Lock in a great price for Ziwa Bush Lodge – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

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.

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!

Love the rooms and decoration. We felt very comfortable and well treated by the staff. They were amazing. We even asked for a cake and the chef made one for our birthday girl. It was a very nice experience.

Lamb broth, lamb chops, carrot cake, poached eggs excellent. Hot water bottle in bed lovely. Quality of linens good. Wine selection good. Birds on pond and in fields and near villas stunning. Generosity extended to my driver most appreciated. Service by Sharon outstanding.

The only possible downside is location. This is 30minutes remote from town on back gravel roads. You need a rent car to get here. This however can be seen as a plus. The location is quiet, peaceful and safe.
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.
