Usually when I want to go for a short weekend getaway, the first
place that comes in my mind; the Lake Naivasha Area. Mainly because Naivasha not
only has very many lodges, hotels and Camp sites but it also has some of the
most exciting activities that I can do to relax such us, rock climbing,
cycling in Hell’s Gate Park, nature walks and so much more! It is also a very pocket friendly destination,
where you will spend an average of KES 5,000 (approx US$ 65) per person per
night on full board.
My Top 5 places in
Lake Naivasha
 |
| Chui Lodge |
5. Chui Lodge – Besides being homely and sweet, it is
also in the Oserian Sanctuary which i must say is beyond breathless, although a
bit expensive, it is the perfect place for that “I want to spend my dosh this weekend!” kind of place.
4. Elsamere – Truth be told i have always had a soft spot
for Elsamere. Maybe it is because I am a
sucker for history and truth be told, Joy Adamson had a lovely life story with
Elsa the lion and spending time in Elsamere, only makes me feel like I knew Joy
and George and their conservation work..hehehe! I know, you must be thinking “of
course you feel like you knew her because of the movie – Born Free” lol

| Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort |
3. Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort - Ok...I enjoy
watching people play golf and even though I do not play myself, this is the
perfect escapade to do just that. From the unbelievable neat moaned lawns to
the serenity green grass and the breathtaking cottages, this is the perfect family
getaway.
2. Enashipai – This place was an instant hit the moment
their launched into the market, probably it has to do with their awesome spa or
perhaps it is the excellent service offered , this place does live up to the 5
star category!

| Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp |
1. Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp – I know...you must think
this is my number one simply because it is new....which is partly true but this
place has its true form of connecting with nature. It is simple, way too pocket
friendly and has amazing views!! I think it is the tents that give me a Maasai
Mara feeling or it is the waking up to birds singing that makes me know this
place is amazing. It is not overly exaggerated or overly priced too and of
course with the current economy...let’s just say you will be getting your money’s
worth and so, so much more!
So, which are your quick getaway destinations and why are they you preferred getaways?
First time around. I like your blog! Got the link off twitter from Top Kenyan Blogs. I'll certainly be visiting Naivasha soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question, my quick get away destinations are Diani, Kilifi and Malindi because they're so beautiful and close to Mombasa where I live.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your stopping by shiko. Much appreciation. :)
