Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge

Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge sits among wide gardens on Moi South Lake Road, a short walk from the shoreline of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley and roughly 15 kilometres from Naivasha town. Wildlife moves freely through the grounds, and it is common to spot waterbuck, zebra and giraffe from the lawns, along with plenty of birdlife. The lodge has 70 rooms in standard, superior and family categories, each en suite with a private balcony or terrace facing either the gardens or the lake. Facilities include a swimming pool, restaurant, bar and lounge, a kids club and an evening firepit. The location makes it an easy base for the area’s best excursions: boat trips on the lake to see hippos and fish eagles, guided walks among plains game on Crescent Island, and cycling through the gorges of Hell’s Gate National Park nearby. Sundowners overlooking the water round off the day nicely. It suits families, birdwatchers and travellers wanting a comfortable lakeside break on the way to or from the Maasai Mara.
