"Ultimate Family Safari Sanctuary"

10.0

Wild animals everywhere, giraffe, hippo etc on the front lawn. Amazing site. Went with a 5yr old and 10month old and was perfect family friendly. Absolutely African Dream.

Flooring is all stone throughout which is fine, just do mindful planning if bringing younger children/crawling/new to walking.

"Unforgettable stay amongst zebras and antelopes. Highly recommended!"

10.0

Sanctuary Farm was one of our favourite stays in Kenya. This small private sanctuary is full of zebras, antelopes, horses and wildebeest that freely roam around. Imagine sitting on your private terrace and reading a book, while these animals are grazing peacefully nearby. Actually, our first experience upon arrival was having lunch at the restaurant while zebras were walking between the tables, such a unique experience! We stayed in the Rose Cottage which is a comfortable, private place that's great for 2 persons. From here you can walk to the lake, where boats depart (extra charge) to Crescent Island, which is also highly recommended to visit. Sanctuary Farm was the perfect base for us, for all our activities around Lake Navaisha. The communication before booking was excellent, they answered all my questions quickly, friendly and with lots of patience. Daily housekeeping and the service at the restaurant were also excellent. We had planned on biking in Hell's Gate, but since we already saw so many zebras and antelopes up close just from sitting on the terrace of our cottage and from walking around the sanctuary, that we decided to save on the high entrance fees of that NP. I highly recommend Sanctuary Farm, if there is still something available for your dates then don't hesitate to book! I will remember my amazing stay for the rest of my life.

The only thing we liked a bit less, was that the bedroom and bathroom of the Rose Cottage are 2 separate buildings. And even though they are only located 2 meters from each other, this means you have to go outside at night if you want to use the bathroom. Nothing scary whatsoever, just slight uncomfortable. For us this was only a very small downside and nothing compared to the amazing, unique stay that Sanctuary Farm offers. It's just something that might be good to be aware of before booking.

"Exceptional"

10.0

Wunderschönes Cottage mit allem was man braucht. Blick auf den Naivasha See und Blick auf viele Wildtiere die direkt an der Terasse entlang spazieren. Wir waren auf der Farm reiten, haben eine Bootstour um die Insel gemacht und waren in Restaurant essen, alles sehr empfehlenswert. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit hier :)

"great experience"

9.0

Beautiful environment with plenty of wildlife around — a very unique experience, and the bed was very comfortable.

Check-in felt a bit rushed. Having to go outside to use the toilet at night, with all the animal sounds around, was quite terrifying. There was also a park fee of 1,000 KES that wasn’t mentioned when we made the booking.

"Unieke accommodatie tussen giraffen en zebra’s"

9.0

De cottage ligt midden in een privéreservaat aan de oever van Lake Naivasha, waar giraffen, zebra’s, waterbokken en buffels vrij rondlopen. Het huisje is sfeervol ingericht en goed onderhouden, met een veranda vanwaar je de giraffen op slechts een paar meter afstand kunt zien grazen. Het personeel is vriendelijk en attent, en het restaurant op het terrein serveert heerlijke, verse gerechten.

"Séjour hors du temps et magique"

10.0

Nous avons tout adoré. Nous étions entourés d'impalas, zèbres, giraffes, gnous... Ce lieu est absolument magique ! Nous étions littéralement à côté de l'embarquement pour accéder à Crescent Island, et à 15 minutes même pas en voiture de Hell's Gate, alors que c'était les 2 activités pour lesquelles nous étions venus à Naivasha. Nous avons petit-déjeuné entourés d'impalas, avec une giraffe pas loin du restaurant. La maisonnette a beaucoup de fenêtres, ce qui permet de pouvoir voir les animaux de l'intérieur. La cuisine est parfaitement équipée. L'eau de la douche est bien chaude. Les équipes nous ont ramenés en jeep le soir à notre maison. C'était vraiment magique. Je recommande 1000 fois.

Le seul élément un peu embêtant est le fait qu'il faut "sortir" de la chambre pour accéder à la maison de la salle de bain et aller aux toilettes ce qui est un peu pénible de nuit, mais ce n'est pas grand chose surtout que la distance entre les 2 maisonettes est de moins de 2 mètres.

"100/100 recommend for nature loving travelers visiting Naivasha."

10.0

The property itself is beautiful. The evening, we arrived we had zebras in our garden. In the morning, we woke up to gazelles eating grass outside and wildebeests walking around in the distance. The lake was visible and a 5-minute walk and so was the restaurant. The kitchen in the cottage was wonderfully stocked with fresh milk, oil and basic necessities. We purchased our own groceries and cooked multiple meals. The hosts were very nice and greeted us on check-in and were prompt with any answers required. I would 100/100 recommend everyone to stay here if they are visiting Naivasha.
