In may opinion the negative point is where it is placed. shaba reserve has very very few animals, so you must go to samburu to see them and so wasting time in transfers. swimming pool are is very beautiful!

We stayed at the Sarova Shaba for 2 nights as part of a 12 night trip to Kenya. We stayed at other Sarova accomodations as well and found the food at all the locations relatively similar.

From The Bull to The Buffalo Part 3 The North Shaba An early start after a Mt Kenya sized breakfast we sadly departed from The Stanley. Driving in Kenya is best accomplished by local experts.
