Great Circle Lodge with its Wonderful hosts and staff was a really nice place to stay. They helped us with planning our day trip to Mount Kenya and we enjoyed the good food. The common area with its fire place is a wonderful place to relax after a long day of enjoying the beauty of mount Kenya national park. Good value for a good price! Recommend

“A Home away from Home”
The environment was fantastic. Very calming, very clean and beautifully artistic. The landscaping was very therapeutic. The food was delightful. The staff were engaging and I learnt a lot about Nanyuki and traditional rural living in Kenya which I really connected with The location is close enough to the road but still distant enough for quiet. I loved the evening campfire vibe. Very relaxing.

“Serene stay in nature”
Beautiful, serene environment. Good food, rustic feeling and a fire each night. Good value for money, especially when it comes for the price of accommodation. Fully recommend

“Enjoy the serenity”
Super peaceful location out in the country, tidy huts neatly spaced in the garden area connected by paths. Room was very spacious with good size bathroom, very clean and tidy with plenty of plugs and very comfortable bed. Nice porch area so you can sit outside have a drink and enjoy the tranquility. Was a nice breakfast area, perfect for a very relaxing start to the day and helpful staff. Cute cat and dogs to keep you company as well.
