Dining

Fantastic meals are prepared using fresh seasonal produce and meats. The modern kitchen is open-plan, so meals are prepared in full view of the dining area. Enjoy delicious breakfast, lunch and high tea in the afternoon.

Dinners are eaten outside around an open fire in the boma area. You may also choose to eat under the stars, in the bush, surrounded by nature. Meal schedules are flexible and can be arranged to accommodate your game drives.

The Nare Suite has a self-contained kitchen, where chefs prepare meals for you to enjoy in the luxury of your own retreat, either in the lounge or on the outdoor dining area.

Standard Room

Jaci's Safari Lodge offers eight Double Rooms - each looking out over a dry river-bed which acts as a pathway for animals walking to the waterhole. The deck in front of the room is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the surrounding sights and smells of the bush.

Each room boasts a ceramic fireplace with a stone chimney – perfect for warming the cooler winter evenings. In order to create the romance of a tented safari suite, the rooms have canvas sides.  The spacious bathrooms have stone walls constructed using locally sourced rock and feature an open-air shower.

Children sharing with their parents are easily accommodated on camping stretchers in the rooms.

Other Room Types

For something more private, the Nare Suite is an exclusive bush retreat, named after the buffalo bull that frequents the waterhole in front of the Suite. The suite accommodates up to six guests with an upstairs loft complete with its own toilet - perfect for children.

The suite also features a wooden viewing deck overlooking the waterhole, private swimming pool, exclusive-use bush vehicle and professional guide. Another impressive feature is that the suite's lounge and dining area has a self-contained kitchen, where lodge chefs can prepare meals for you in privacy.

The Safari Suite is ideal for families who desire an intimate bush experience, and can sleep up to four adults and four children.

Traveller Reviews

  • The highlight of the trip was, of course, Jaci's Lodge. It was the place where we fell in love with Africa once and for all! We couldn't wish for a better place to discover the wilderness and magnificence it has to offer!

  • Jaci's was of course the highlight of the trip. We saw plenty of animals and one time were surrounded by about 50 elephants of all sizes, but the leopard remained elusive. We were very happy with Jaci's and all the staff. They were consistently great with the service from the minute we arrive to the time we left. Not a single negative thing to say really except that one of the monkeys got into our tent and in absence of food, stole Matthew's berry flavored toothpaste. Poor guys!

  • We had a really great time and didnt want to come home. Jaci's was a lovely lodge - we have only done safaris in Kenya before so we weren't to sure what to expect - but it was really child fiendly. We had a driver called Olly who was superb - my son loved him and he was fantastic at locating the animals. Food at Jaci's was also great and we could not fault the staff - please pass on my thanks
