Naivasha Kongoni Lodge

Naivasha Kongoni Lodge has Deluxe Suites arranged within cottages and three Executive Suites created primarily for couples.

The important distinction is that the Deluxe Suites are sold individually. Therefore, booking one Deluxe Suite does not automatically reserve an entire two-suite cottage.

Deluxe Suites

The lodge has 13 cottages containing a total of 26 Deluxe Suites. Each suite is booked separately.

Deluxe Suites offer considerably more space than a standard hotel bedroom and are suitable for couples, individual travellers and small families, depending on the confirmed occupancy.

Features may include:

• Spacious bedroom
• En-suite bathroom
• Private veranda or outdoor sitting area
• Garden or surrounding landscape views
• Double or twin-bed arrangements
• Tea and coffee facilities
• Room safe
• Mosquito net
• Work or dressing area
• Toiletries
• Wi-Fi access

Because the suites are positioned in separate cottages, their outlook, bed arrangement and proximity to the main facilities can differ.

Are the Deluxe Cottages Private?

The Deluxe accommodation is arranged in cottages, but each suite is sold individually. A cottage may therefore contain two separately booked suites.

If you want exclusive use of a complete cottage, make that clear when requesting a quotation. We will confirm whether both suites are available and provide the total price.

This arrangement can also work well for a family or two couples travelling together, as they can request suites within the same cottage.

Executive Suites with Private Plunge Pools

Naivasha Kongoni Lodge has three Executive Suites intended primarily for couples.

Each Executive Suite is described as having:

• A private plunge pool
• A Jacuzzi bathtub
• A spacious bedroom
• An en-suite bathroom
• A private veranda or deck
• Additional privacy
• Views towards Lake Oloiden or the surrounding landscape

These suites are the strongest reason to choose Kongoni for a romantic stay. They are particularly suitable for:

• Honeymoons
• Anniversaries
• Birthday getaways
• Proposals
• Couples wanting additional privacy
• Guests who want to spend more time in their accommodation

Executive Suite rates are higher than the published Deluxe Room prices. Send us your dates, and we will confirm the applicable supplement and availability.

Family Accommodation

Families can stay at Naivasha Kongoni Lodge, although the correct arrangement depends on the number of adults, the number of children and their ages.

Possible arrangements may include:

• A Deluxe Suite with a child sharing
• Two Deluxe Suites within the same cottage
• Family Cottage accommodation
• Additional child accommodation where permitted

Parents should not assume that every room can hold two adults and several children. Please provide the children’s ages before booking so that we can recommend a suitable configuration.

Accessible Accommodation

The lodge has published information indicating that one Deluxe Suite has been adapted for guests with physical accessibility requirements.

However, accessibility needs differ. Before booking, tell us whether you require:

• Step-free access
• A wheelchair-accessible entrance
• An adapted bathroom
• Grab rails
• A room close to the restaurant
• Reduced walking distances

We will confirm the available features with the lodge before accepting payment.

Which Kongoni Lodge Room Should You Choose?

Choose a Deluxe Suite if you want the most affordable Kongoni stay and do not require a private pool.

Choose two Deluxe Suites in the same cottage if you are travelling as a family or with friends and want to remain close to one another.

Choose an Executive Suite if privacy, romance, a plunge pool and a Jacuzzi bathtub are central to your stay.

If you are unsure, send us the number of guests, children’s ages and reason for travel. We will recommend the most suitable available option.

Restaurants, Bar and Meal Plans

Naivasha Kongoni Lodge has an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Meals may be served as a buffet, set menu or à la carte selection, depending on occupancy and the lodge’s programme.

The menu generally combines Kenyan and continental dishes. Guests staying on Half Board receive breakfast and dinner, while Full Board includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Should You Book Half Board or Full Board?

Choose Half Board if you plan to spend most of the day visiting attractions and will eat lunch elsewhere.

Choose Full Board if you expect to remain at the lodge during the day or return in time for lunch.

The standard-season difference between Half Board and Full Board is KES 1,700 per person per night. Therefore, Full Board can offer good value when you plan to have lunch at the lodge.

Bar

The lodge has a bar serving a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Drinks are not normally included in the Half Board or Full Board price and are charged according to consumption.

Dietary Requirements

Vegetarian meals and other dietary requirements can usually be accommodated with advance notice.

Please provide details when booking if anyone in your party requires:

• Vegetarian meals
• Vegan meals
• Gluten-free dishes
• Allergy-sensitive food preparation
• Children’s meals
• Early breakfast
• Packed meals

Dietary requirements should be confirmed before arrival rather than requested for the first time at the restaurant.

Facilities available at or associated with the lodge include:

• Outdoor swimming pool
• Restaurant
• Bar and lounge
• Landscaped gardens
• Private verandas
• Children’s play area
• Indoor or outdoor games
• Wi-Fi
• Secure guest parking

• Accessible accommodation on request
• Bicycle or local activity arrangements

Some facilities may attract an additional charge or require advance booking.

Wi-Fi availability and strength can vary according to the location of the cottage. Guests who need reliable internet for work should ask us to reconfirm the current connection before booking.

Naivasha Kongoni Lodge can accommodate small corporate groups, private retreats, celebrations and intimate events.

Its quieter setting is most suitable for:

• Management retreats
• Small conferences
• Board meetings
• Team getaways
• Family celebrations
• Birthday groups
• Wedding accommodation
• Intimate garden events

A group or conference quotation should be prepared separately from the leisure rates.

Please provide:

• Preferred dates
• Number of delegates
• Number of resident and non-resident guests
• Required room configuration
• Meeting-room setup
• Meal requirements
• Audio-visual requirements
• Planned activities
• Transport requirements

Visit Crater Lake Game Sanctuary

Crater Lake Game Sanctuary is one of the lodge’s most convenient nearby attractions.

Visitors can explore the crater landscape, enjoy birdwatching and take a guided walk in the sanctuary. Entry fees, guiding and transport are charged separately.

Take a Boat Ride on Lake Oloiden

Lake Oloiden offers a quieter alternative to the busier sections of Lake Naivasha.

A boat ride may provide opportunities to see waterbirds and hippos from a safe distance. Boat trips depend on weather, lake conditions and operator availability.

Always use an established operator that provides suitable life jackets.

Explore Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate National Park is known for its cliffs, volcanic scenery and opportunities to explore permitted sections by vehicle, bicycle or on foot.

The condition of cycling routes and access to the gorge can change, particularly after heavy rain. Current conditions should therefore be checked before travelling.

Visit Olkaria Geothermal Spa

The geothermal pools at Olkaria can be combined with a visit to Hell’s Gate National Park.

Entry fees, towels, meals and transport are normally charged separately.

Walk on Crescent Island

Crescent Island Game Sanctuary offers guided walking experiences among giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and several antelope species.

However, Kongoni is farther from Crescent Island than many hotels on the central section of Moi South Lake Road. Allow sufficient travelling time when planning the excursion.

Hike Mount Longonot

Mount Longonot offers a more physically demanding outing for active travellers.

An early start, suitable footwear, sun protection and sufficient drinking water are recommended. The complete crater-rim circuit requires considerably more time and fitness than simply walking to the crater rim.

Spend Time at the Lodge

Guests can also choose a slower weekend built around:

• Swimming
• Reading
• Birdwatching
• Garden walks
• Drinks at the bar
• Long meals
• Time on a private veranda
• Relaxing in an Executive Suite plunge pool

Kongoni works particularly well when the objective is to rest rather than fill every hour with activities.
