Homestays in Taita-Taveta, Kenya

I first went to Kilaguni on November 15 2024. I was there for a short work visit but I was truly impressed by the incredible views on Kili as well as the immense wildlife that would visit the watering hole which was in clear view from the hotel's lobby as well as the deluxe rooms. I also got to meet Dorcas Muchemi the kind, eloquent and very helpful receptionist. She made the checking in and out process so easy and went out of her way to accommodate the many requests my colleagues and I had. Since then, I have been back to Kilaguni severally and it is always a joy. The food is great. The staff are even better. And the wildlife never disappoint. Dorcas Muchemi is the icing on the cake. I needed her help with a surprise I was planning for a colleague during my last visit. It was last minute and I could only text and have a very brief call. She organised everything seemlessly. We arrived at the hotel a bit late and Dorcas had already signed out and was going on leave for a couple of days. I didn't get to see her and say a big thank you to her. So this review is also meant to serve as my thank you note to Dorcas. Dorcas Muchemi: Thank you for being an overall great person to be around and for genuinely and wholehearted serving your guests. I travel ALOT and so I know how overwhelming your job can be yet you chose to be polite, patient and helpful. If you have ever wondered if what you do matters, let this note always remind you of how even the little things you do, make a huge difference in the lives of those you interact with. Thank you, from the bottom my heart for all you do and who you are. I know your future is bright and I can't wait to see you grow in your career.

We had an amazing time at Salt Lick as a family. There was great customer service throughout; from reservation to security to room service to chefs to waiters to masseuse etc. We are particularly grateful to our waiters; Nicholas and Harrison who were really impressive. Nicholas was so excited to serve us, pulled our seats, was very quick and even went the extra mile of helping us with our bags when leaving. I would recommend this place to all safari lovers who also want some calm and quiet. We found the game drive quite expensive so a tip (if you have a personal car) is to follow the game drive trucks or just get a guide.

If you're looking for a place to unwind, rejuvenate and enjoy an incredible scenery, Taita Hills is, in my humble opinion, definitely the place to be. It's well worth the trip. The hotel is breathtakingly beautiful and blends in perfectly with the majestic flora and fauna of the Tsavo Park. Giving visitors an impressive view of the full beauty of the savannah as well as the impressive surrounding hills. The hotel organises wonderful activities for all ages. Special mention must go to the staff, who were very professional, engaging and warm, giving us the feeling of being at home away from home. Rose, Ruben, Victor, JohnStone, Mujomba, Carol, Lydia, Christopher, Haylee, Shake... You made our stay unforgettable. Thank you so much.
