      Next time, please ask for a room change. If none are available they can send a housekeeper to dust, wipe down, change the beddings vacuum/sweep, mop and scrub the bathroom, while you are out at the pool. They should also, offer a complementary drink and snacks to keep you guys busy while they do it. You guys are brave. I would spend the night having nightmares of bugs crawling all over me.
      When you do visit Toronto, Kenyans living in Canada would be happy to show you around Kenyan restaurants and bars here. ❤

      ... Getting that kind of 'dis-service' to me is a no no.
      It is obvious no one did/does 'last round' inspection b 4 a guest arrives ( this is key)
      The Manis took it lightly tho that wasn't fun at all.
      That aside - that place needs some reno.... No high ranking official ( let alone a "president") can put up w that.. ✌

    Probably the room rarely gets visitors and has been neglected for a long time. Even then, they should have spared sometime to spruce it up for you and not just dangle the presidential tag on you. All the same, Shaba is a gem up North. Also before you visit, maybe you should read up on Kenya's landscape and its geography. Up North is hot and dry and sparsely populated. Up to 90% of Kenyans live on the Southern part. Good video, cheers!

    Knowing how serious Sarova are about hospitality, I think this was just an unfortunate oversight. I'm guessing they hadn't quite thought through that upgrade.

    A little correction, Shaba National Réserve where the hotel is, is in Isiolo, not Samburu. Samburu is north of the river. There is also a Samburu National Réserve, down the river in Samburu, which borders the Buffalo Springs Reserve in Isiolo. Isiolo County is the geographical center of Kenya.
