Spacious 5-bedroom safari lodge with lake views and wildlife at your doorstep.

Built in the 1920s, the Sanctuary Farm House is a gorgeous five-bedroom lodge with sweeping views of Lake Naivasha and the private wildlife conservancy at Sanctuary Farm. Designed for families and groups, it combines rustic charm with space to gather. A large kitchen, dining area, and lounge open onto a verandah perfect for sunsets, while wildlife grazes nearby. The property offers comfort and connection to nature in a unique conservancy setting.

We are a family-run conservancy and live on the farm, so one of us will always be around to help out. We share our phone number during check-in, and guests are welcome to call or send a message at any point of their stay with us.

Sanctuary Farm is located on the shores of Lake Naivasha, in the heart of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Guests can explore:
🌊 Lake Naivasha — enjoy boat rides, birdwatching, and hippo sightings just minutes away
