About

The lakeside setting is what sells it — you're eating with flamingos in view and hippos occasionally surfacing. Food is solid cafe basics, nothing adventurous, but fresh and well-prepared. The coffee is good, and the staff are friendly without hovering. Best for a mid-safari breakfast stop.

    Great Local Food, Very Affordable and Family-Friendly We really enjoyed eating at Safari Café. The food was very good, the prices are surprisingly low, and the menu offers a nice mix of local dishes as well as simple options like fries, which is great when you’re traveling with children. The food arrived very quickly, everything was freshly prepared, and the location right in the town center makes it an easy and convenient stop. It’s a perfect place if you don’t want a fancy restaurant, but are looking for solid, tasty local food at a fair price. Overall, a great alternative for a relaxed and uncomplicated meal in Naivasha.
