Lodge Ziwa Bush Lodge
Njoro, Nakuru, 20100 Nakuru, Kenya – Great location - show map
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)
United States of AmericaWhat 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.
United States of AmericaThe 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
SpainWe 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.
BelgiumThe environment was warm and the bush feeling was amazing
Kenyasufficient and a nice spread, not ostentatious but a good continental breakfast with fresh fruits and pasteries.
KenyaFriendly Stuff We have been upgraded from standard room to deluxe room
KenyaThe 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.
HungaryThe Lodge was comfortable, it was amazing for our stay.
Czech RepublicWe 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!

- After the first roundabout where Eveready Battery Factory is, keep going for 1.2 mi and take the first left turn to Njoro.
- After 2.5 mi, at the sign for Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology, take the first left onto a gravel road
- After 1.9 mi along this gravel road, there will be a sign on the left saying East African Mission Orphanage, which is on the same property as Ziwa Bush Lodge.
