The story
Nestled within Nairobi National Park, Wild Beast Eco Camp charms with its rustic, scenic grounds and an eco-village concept that adds a thoughtful touch. Giovanni Fois calls it a “nice hotel” with a “beautiful pool in the forest,” ideal as a serene stopover for safari-goers. The ambiance earns high marks, and the natural setting is undeniably inviting.
However, the dining experience falls short of the surroundings. During his visit, Fois reports “slow service and disappointing food,” specifically citing a potato soup, pasta with tomato sauce, and fried fish that left him feeling unwell. While the camp’s location and concept are compelling, those prioritizing a memorable meal may want to plan their eating elsewhere.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- We stayed in a tent the first night, but then they upgraded us to a suite. The tent was very nice, and the suite was also great.
Facilities
- The pool is very nice, in the middle of the forest. The water is freezing though, even though it's 33°C outside.
Location
- It's inside the national park near Nairobi, a perfect stopover point for safaris. All distances are huge here, so it's a good intermediate point.
Service
- They upgraded us from a tent to a suite for no reason, which was really nice.

MI SONO SENTITO MALE DOPO UN FOODTOUR IN AFRICA · @ 4:27
An eco-village with a nice concept but the service was slow and the food was disappointing.
Dishes mentioned
Potato Soup
I had the potato soup, it was okay, nothing special. We waited 30 minutes for it and then they abandoned us.
Pasta with Tomato Sauce
The pasta with tomato sauce was made in a hurry, with lentil sauce and some herbs — it was a nightmare.
Fried Fish
I don't even know what fish this is, it was a nightmare — a painted fish? Terrible.
