We are a family run business and someone will always be around to help out! Don't hesitate to contact us via number provided!

Lake Naivasha is an incredible spot, with the Rift Valley escarpments rising on both sides, the volcanoes of Longonot and the Giant volcanic rock formations and geothermal vents in Hell's Gate. behind, it is truly a magical landscape with no shortage of things to explore on land or water.

The watchtower is a cosy cabin in the midst of our wildlife sanctuary.

Further round the outside is an enclosed double outdoor shower room open to the stars!

It's easiest to use a car to get anywhere in Kenya and getting to the Watch Tower is no exception. However, there are many taxis and motorbike taxis (boda boda) operating locally that can be useful for those without private transport.

Living among wildlife - a truly unreal experience

We had an amazing time at Sanctuary Farm by Lake Naivasha in Kenya — it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip. The accommodation in the tower was both cozy and exotic. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and to prepare our own meals, although we didn’t cook because the on-site restaurant fully met our needs — which was especially important for us as vegetarians! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist us with anything we needed. We only stayed in the tower for one night, but what a night it was! In the morning, we woke up to find zebras and a giraffe standing right outside our porch — it was absolutely stunning and surreal! The night safari also exceeded our expectations. We honestly hadn’t expected much, but it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.

Amazing and relaxing

Sanctuary Farm is a very special place. Somewhere you can walk with zebras and giraffes and relax like nowhere else. In addition, the food in the restaurant is good and the bed in the watchtower very comfortable. It's not cheap, but it is worth every penny

Beautiful place in Naivasha

We loved our stay at the watch tower. It has all the amenities for a comfortable stay, and it's in the middle of a sanctuary, really close to lake Naivasha. You can spot animals roaming around every day from your bedroom, and you're free to explore the whole sanctuary. There is a nice restaurant on site serving drinks and pizzas. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to return.

Perfect little oasis

We really enjoyed our stay! It seems small at first blush, but the close proximity somehow made it more special us (we were a couple that stayed for one night after climbing elephant hill). The views were amazing and we enjoyed the morning visit from a troop of curious monkeys. Would highly recommend.
