Kilalinda lodge is situated on the banks of the Tsavo/Athi River, at the edge of Tsavo East National Park. It looks out onto the Yatta Plateau and on a clear day Mt. Kilimanjaro can be seen to the South.
The lodge is surrounded by a beautiful and well-tendered garden that contrasts with the arid countryside of Tsavo. This safari lodge takes pride in providing the first-class cuisine. Most of the fresh vegetables are grown on a farm nearby and therefore are obtained daily.

Each cottage has its’ own individual character each with its own bathroom tiled with locally hand-made tiles, shingle roofs, private veranda, and built so as to make maximum use of the cool breeze that blows up and down the river during the different seasons.

Kilalinda has been built with all local materials without felling any trees or ruining the natural environment.
The furniture has also all been made locally. All the locals who helped build the lodge have been trained in different departments and now help run the lodge.
