Ziwa Bush Lodge

I really enjoyed my stay at this Ziwa Bush lodge. The huts were clean and really cozy, a great place to relax. Every cold night, someone kindly put a hot water bottle in my bed. That was very sweet and made me feel welcome. I would love to come back!

Went there for dinner with the family. While the drive may feel as you are lost in some interior area, once you arrive, the serenity of the place makes you forget the road journey. Very quiet and relaxing, surround by bush( as is its name) and trees. The food, top notch delicious! They do have beautiful rooms and a pool.

Absolutely stunning place! I have stayed in a few places surrounding Nairobi on safari and this was incredible. Other places were great fit for purpose in the middle of nowhere when game drives are your main interest, but here you had everything you need (pool, lovely pond to relax by, a bar and great restaurant with great prices) and could easily just holiday here for 2 weeks. On top of that then you can game drive in Nakuru national park too! I would definitely recommend staying here for a few nights if you're out on safari.

The Ziwa bush lodge was absolutely amazing, from the staff that were so nice to the location and the peacefulness of the place !! Come night time we even had a hot water bag for our bed because it was getting quite cold. You can also have a nice little fire going while you have supper !! Plus they have multiple cat roaming around waiting to be petted. Lovely place with amazing people ! Thank you for having us

Our family had a wonderful stay at Ziwa Bush Lodge for a night, and we truly enjoyed the experience. Nestled just outside Lake Nakuru, the lodge offers a peaceful and scenic escape surrounded by nature. The accommodations were comfortable, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the food was delightful. It’s the perfect spot for relaxation while being conveniently close to the park. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway near Lake Nakuru!

Hidden inside Njoro after Nakuru town, Ziwa Bush Lodge is a Hidden Gem for Foodies and Bird Lovers Alike! The lodge is surrounded by lush greenery and the constant soundtrack of spring like birds telling you Life is Good in every direction, including birds I had never seen before. Ziwa’s culinary approach seems deeply rooted in the local community. Vibrant farm fresh ingredients in each dish, it’s clear they source from nearby farmers. The pizza only available on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), but packed with flavor and well worth planning for. But I honestly believe Ziwa is a Birdwatcher’s Paradise! For bird enthusiasts, this location is a treasure trove of a variety of species including, Weaver Birds, woodpeckers (I think), One with a striking long white tail which my phone camera couldn't see well, a yellow-crested one and darting hummingbirds and a family of ducks. Many seemed to emerge with the rainy season, especially around the pond near the restaurant. Ziwa Bush Lodge offers a delightful mix of local flavors, tranquil scenery, and exceptional birdlife.

Excellent location, amazingly well maintained. Courteous service. The rooms give a traditional feel. The dining area next to the pond is awesome. The aquatic birds are a treat to watch while dining. In the evening the inner room dining is lit with a fireplace also. To top all this experience there is wonderfully brewed Kenyan coffee!

Wonderful lodge. We loved waking up to the sounds of the beautiful birds singing. Our villa was facing the sunrise. The restaurant was beautiful facing a pond. We really enjoyed eating all our meals there. The food was so good because it wasn’t buffet style. We also loved having tea with milk on the patio of the restaurant with African donuts. In the evening, we sat by the fireplace and enjoyed the coziness. Please do visit the orphanage behind, it’s run by the same owners. The kids are wonderful and it’s good to spend time with them.
