1 Bedroom Place in Naivasha

The Watch Tower is a two-story retreat once used as a horse-racing lookout. With a bedroom offering 360-degree views of the private wildlife sanctuary, a kitchen and dining space downstairs, and a private outdoor deck, it is designed for couples or solo travelers seeking nature and peace. The enclosed double shower under the stars makes for an unforgettable experience.
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
🦓 Sanctuary Farm Conservancy — zebras, giraffes, antelope, and more roam freely across 450 acres
🍴 Kijiko Restaurant — our on-site farm-to-table dining experience, serving fresh, seasonal meals made from locally sourced ingredients
🛶 Nearby activities — horseback safaris, night game drives, cycling, and more, all available to book at Sanctuary Farm
🌋 Hell’s Gate National Park (5-minute drive) — dramatic cliffs, gorges, hot springs, and cycling among wildlife
🏞️ Crescent Island (5-minute boat ride) — a walking safari where you can stroll alongside giraffes and gazelles
🗻 Mount Longonot (30-minute drive) — hike an extinct volcano with panoramic Rift Valley views
Guests enjoy full access to:
🏠 The entire Mabati House
🦓 The 450-acre private wildlife conservancy (daytime only; no walking at night due to hippos)
🚤 Lake Naivasha’s shoreline, just a 5-minute walk away with boat rides available
Upstairs bedroom with panoramic windows
1 bathroom + enclosed double outdoor shower
Kitchen and dining area on ground floor

The easiest way to reach the Watch Tower is by car. Taxis and boda bodas (motorbike taxis) are available locally for shorter trips, but we recommend private transport for comfort and convenience.
As Sanctuary Farm is a private wildlife conservancy, a conservation fee of KES 1,000 per adult and 500 per child (free under 5) is charged upon arrival. This one-time fee supports our conservation efforts.
Please note that this is a family-run farm, not a hotel; we ask you to treat the house and grounds with respect.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks available at on-site restaurant, Kijiko.
Night guard closes the hippo gate at 6:45 pm, so please notify host for late returns.

Summary: We had an amazing time at Sanctuary Farm by Lake Naivasha in Kenya — it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip. The accommodation in the tower was both cozy and exotic. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and to prepare our own meals, although we didn’t cook because the on-site restaurant fully met our needs — which was especially important for us as vegetarians! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist us with anything we needed. We only stayed in the tower for one night, but what a night it was! In the morning, we woke up to find zebras and a giraffe standing right outside our porch — it was absolutely stunning and surreal! The night safari also exceeded our expectations. We honestly hadn’t expected much, but it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.
