Ashnil Aruba Lodge

Ashnil Aruba Lodge is a popular tented lodge within Tsavo East National Park, positioned close to the Aruba Dam, a man-made reservoir that acts as a magnet for wildlife in the dry semi-arid landscape. The dam attracts enormous elephant herds, buffalo, hippo, crocodile, lion, and prolific birdlife, making the lodge's position one of Tsavo East's most consistently rewarding wildlife spots.

Ashnil's reliable mid-range standards, experienced Tsavo guiding team, and the extraordinary waterhole theatre of the Aruba Dam make it a good-value choice for Tsavo East stays. Like Voi Safari Lodge, it works well as a midpoint on the classic Kenya safari-and-beach route between Nairobi and Mombasa.
