We took the SGR Train and were picked up from the train station and driven straight to the lodge – a seamless and very welcoming start to our stay.||The lodge is beautifully located on a hilltop and what a view! Pure serenity at its best. The peaceful atmosphere and sweeping landscapes instantly make you feel relaxed and connected to nature.||The welcome was warm and genuinely hospitable. We were greeted with a refreshing lemon and baobab juice, which was a lovely touch. The manager personally introduced us to the main staff members we would be interacting with, so at no point did we feel lost or unsure of who to approach. A heartfelt thank you to General Manager Douglas, Camp Manager Adam and his assistant Phylis, and the reception team Maggie and Tracy. Every time you pass by, you are welcomed with a smile.||The lodge itself is spacious, luxurious, and incredibly comfortable. It doesn’t feel overwhelming or over the top — just tasteful luxury blended with warmth and comfort that truly makes you feel at home.||The rooms are sheer bliss, with a beautiful verandah offering views of the surrounding landscape and a distant waterhole where animals come to drink. The comfortable swing, verandah furniture and full glass windows that open out to the savannah create a perfect indoor–outdoor experience. The rooms are equipped with both air conditioning and a fan to keep you cool. The bathrooms are spacious and feature both indoor and outdoor showers. The rooms are also well equipped with a safe, tea and coffee facilities, a fully stocked minibar and delightful snacks. A special thank you to our housekeeper, Florian — he was an absolute blessing. Being a little phobic of creepy crawlies (as expected in the wild!), he was always just a call away and helped us with a smile, making us feel completely secure. Thank you, Florian!||The camp’s infinity pool offers stunning views of the savannah and the waterhole, so you never miss the chance to spot animals coming in to drink. The pool is heated, large, and spotlessly clean, with fresh towels always available.||Now, the food — simply outstanding. Group Executive Chef Sylvester and his talented team, along with Simon and the wonderful restaurant and bar staff — Daniel, Cosmos, Douglas and the rest of the team — thank you for the most amazing dining experience. The variety and options can be overwhelming in the best possible way, tempting you to try a bit of everything. Portions are perfectly balanced, and the team is incredibly accommodating, always happy to tweak dishes to suit your preferences. The food was simply divine, and I sincerely blame Chef Sylvester for the extra kilograms thanks to such delicious yet healthy meals! Thank you to the bar team for the fantastic cocktails — you truly rock.||The Hide experience is an absolute must and should be included in your package. Being able to watch animals drinking water up close was magical. The hide even has beds for those who want to spend the night, with tea and coffee facilities available — such a unique and unforgettable experience.||As for game drives, it’s good to note that the Taita area is vast and dry, so sightings can be touch and go. However, we were lucky enough to see cheetahs, lions, many elephants and zebras. I highly recommend the night game drive — it is an extraordinary experience. Huge praise to Jacob, our night game drive spotter, who deserves 100/10 for his incredible “eagle eyes.” We saw lions, owls, serval/genet cats, a puff adder and many other animals. Our driver, Muashi, was caring, professional and extremely knowledgeable.||Soroi truly goes out of its way to spoil and pamper its guests. Each guest is entitled to a 30-minute massage, and I can confidently say — do not miss it. Rosebela is magical with her hands. Thank you for such a relaxing experience.||All in all, Soroi Lions Bluff is the perfect place to relax, be pampered and feel completely at home. I would not only return in a heartbeat, but I highly recommend it. Lions Bluff, you have truly nailed hospitality in every way.||Thank you for an unforgettable stay and experience.
