Ziwa Bush Lodge

Ziwa Bush Lodge in Kenya is a marvelous place to be. Throughout, you can see the attention to detail and care they take. Our room was simply fantastic. I'm sure I had the best mattress in Kenya. The bathroom was awesome too. Dramatic actually. The ground of Ziwa are lush and green. The reception is simple and as you can see in my photos, the dining area contains a large indoor fire. It's somewhere I would recommend and I'll return in 2027. Thanks Ziwa!!!

The lodge is located quite a distance from Lake Nakuru, tucked away inside a corn plantation and residential area. Our rooms were near the reception, but it was about a 5-minute walk to the restaurant.||One of our rooms had strong hot water pressure, but the other did not. Food options were limited, though what was served was decent.||It rained during dinner, making the walk back to the rooms a bit challenging, but umbrellas were thoughtfully provided. Unfortunately, the heavy rain caused some water leakage from the wall in one of our rooms. Thankfully, our luggage on the floor was not affected

We stayed at the Ziwa for one night during a 5 night safari break. Everything about our stay was incredible and I only wish we could have stayed longer. |The cottage was stunning, well laid out and well insulated and the turn down service included putting hot water bottles in our bed ready to climb into, which was such a thoughtful gesture. |The setting was magnificent - beautiful pond, nice swimming area and really authentic whilst being clean and well kept. The dining area was dreamy, with a large log burner to sit near and cosy up with a book. The food was great and they even served us breakfast earlier than their usual time as we were leaving early for a game drive.|It was our honeymoon and they made the bed specially with flower petals and chocolate - again very thoughtful and beautiful. ||Thank you Ziwa! Highly recommend |Ben & Rachel

||This is a lovely little resort tucked away about 25 minutes from Lake Nakuru ||We stayed in mid August so bear in mind it gets chilly and the windows are just mesh with a blind to cover them so did get cold, the hot water bottles were a nice surprise when we got into bed and though, the shower was lovely and quickly warmed us up. The accomodation was very well presented.||The area where you had your meals overlooked a pond which looked lovely.||There was a lovely sofa area with a log fire in the middle you could all chill around in the evenings for drinks after a long day or game drives.||Dinner and breakfast were served buffet style while lunch was a la carte. There was also a bar by the swimming pool where you could buy drinks and addtional food as required.||The resort is very close to an orphanage which is pretty much on the same grounds and they can arrange free tours, so if you have space it would be nice to bring some school resources to give them.

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.

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!

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!

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!
