I stayed in 5 lodges and Hogmead in Nairobi which I loved. Yes, there was one horrible experience, Ol Donyo was not bad by any means, I just felt the management was a bit cold and was just going through the motions. Whenever I said that I stayed at Ol Donyo, the water issue came up so I am not the only one to mention this. I was told that a South African firm did the refurbishing and that it was always a bad idea to build a lodge where you have to truck in water everyday and why in the world would you place a plunge pool in each room, an outside shower, huge bathtub and rain shower if you are trying to conserve water. I did research on these lodges and I loved 4 out of 6. I am happy to learn of other cultures but I don't like being told constantly to not use the water, once is enough and was very careful during my stay not to use much.
