Nice cozy room, the in and outside showers were amazing and friendly staff that have been very helpful from the very first time we arrived. Great scenery, we went in the dry season so it is was quite dusty outside but well kept regardless and I’d return most assuredly with more days

The service was great. The people were very nice. The food was incredible as well. I went on the canopy walk and a zip lining expedition and they were both very fun and the views were amazing. The sleeping arrangements were quite nice as well. Would recommend.

Excellent accueil, personnel très gentil. Merci à Brenda pour la réservation de dernière minute 🥰 , au manager du lodge et à sa femme qui nous ont offert une part de gâteau à l'occasion de leur anniversaire de mariage 😁 ainsi qu'à toute l'équipe. Le lodge est tout simplement magnifique, situé au cœur du parc de Murchison falls. Le logement est parfait, le lit ultra confortable.

The size of the bed and all materials are good and clean. The showers are fantastic. The lights are good. The Banda is good. The facility employs local people which brings income to the communities. Outside activities are good. This includes zip lining, canopy walk, children's play area, and many more. Partnership with excellent tour companies like Kaju community and Nature tours adds flavour to the facility.

El hotel no tiene electricidad ni agua desde ayer en la noche, no podemos bañarnos ni usar los baños. Dicen que se descompuso el generador de electricidad y la bomba de agua y, no saben cuando podrá estar reparada. En la cocina no tienen agua para lavar los platos. EVITEN el lugar es un agujero

Sambiya Lodge was such a treat especially after a week out in the bush! The rooms were very comfortable. The chef did an excellent job with the food. It was amazing by any measure! The beef was delicious and tender. We also used the laundry service -they did a wonderful job!

Very beautiful scenery. Enjoyed waking up to the buffaloes down the valley, walking on the canopy to have a 360 view of the beautiful space and oh, the staff were absolutely amazing. Very kind, very patient, very friendly and helpful. The food is very good and served on time. The swing was fun and oh, we were all trying to make sure that our feet touch the tree branch😂
