"Lions no longer drink from the swamp in front of the hotel as they did in the early years, and it is unlikely that hippos will grunt & grumble in the river behind, but to stay in thehotel can still be an uplifting experience, enjoying its gracious ambience of both present & past". (Charles Njonjo, former Chairman, Kenya Wildlife Service, 1999).
