I stayed at iKWETA Safari Camp in August 2023 with my young family and two friends from abroad. The tented rooms were well presented and felt private. The camp is in a convenient location to get to the National Park gate, and the manager organised a vehicle and guide to take us on game drives. Unfortunately, there were numerous disappointing aspects of our stay. To start, the food was basic and bland, and the selection of soft drinks was limited. The staff were inattentive, and we often saw them on their phones or watching TV (especially the manager) when we required serving. Prior to arrival we had agreed with the manager that the camp would provide a highchair. This was not provided, and he tried to suggest we had never asked. The shower was a cold dribble; not what you want after a day's game drive. It was noisy at night from a nearby village, the WIFI was slow and intermittent, and the pool looked dirty. Another negative was the cats. There were far too many, they made the camp smell, and they would not leave us alone at meals. We loved Meru National Park, but we will not be returning to iKWETA, and are suggesting others avoid this camp.
