Property Overview

Ziwa Bush Lodge is set among indigenous trees and landscaped gardens in Baruti West, approximately 20 kilometres from Lake Nakuru National Park. Its quiet location provides a relaxing alternative to staying in Nakuru town while remaining within reach of the park.

The lodge offers individually designed en-suite rooms and cottages constructed using local stone, canvas and traditional makuti roofing. Handcrafted wooden furniture, private balconies and spacious interiors create a comfortable setting for resting after a Lake Nakuru safari.

WHY SAFARIHQ CHOOSES IT

We recommend Ziwa Bush Lodge for travellers seeking an affordable and peaceful base near Lake Nakuru National Park. Its small-scale setting, spacious cottages and leafy gardens provide more character and tranquillity than a conventional hotel in Nakuru town.

Although the lodge is outside the national park, it works well for itineraries continuing towards Lake Naivasha or the Masai Mara. Guests can enjoy a Lake Nakuru game drive before returning to the swimming pool, welcoming restaurant and relaxed garden surroundings.
