Perched on top of a cliff-faced hill, Voi Safari Lodge is uniquely designed to be a hinge-like structure overlooking Kenya's Tsavo East plains extending as far as the undulating terrain of the Yatta Plateaus. This vantage positioning of the lodge has made it a stopover for many safari adventures, nature lovers, and holidaymakers who are assured of sampling Kenya's wildlife attractions that continuously beat a track to the three water holes sunk by the lodge below the cliff.

The lodge is also popular with travelers along the Mombasa - Nairobi highway, located 165 kilometers from Mombasa, and has the advantage of being within a park that is served with good infrastructure including communication facilities.

Voi Safari Lodge has 52 en-suite standard rooms with three stories and stands in proud contrast to its rocky surroundings. The unique dug-up rock swimming pool has crystal clear water which invites to a refreshing dip after a dusty day on a Kenya safari.
