Hotels in der Nähe von Manjaro Tented Camp, Amboseli

We arrived just in time for lunch after a long drive from Nairobi and immediately after checking in went straight into the restaurant. The lunch buffet was not very appetising being made up of mainly spicey wet dishes. Nonetheless we all managed to find something to eat. I ordered a beer and some soft drinks with lunch and was informed that the lodge had no beer. At dinner, the buffet was similar to what we had been given at lunch time. It appeared that the channa dhal curry which was served for lunch was now mixed with green lentils to make it look like a different curry. I again asked for a beer and was told that they still had no beer but if I could give them Ksh1000 they could buy me 2 beers from the driver’s canteen, fortunately I had some Kenyan shillings and was able to do this. To add insult to injury both main dishes on the buffet were finished and there were still people to be fed. The chef eventually came back with a pork stir fry and it happened that neither myself and a couple of the other guests didn’t eat pork. The chef came back with vegetable stir fry for some of the guests but nothing for me. After I complained again the chef came back and offered me some fried fish. By this time my family had already finished their dinner. The same saga continued on day 2 of our stay. Still no beer in the restaurant however having learnt from the day before we made sure that we were in the restaurant at opening time so that we at least didn’t miss out on food again. The property is in a great location and our stay could have been considerably improved and more comfortable if the issues mentioned above were attended to. The accommodation was just OK. The entire lodge needs an immediate refurbishment. The staff at both properties were very willing and helpful but without the stock on hand there isn’t much that they can do. There appears to be a major problem with the management at this property.

Die Lage des Hotels ist besonders gut mit Blick auf den Kilimandscharo. Der Blick aus dem Fenster ist das Xuefeng, das uns bewundern ließ, und es fühlt sich an wie ”Xiling-Schnee im Fenster”. Öffnen Sie die Tür und gehen Sie hinaus, die Aussicht ist sehr weit. Elefanten, Zebras, Gnus und Antilopen sind auf dem weiten Grasland mit dem Kilimanjaro als Hintergrund verstreut. Soweit ich sehen kann, gibt es einen See, Schwärme von Flamingos und anderen Wasservögeln. Wachen Sie um 5 oder 6 Uhr morgens auf, um Elefanten, Gnus und Büffel zu sehen, die sich langsam vom Fuß des Kilimanjaro entlang ihrer jeweiligen Routen aufreihen. Wenn Sie ein Teleobjektiv tragen, können Sie mit etwas Glück auch die spannende Szene einer Löwenjagd sehen. Der Preis des Hotels beinhaltet drei Mahlzeiten, aber in der Bestellung von Ctrip wurde angegeben, dass keine Mahlzeiten enthalten sind. Ohne die Erinnerung des Kellners hätten wir viel verloren.
