Naivasha Kongoni Lodge - Lakefront Getaway

Naivasha Kongoni Lodge was one of the lodges and camps that we stayed at on a 19 day safari through Kenya and Tanzania booked through Tapestry of Africa. We were a group of three, a couple and a single, and we found ourselves staying in a huge two bedroom, two ensuite ‘house’. It was gigantic and excellent! King size beds in each room. Both had large newly renovated bathrooms with large showers and nice bathroom products. The furniture reminded us oldies of being in real life The Flintstones. The lodge has a large restaurant and bar that overlooks a really nice pool. Unlike most lodges and camps that we stayed at, Naivasha Kongoni is a la carte. The food was very good. The drinks menu was large although some requests were lost in translation. What you got when requesting wine was more miss than hit. Breakfast was a la carte as well and very good even if everything that was delivered didn’t necessarily match its description. The scrambled eggs really needed the rest that was supposed to come with them. Naivasha Kongoni Lodge was another lodge with wonderful smiling staff, great accommodation and great food. We definitely recommend the lodge if you are travelling to Lake Naivasha and Crescent Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, either on an organised safari, or as an independent traveller, but be aware that it is on the other side of the lake and quite a way from the town

The most peaceful atmosphere. The views of the lake is astounding. The showers were amazing. The staff gave us such an amazing welcome and helped us settle. Kid friendly environment,the kids loved the playground and swimming pool. Enjoyed my stay

My review is copied from Google but I wanted to share it on Tripadvisor so everyone can see how amazing this place is. We came to Kongoni lodge as a couples safari trip. Kongoni lodge is located next to Lake Olodien, which is a smaller lake next to Lake Naivasha. We have had the best time and experience ever. The service that this lodge offers is gold standard and I cannot recommend them enough. We are both vegetarian and the chef came up with a new menu everyday to suit our requirements with HUGE portions sizes. Everyone was incredibly attentive and the hotel grounds were kept to a very high standard (clean rooms, pool, well maintained plants) - the staff work incredibly hard to maintain the grounds and this pays off as the area looks immaculate. Prior to our trip we messaged Bilha who works in Kongoni who gave us the recommendation of Steve - he was our driver during our time in Lake Navaisha who picked us up from Nairobi Airport and returned us to Nairobi. He was our driver to Nakuru & hells gate and had very knowledgeable tour guides - Steve in Hells Gate & John in Nakuru. He was always on time and very accommodating. Bilha also recommended Aden who is a local guide who gave us a bird watching tour of the area and he was the most knowledgeable man and just spending a couple of hours with him I felt like Iearnt lots! If you come here definitely ask for these people as you will have an incredible time. This place superseded any expectation I had of Kenya and I do sincerely hope you read this review and decide to book with Kongoni Lodge.

We are looking forward to a chance to spend a little more time at your property in the future.

I loved the rooms, the staff and the food! However they should put in more effort with the compounds landscaping.
