It boasted morning and evening wild game drives. We had to arrange and pay for that separately. The cabins had such poor lighting that we had to use our headlamps inside the tents at night. Even getting there was a fiasco. For starters there was a big communication breakdown with our driver arranged through the hotel who was to pick us up at Amboseli air field. When he didn't show, I messaged the hotel because they never provided his number to me. The hotel said - he's there at the air field now. He wasn't. It was completely empty except for us and the 2 rangers babysitting us because they couldn't leave 2 tourists there on the savanna with the wildlife. After messaging back and forth for an hour - our driver finally showed up. The rangers were NOT happy. Once at the hotel - the service was okay - at our first lunch the dining hall (yes it is vast) was nearly empty so we sat down at a table on the edge that had 3 place settings. The waitress asked us to move to a table with 2 place settings. We did but to a table right next to where the line queued. The original table sat empty our entire meal. The hotel was "all-inclusive" but the meals provided only coffee or hot water for tea - no water or chilled drinks without extra payment. Lastly with regard to service - we each had a backpack and a 20 KG duffle. Our room was as far as possible from reception. Three porters fell all over themselves to separately collect our bags from the driveway and walk with them 15 feet to reception expecting a tip. But when it was time to take bags to the room - a full ten minute walk from reception - they vanished and we hauled our own bags. Same for departure, no one was available to help with bags until we literally got with 10 feet of reception and 2 porters rush up to collect and carry our bags the last ten feet?...

I paid USD 280 for the hotel’s “sundowner service” (minimum 7 pax charge – we only had 3 pax but still agreed to pay). We specifically requested less food, better quality to avoid waste. However, the experience was completely disappointing: Setup • Arranged in a common area with many other guests walking around – no privacy, no exclusivity. • Sunset view was blocked by trees. A sundowner should be about enjoying the sunset in a nice, private setting – this was the opposite. • Paying USD 280 just to sit in a public space and eat in front of other guests? Totally unacceptable.

Food & Drinks • Only fish fillet, chicken wings, and chips were served. • Drinks: 1 opened bottle of wine, 2 beers, and a few soft drinks – that’s it. • For USD 280 (supposedly for 7 pax), this is ridiculous. Even though we were 3 pax, the quality should have matched the price. Instead, it felt cheap and careless.

Attitude of Staff • When we gave immediate feedback, we were told: “That’s all the meals and drinks. If you want more, you have to pay extra.” • After paying so much already, this response was shocking. No effort to resolve, no hospitality, just dismissiveness.

Management Response • The manager said: “What you see is what you see. We can provide more options if you ask.” • This makes no sense. Isn’t it basic common sense that a sundowner should include proper food, drinks, and atmosphere without us having to instruct them on how to do their job?

This was a total scam and a complete waste of money. USD 280 for this insulting experience is unacceptable. I cannot believe a hotel would dare to sell such a pathetic excuse of a “sundowner.” Do not waste...

Кемп находится за пределами парка Амбосели, хоть и рядом. Территория огорожена, у ворот будка с охранником. Рецепшн у ворот, открытое помещение. Обмен валют, сувенирный магазинчик. Предлагают полотенчик для рук, напиток, все по-взрослому. Для палаточного лагеря очень цивильно. Каменные дорожки, вдоль дорожек подстриженные кусты, деревья, цветы. Вечером зажигаются фонарики. Тенты пронумерованы, на развилке указатель с названиями «улиц».||Мне достался тент на улице Самбуру, не очень далеко от ресторана. Пол – цемент, поверх плитка. Палатка (тент) большая, потолок высокий. В стенах большие окна из мелкой сетки. На ветру стенки тента слегка колышутся, лампа над входом поскрипывает. Вход/полог в тент закрывается на три молнии, маленький замочек на манер почтовых. Прихожая: открытый шкафчик, полка для сумок. Справа капитальная стена, там умывальник, туалет, душевая кабина. Комната разделена перегородкой высотой по грудь. Сразу от входа письменный стол с табуретом, большое зеркало, фен (в ящичке), чайничек, бутылочки с водой. За перегородкой две кровати, в углу напольная лампа и два походных стула, на потолке вентилятор. Дверей нет, занавесы. Мухи жужжат за стенкой, первая реакция, что внутри тента. Противомоскитной сетки над кроватью нет, обрабатывают спреями, за две ночи никаких насекомых не было. Вечером поднялся сильный ветер, занавеси на окнах вздуваются. Хорошо, что кровати две, стащила себе оба одеяла. Взять с собой фонарик не помешает, ночью тьма кромешная.||Электричество в кемпе по расписанию: утром с 5 до 8:30, днем с 12:30 до 14 и вечером с 18 до 22:30. Горячая вода тоже. Завтрак с 6 до 9, ланч с 12:30 до 15, ужин с 19:30 до 21.||Ресторан открытый под крышей. Шведский стол. Приборы как в ресторане, столы под скатерками.||Примерное меню: ||На завтрак молочная каша, что порадовало. Остальное как везде. Чай-кофе, соки не пробовала. Молоко горячее и холодное, в Кении чай с молоком пьют. Хлопья, йогурт, жарят яичницу. Сосиски, бекон жареный, всякая разная ерунда, овощи и т.п. Фрукты, арбуз и манго, бананы. Десерт: кексы и т.п.||Ланч. Суп-пюре из моркови, бульон из ягненка. Картофель отварной, масала из гороха со специями, но совсем не остро. Говядина тушеная, рыба-филе. Салат/нарезка овощей (капуста, огурцы), соусы для салата. Из фруктов манго и арбуз. Пирожные на десерт. Чай-кофе всегда бесплатно, остальные напитки за плату (тоник 150 шиллингов). Блинчики пекут, но странные, тесто как на пельмени, соответственно и блины жестковатые, но съедобные. Сладкие соусы к блинам. Отдельный повар готовит пасту из каких-то макарошек.||На ужин снова два вида супов (других), тушеные овощи, картофель жареный, говядина в подливе, мясо на гриле, салаты, фрукты. Из фруктов добавилась маракуйя.||Советую на завтрак прийти пораньше, чтобы осталось время понаблюдать за птицами. Их в этом кемпе множество (в других ничего похожего не было), недалеко от ресторана для птиц сделаны домики, кормушка стоит. Вообще, птицы поют-чирикают-свиристят весь день, но зная время кормления активизируются. Перелетают с дерева на дерево, слетаются к поливалке попить водички. Можно сделать неплохие кадры, в другое время они могут быть высоко на деревьях. Птицы пугливые, не смотря на прикорм. Тем не менее рассмотрела вблизи, разобралась кто как «болтает». Птиц с хохолком, похожий на кореллу, о-очень забавно кричит. Другой птиц имеет большущий клюв, как у тукана. Хороши мелкие ярко-синие с переливом пичуги. Пеструхи (названий не знаю, не биолог) склевали все цветы на одном из деревьев. Я только успела сфотографировать, цветочков уже нет. Есть еще совсем мелкие птахи вроде воробьев. По земле бегают не то дрофы, не то еще какие куропатки. Трусливые до ужаса. Пришла девушка, насыпала в кормушку хлеба. Слетелись птицы, прибежали три мангуста. Эти вообще, удрали в кусты, схватив хлеб, только одно фото успела сделать. Гонялась за ними как папарацци за кинозвездами, фиг вам. Успешно скрылись. Зато клювастый позировал невозмутимо, как политик со стажем.||Днем довольно тепло, если солнышко, до футболки раздеться можно, ночью резко холодает. На завтрак/ужин все тепло одеты.||По вечерам на круглой площадке недалеко от ресторана зажигают костер, вокруг стулья. Также есть небольшой бассейн, но вода без подогрева, желающих искупаться немного.||В ясную погоду в некоторых местах, где не заслоняют деревья, виден Килиманджаро (вулкан часто скрыт облаками, так что...

This was a very disappointing and unfair experience, by far the worst of my entire trip. We prepaid about $300 for accommodation and an additional $280 for the Sundowner service. However, just a few hours before our arrival, the hotel suddenly demanded more money, claiming we had to pay for 7 people even though there were only 3 of us. Although this made no sense, we reluctantly agreed since it was our last day in Kenya. Upon arrival, we were taken to a very small public platform that was already overcrowded. To our surprise, every other guest there had free access, while we had paid a hefty fee. When we complained, the staff and manager simply replied, “That’s our standard,” without providing any reasonable explanation. The food offered was extremely cheap, just repackaged from the hotel’s regular buffet dinner. When we asked again why we had paid $280 for nothing more than a crowded public space and buffet leftovers, the manager could not answer and refused to refund us. This experience left me feeling deceived and insulted. The service and management here are nowhere near worth the price they charge. Strongly NOT recommended.

Our stay was ok. The proximity to the national park is a great plus for all who want to see wild animals. The rooms are mostly tent like, i.e. no brick houses, but tents that have a proper bed and bathroom inside. thee are a few brick apartments, but they cost extra. So bring mosquito spray with you. The property has a pool, and and Kilimanjaro view point in the backyard which is cool. The food is good for a short day (especially the soups), but gets quite boring after time (we had 2 nights there).

Very nice and comfortable stay at Sentrim. The staff is extremely attentive to our needs and greet with a smile. The food is good and the chef provides a good variety. John, Eric, Lenin and Jackson were very helpful with details on the place and suggestions for making our stay better. Special shout out for Diana at the restaurant . She really looked after us and the kids making sure that the children ate properly.
