The rooms are individual huts with all of the modern conveniences. Excellent hot water (but you need to remind them to turn on the electric backup for your room. Regular solar hot water is not sufficient for a decent shower), superb bedding with mosq netting. Excellent food is all inclusive, which is good because there are no decent restaurants nearby. The food was buffet service next to a pond. The price is very competitive and it goes to help support the Christian orphanage next door. Tours of the orphanage are free. They are 7th Day Adventists, so try to avoid Saturday tour. (Hotel operates as normal)

What a great place! Just outside Naivasha town, this is a relaxing place to stay during your time near Lake Naivasha. Amazing rooms and very friendly staff. Not to mention the great pool. I would absolutely stay here again.

Sam United States of America

The staff is very friendly and the room very comfortable. As in all Kenia the access has a rough route, but it is worth it. Shower with high pressure and hot water excellent

M Spain

We stayed for 2 nights at Ziwa Bush Lodge, which is situated a 10 min drive from Nakuru city centre and a 45min drive from the entrance of Nakuru NP: the huts with great comfort, the restaurant's terrace, and the very friendly staff were big plusses for us.

The environment was warm and the bush feeling was amazing

Joseph Kenya

sufficient and a nice spread, not ostentatious but a good continental breakfast with fresh fruits and pasteries.

Te Kenya

The lodge is located in a very nice and serene environment. The rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished. The lodges have open windows, so the room got a bit chilly in the evening, but the staff provided bed heaters which we were very happy about. Overall great value for money.

Reka Hungary

The Lodge was comfortable, it was amazing for our stay.

Jaroslav Czech Republic

We honestly cannot recommend Ziwa Bush Lodge enough. Our Villa was a secluded safari paradise and we felt totally relaxed. There are no windows, just mosquito nets, and so we fell asleep to the sounds of nature. The food was lovely; we were half board as the breakfast was great on both mornings of our stay. The dinner was great also; one night we had a buffet which had lots of options and on the other night it was a 3 course A La Carte menu. The staff were very helpful and arranged a fantastic game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park. They also helped when our taxi to our next destination got lost. Finally, as it’s winter in Kenya at the moment (although the temperatures aren’t dissimilar to a cool spring day to us Brits!) they provided a lovely turn-down service with hot water bottles to keep us warm at night. A little patch of heaven in the middle of nowhere. Would definitely stay again!
