Ziwa Bush Lodge

Beautifully designed african style lodge in the middle of the bush in Nakuru. The place was built by the owner in order to finance the kids orphanage he has been managing for the past 25 years. That alone is a reason to book this amazing hand made lodge. Every time you book their room, you actually finance the Kenyan kids orphanage! The surrounding is amazing - everthing is green and the rooms are very beautiful. The pool area is very nice, although we didn't get to enjoy it because it was raining. There is a large pond outside the dinning area which really adds to the scenary. Highly recommended!

Can't think of anything

Ziwa Cottage was such a pleasant surprise. The place is cuter and more serene in person. I especially loved being surrounded by nature, the friendliness of the staff and cushiness of the bed! At night you can see the beauty of the shining stars - it really feels like you’re somewhere magical!

I think they can improve a little on meals especially the variety offered for vegetarians/vegans.

lovely little well presented cabins

we had a few issues with leaky hot water bottles used to heat beds resulting in damp mattresses . the food the first evening was a lovely buffet the second evening however it was just recycled , renamed dishes from the day before . tables not laid up properly and staff could certainly have been more attentive .

Lots of birdlife at the property. The restaurant borders a man made lake which provides lovely views.

No negatives

we stayed in the executive room and it was luxurious, spacious and clean. great communal dining area with fireplace that was much appreciated given the cool weather we had. swimming pool looked really nice too but it was unfortunately too cold for us to try

only 30 mins drive to the national park but over a pretty rough road
