What's nearby

  • After a wonderful trip to Masai Mara we took a small detour to go to Lake Nakuru to see their famed white rhinos. We were not disappointed. Here is the endangered species with its young calf making it an extra special moment. I think sepia rendition works best for this beautiful animal. #wildlife photo contest

Excellent experience in rural Nakuru. This hotel has a retreat feel from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area. Wonderful and respectful staff. Excellent dinning options with good variety of local cuisine and fresh fruits + vegetables. Entire meal has a farm to table feel to it. Clean rooms though the shower hotel hot water regulation can be a bit finicky. Fantastic experience all round.
