Ziwa Bush Lodge

Ziwa Bush Lodge is a boutique lodge set in landscaped gardens on the edge of Lake Nakuru National Park, in the heart of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley and roughly three hours’ drive from Nairobi. Its location just outside the park makes it easy to head out on game drives to look for rhino, lion, buffalo and Rothschild’s giraffe, while the park’s lake and woodlands are home to more than 400 bird species. The lodge has a small number of en suite rooms in three styles, from twin rooms with handcrafted furniture to doubles with queen-size beds and family units, each with a private veranda overlooking the grounds and a pond. Facilities include a swimming pool, spa, restaurant, bar and lounge, plus a firepit boma for evenings under the stars. The lodge runs on solar power, a welcome touch for eco-minded travellers. Besides drives in the park, guests can enjoy bush walks, night drives, sundowners, cultural visits and photography outings. Its relaxed, homely feel suits families, couples and travellers on a Rift Valley circuit.
