Ashnil Aruba Lodge

Ashnil Aruba Lodge lies in the heart of Tsavo East National Park and is one of the park’s most iconic safari properties. Its location is superb, around two and a half hours from the Mombasa coast, a leisurely five-and-a-half-hour drive from Nairobi, or easily reached by SGR train from either city.

Perched on the banks of the Aruba Dam, the lodge is surrounded by flat savannah grasslands and watering holes that attract abundant wildlife. Elephants, buffalo and a remarkable variety of birds come down to drink throughout the year, often in full view of the restaurant.

Meals are served buffet style in the open-sided restaurant, with oriental, international and local Kenyan dishes on offer. Between game drives, guests can cool off in the swimming pool, book a treatment at the spa, or settle into the open-air bar with a drink and a view of the dam.

Whether relaxing on a veranda with sweeping water views, unwinding by the pool or exploring the park on safari, Ashnil Aruba Lodge offers a perfect blend of comfort, adventure and authentic African charm.

ACCOMMODATION

The lodge offers a diverse range of accommodation to suit every traveller, from couples to families. Standard lodge rooms each have a terrace, with interconnecting rooms for families and some rooms adapted for guests with accessibility needs. The deluxe tents bring a more authentic safari feel, and many look out over the dam. Set apart from the main lodge, the newly opened Club Wing has contemporary rooms with fully stocked mini-bars, in-room high-speed Wi-Fi and exclusive use of a private swimming pool.
