Very convenient place for staying at Naivasha lake. They have good prices. 1700 kes for renting a tent.

This is one of the best place to stay Really highly recommend. I planned to stay at the cheaper place but it was occupied. But when I saw what they prepared I decided to take this nice cottage without hesitation. The place was super nice and always some animals and birds. So many. And staff was really great and I loved their courtesy and help a lot. When I come back here again, I will definitely stay here for sure.

Beautifully located next to the lake. Vervet and columbus monkeys regularly visit the campsite. They are cheeky so beware ;) Also at night the hippos come on land and can also walk into the camp. The guard will follow it and alert you if it's there. I found it pretty cool to camp around nature and animals. Good facilities as well like hot showers and a bar. Bring your own toilet paper if you're camping.

The view is great, but they don't offer Bonfire. They sell a bunch of firewood at ksh 500 and take any remainder while you're sleeping so that you have to buy for the next day of camping. Sitting washrooms are also poorly maintained. I didn't use the rooms. I had my own camping gear.

It's a great place in nature and full of wildlife but management needs to be more serious and stricter with the rules and policies. Their policy says "no noise and music after 11 pm" but on a Saturday night, there was a big rowdy and noisy group drinking, shouting and playing music very loudly at night, and the two guards were afraid of them and could not do anything. I think that if someone is not complying with the rules after several notices, they should be immediately kicked out by force not to disturb other guests (with the help of the police, if needed). The food in the restaurant was good but we waited for 2 (!) hours for it, and there were only 2 other clients except us. They also have a strange 500 kes fee to store stuff in the fridge (half-empty) which seemed like a random invention by their management. Overall, the campsite has a lot of potential but if you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy nature and not someone else's music playlist, then probably you should choose another place.

Stayed 3 nights. Bandas were clean and had hot water. Can rent bikes here for 800 shillings. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant. Service was nice just have to be patient. Organized a car for 5000 to mount longonot. They offered to take us by boat to crescent island for 6000 but other companies do it much cheaper (2500 shillings). Guides try to sell you on their services. They arent needed at all to enjoy the area. Also, about a dozen hippos hangout around here so if you just come here for a drink or a bit to eat you should be able to see them.

Bandas are good value, basic but fairly comfortable. The setting is beautiful and very peaceful, hippos and hundreds of varieties of birds to be seen. Unfortunately everything else is a lot less good. We booked a boat excursion that left an hour late and ran out of fuel on the lake, almost stranding us on the water. One evening we ate at the restaurant and there was a bug in our food. At first the staff refused to take the item off the bill, suggesting compromises like giving it half-off because we’d eaten half the dish before seeing the bug...
