Sawela Lodge

The experience was exquisite. I have sampled most hotels at the South lake region of Naivasha. Sawela tops them all in customer care, beauty, food and drinks, sanitation, clean spacious toilets and grounds for functions. All my family members were very happy with the overall experience. I would go back a million times. The manager, Mr. Ndungu, is very hospitable, friendly and caring. Keep it up Sawela.

Very fast checkin process, rooms tucked between well cared for nature, the rooms are very spacious, the restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes during meal times. The front office manager Nicole is always present to assist whenever you call upon her.

Excellent facility with professional staff who are very dedicated to their job. The staff are very efficient and warm at Front office.Spacious rooms with excellent view to the garden. Variety delicious food served at their restaurant by friendly staff. Kudos to Front Office team for excellent service and warm welcome led by Nicole . Thanks to gym instructor for keeping us fit . We will be back

A serene and beautiful place. Right from the front desk to the rooms. The environment is heavenly; spacious grounds, lush green grass and that chill breeze. Aaaah...it was a magical! The staff are excellent aside from a few instances here and there. We were checked in quite efficiently by the staff at FD. Kudos to Nicole, Grace, Caleb and the rest of the team. You all were amazing! We were then taken to our room and my gosh!!! It was breathtaking!!! The space! The bathroom! The balcony! Everything was just as we hoped it would be. Safe to say we spent the rest of the evening there just playing games and lazing around. Ohhh and a special shout-out to our house keeper Sam, anticipated and met my room requests. He kept our room so well and me being a clean freak 😁 well..you get it! The food was well thought of and prepared and we really enjoyed the experience. There was something different every meal time and that made the experience all the more exciting. The active cooking stations; those were amazing! The food catered to all age groups:kids and adults. You can be sure the kids will have an easy and fun mealtime. From fries, choma sausages to hotdogs.. they gave the kids a mealtime to remember! The activities available: a swimming pool with a lifeguard around. You can play water volley/basketball. They have a playroom for kids 2-5yrs, a movie room and game room too. They also facilitate nature walks to the lake, boats and a jogging trail. Our guide Joseph walked with us and even ran, when we wanted to up our pace. Very accommodating staff! We loved our time there for sure. And I could go on and on...but we will definitely be back!!!!! A time was had ❤️ thank you Sawela team for such a wonderful experience.

Love Sawela! Been once for work (in a basic room) and once with family (in an upgraded room). Let me tell you, yes, the upgraded rooms were pricey but they were new, super clean, light, airy and lovely. The basic rooms are also very nice, and I actually thought that was what I was booking. Lovely grounds, big airy restaurant with huge buffet, excellent service. Terrific!

We decided to have a girls trip at this gorgeous lodge with my girls which it turned out to be the best being my first time to have a holiday in Naivasha. We had a warm welcome at the reception with some refreshments where we also met Nicole(I believe she's the front office manager), such a jovial woman and helpful at the same time. We were in Suite 1 & 2, the beds were really comfortable and big, the bathroom was big too and best part was that the TV had Netflix (what a bonus☺️) since in the evening after dinner and some drinks we watched some Netflix as we catch-up. The food at the restaurant was mouth watering from breakfast to dinner. In short we loved everything and the staffs were amazing and helpful. Plus another bonus was the kids club and playground they have is really beautiful but too bad we didn't bring kids with us maybe next time we'll do so. The gym was good too but we didn't make good use of it but next time I personally will make sure I use it. All in all I'll recommend this lodge to everyone being a solo traveller, family, business or friends you'll enjoy the serenity this beautiful lodge offers. It's a gem and I also loved how green the garden is and the architecture of the restaurant Thank you so much for making our holiday memorable we will sure come back either as another girls trip or with families and this time stay longer ☺️ I've tried uploading pictures but it says error.
