Tsavo vantage points don’t come any better than this – the views are simply magnificent and there’s a waterhole right by the restaurant. It’s all enough to make you forget that the building itself is a monstrosity and the rooms (especially the bathrooms) are tired and in need of an overhaul; the balcony views from all rooms are wonderful, especially rooms 6 and 7.
Out the back there are sweeping views down off the escarpment and over the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.
The practice of baiting leopards each night for photo opportunities has, thankfully, been discontinued by other hotels in the area. Watch instead for rhinos at the waterhole after dark.
