Ziwa Bush Lodge

Ziwa Bush Lodge was our favourite hotel during our 6-day safari trip. The quiet, and calming vibe stands out from the rest (which are mostly crowded and noisy). The staff particularly prepared breakfast early knowing we had to dine at 6am to catch up with our schedule, and the warm water bag they place under our bed during dinner time was a heartwarming touch. Tho the hotel was slightly far from the entrance of Lake Nakuru. And shout out to the kitten at the restaurant!

We stayed only one night. We tried to enter Nakuru from that side of the Lake, but those road area under water, so we had to drive for 45 min in the am to another gate through the entire town of Nakuru.The location is not great.||The grounds are beautifully kept and the food was nice (it comes with breakfast and dinner). Bedding was comfy. We stayed in a newer part of the area and ended up getting locked out of the hotel area in the morning.|The people running the place are wonderful. ||Would not stay again if trying to get into the park in a timely fashion in the morning.

We spent one night here as part of a larger safari trip and really enjoyed it! The food was excellent, staff was friendly, and room was comfortable and clean! Great place to stay!

We recently stayed at Ziwa Bush Lodge during a 2 week group trip through East Africa and what a delight it was! Our friendly and genuine welcome (after a long days travel) set the tone for our overnight stay. All staff were helpful and friendly, the main lodge was a great place to unwind in (with the soaring ceiling and open fire) and where we enjoyed the delicious meals. Our accomodation was clean, the bed very comfortable (& the thoughtful touch of hot water bottles was much appreciated) and having a kettle and the/coffee making facilities a lovely bonus. All of this was in a tranquil setting.

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.

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.

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.
