Great Rift Valley experience

Zach, the hotel guide took us on a fabulous nature walk, and arranged for us to have a boat trip on lake Naivasha. The level of service from all staff was exceptional and reflected Kenyan hospitality at its best. The hotel had monkeys in the grounds, and plenty of exotic birds. My favourite was waking up to a view of the lake covered in a carpet of pink from the amazing flamingoes.

Great Place to Go!!

We really loved the Jacaranda Lodge. The staff there is so Great, the Cook was sensitive and really good, he came every night to ask if everything was okay, we got. Special Food because we are vegeterians, they made everything very friendly and helpful and tasty. The Guide Joseph was amazing! The Garden and whole Area is very beautiful!

It is a peaceful place to relax and unwind. Joseph took us on a walk down to the lake front where we saw a wide variety of birds. The food was good and, as there were few guest, served quickly. Lovely getaway from Nairobi

a peaceful get away.

the location and views are quite good, and it is nice and quiet. The grounds are well done and lots of birds around the grounds. The service was very good, and the staff were very attentive. Staff were generous with their time, took us on a bird watching tour down by the lake and a 4 hour hike to a local 200 meter hill with great views of Elementaita and surrounding areas.

Secret escape

6 - 9 April 2024, we decided to treat ourselves for our wedding anniversary to a stay for a few nights at Jacaranda Lake Elementaita Lodge visiting Lake Nakuru and Elementaita in our 4x4. For our first night we had the hotel to ourselves, the pool was very clean and perfect for chilling out in. The food is delicious served in the Lord Cole Restaurant and meal times are flexible, just ask what suits. Chef and Maitre d'Hotel, are attentive and provide a personal welcome, catering to our diets no problem. The hotel had strong wifi everywhere, the bedroom was very comfortable with premium bedding. There is a flat screen TV in the room which we have not looked at. There is piping hot water in the bathroom and shower which arrives after a running the taps for a while. Bath and shower heated by Kuni booster. This morning the hotel provided a guide who took us to Lord Cole’s monument, to the shore of the lake and to Kariandusi Site Museum. Lots of flamingos at Lake Elementaita and other beautiful birds…… everything here is peaceful with beautiful views, we remain on safari It is an old hotel which is not in top condition with old bathrooms waiting to be done up when funds allow, don’t expect a modern top class hotel. Our bathroom is in pink, very 70’s. The staff are all charming and doing their best.
