Chui Lodge

Chui Lodge is set high above Lake Naivasha in its own 20,000 acre wildlife sanctuary. There are six individual well spaced luxurious cottages each with en-suite bathroom and verandah with views across the sanctuary.

All bedrooms have magnificent four poster olive wood beds, roaring log fires and handcrafted fires. The dining room and bar is decorated with murals and carvings giving it the appearance of an African artist’s workshop. Meals can be taken outside within the grounds of the lodge.

Often bush breakfasts or sundowners are taken out in the sanctuary or along the shores of Lake Naivasha itself. For latest rates and possible itineraries including this accommodation please contact us.

Kiangazi House

Kiangazi House lies inside the Oserian Wildlife Corridor and offers spectacular views across the rift valley and of the big game which approaches several waterholes around the house. Rooms are set amongst beautiful lush gardens and well tended lawns.

Built in a colonial style from local stone and timber the house has six rooms which are all en-suite with king sized beds. Amenities include a lounge, dining room, bar and library and guests can also play tennis or relax by the pool. Three course lunches and dinners are provided amongst the lush gardens.

It is also common to take sundowners amongst the forests around Lake Naivasha. For latest rates and possible itineraries including this accommodation please contact us.

Fly Camping

For a closer to nature experience you might want to consider a mobile camping safari. There are a number of camping sites around the park borders from where you can enjoy a safari during the day before returning to camp to relive the day’s wildlife encounters. All tents and bedding are provided and meals are prepared for you whilst you relax by the fire as the evening wildlife becomes active. There are shared communal showers and toilet facilities at each camp site.

We can provide camping safari for individuals, couples or small groups but please note we can not guarantee that there will be a private experience at any particular camp site. For latest rates and possible itineraries including this accommodation please contact us.

Responsible Travel
All lodges we use in the Rift Valley use local stone and timber as well as local craftsmen in their construction. Your stay in the rift valley greatly benefits local enterprises from where all foodstuffs are purchased. Each lodge provides skilled employment for locals in the kitchens and on safari excursions.
