The cottages are decorated in a rich and sensuous fusion of ochre, honey and sand colors, whilst each one has its own unique style and atmosphere; ethnic and locally carved furnishing adds to the romance and excitement of the pervading African ambience.

This is the only shower bath that has appeared in our top 10 list.
Sunset at Soroi is especially magical, as the lodge views face due west. A setting sun spills gold over the Ndaho valley until it melts into purple on the Western horizon. Once the last glow of sunset has faded, and the stunning views of the valley below have been cloaked by the black of night the sound of lions roaring and hyenas crying echos into the darkness.
