Enashipai Resort & Spa

Enashipai Resort & Spa lies beside Lake Naivasha, roughly 76 kilometres north-west of Nairobi and about an hour and a half by road, which makes it one of the easiest Rift Valley stays to reach from the capital. Its name is understood to mean a place of happiness in the Maasai language, and Maasai culture runs through the property, most notably in the Maa Museum, a private collection devoted to Maasai heritage. Accommodation includes executive villa rooms and cottages, as well as a larger multi-level villa suited to families or groups travelling together. The Siyara Spa offers massages and body treatments, and there is also a swimming pool, a gym and the Senteu restaurant with buffet and à la carte dining. Beyond the resort, guests can take a boat across the lake to Crescent Island, where giraffe, zebra and antelope can be seen on foot, or join nearby wildlife walks. Enashipai suits couples and honeymooners wanting spa time, families, and travellers who like a resort feel at the end or start of a safari.
