Location:- It is easy to forget you are in such a wild and arid place, because Kilalinda lies in a tranquil refuge of greenery by the Athi River, which acts as an oasis for virtually every species of animal in Tsavo - including the impressive 'Big 5'.
At Kilalinda the emphasis is always on relaxation and you dictate the pace. Highly trained staff take care of your every wish and you can relax by the pool or do something more energetic like a game walk or drive with an expert guide.
Dawn is a special time of day in Africa and Kilalinda suggests you rise one morning for a sunrise breakfast on the panoramic platform high in the branches of a giant Baobab tree. Watch the sun creep over the land and light up the Chyulu Hills and mystical snow-dome of Kilimanjaro. A romantic alternative is to take your sundowner drinks up here and watch the sunset.
Cuisine and fine wine is of utmost importance here and every dish and dressing is prepared in the country kitchen with all the herbs and vegetables grown in the lodge gardens. The accent is on Five Star cuisine and service, but the setting is always homely and unpretentious.

Wildlife:- At just over 21,000km sq, Tsavo is the largest national park in Kenya and one of the largest in the world. Because of its size the park was split into two, Tsavo West and Tsavo East, for easy administration. Midway between Nairobi and Mombasa the area boasts volcanic hills, four rivers, more than 60 major mammal species and 1000 plant species.

Access:- Tsavo National Park can be reached by road and flight transfer from Nairobi.
