We had the most unbelievable stay at Ujima Safari Lodge and genuinely couldn’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, Stephanie, the owner, and Frankie, the manager, made us feel less like guests and more like family coming to stay after a long time apart. The warmth, care and attention from the whole team made our stay so incredibly special. The lodge itself is beautiful, and one of the things we loved most was how immersed in nature you feel even when you’re not out on safari. Seeing zebras, warthogs and other wildlife right around the lodge was just magical and made every day feel special from the moment we woke up. The food was absolutely incredible, every meal was something to look forward to, we also had massages during our stay, which were the perfect way to relax after being out early for game drives. This was our first ever safari, and Reinhardt, our safari guide, made the whole experience completely unforgettable. His knowledge was unmatched — he seemed to know absolutely everything about the animals, birds, landscape and environment around us, and his passion for it all was infectious. We learned so much from him and felt incredibly lucky to have him as our guide. As this was our first safari, we really didn’t know what to expect, but Ujima completely exceeded everything we could have imagined. If we’re lucky enough to do another safari one day, we honestly wouldn’t even think about staying anywhere else. You can tell how much heart has gone into creating this place, and it’s only going to become more and more amazing. Stephanie, Frankie, Reinhardt and the whole team truly do it justice. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll genuinely never forget. We already hope we can come back one day!

Absolutely everything! We travel a lot and have stayed in many beautiful places, but Ujima Lodge truly stood out as an outstanding experience. We loved the beautiful design of the lodge, which blends luxury with the surrounding nature while still feeling warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive and genuinely welcoming, making us feel more like guests in a beautiful private home than visitors at a lodge. The food was fantastic too- every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared and clearly made with care. The whole experience felt personal, relaxed and authentic, while still being incredibly comfortable and special. We loved that we could bespoke our excursions and safari there so we could also find the time to relax! Animals are free to roam around the lodge and this is what it made it extra special!

Honestly, nothing. We genuinely couldn’t fault anything! everything was thoughtfully done and we only wished we could have stayed longer!

Cet établissement est un rêve absolu ! Quel bonheur et quelle chance d’avoir pu y séjourner ! Nous avons tout adoré de notre séjour chez Ujima Lodge. Tout d’abord, la décoration est somptueuse, on se sent incroyablement bien, la piscine est magnifique, les chambres sont ultra confortables. Ensuite la nourriture : c’était un festin à chaque repas, on s’est régalé tout du long, c’était incroyable !! Ensuite le personnel : tout le monde est absolument adorable, aux petits soins, chaque détail compte, nous avons vraiment beaucoup apprécié leur présence et leurs attentions. Les safaris : des moments d’émotion hors du temps dans cette belle savane. La réserve permet d’observer des animaux incroyables hors des sentiers battus. On a pu y observer le fameux Big Five ! On se souviendra pendant longtemps de ces moments hors du temps. Enfin Stéphanie, l’hôte est adorable, gentille, attentionnée, donne plein de conseils et organise tous les safaris pour nous ! C’était PARFAIT ! Merci pour tout ! Nous étions là 4 nuits pour notre honey moon et c’était un paradis. Nous étions tellement tristes de partir. Nous avons envie de revenir. It was above expectation !!

Rien à redire

Beautiful, intimate lodge with a warm, family-style atmosphere. The rooms were lovely, the food was exceptional and the staff were incredibly attentive, friendly and accommodating. They genuinely made us feel at home and went above and beyond to make my birthday special including Franky baking me a birthday cake! The different dining setups were also a lovely touch, and the game drive was a highlight.

Very little! One small improvement would be having a designated shelf or holder in the shower for soaps and toiletries.
