Nestled deep within the Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary, Chui Lodge is more than just accommodation – it’s an exclusive retreat designed to immerse you in the authentic African bush while maintaining uncompromising luxury. Modern luxury is getting back in touch with nature, and where better than a completely private conservancy? With just eight sumptuous cottages set within a vibrant, meticulously cared-for garden, this sanctuary promises a pace of life that allows you to truly slow down and reconnect.

A Vision Forged in the Bush

Chui Lodge is the realisation of June Zwager’s vision, brought to life with the skill of local artisans and craftsmen. The design itself is a tribute to its surroundings, built from simple bush stone, Acacia, Olive, and Leleshwa wood, all sustainably sourced from within the sanctuary. Every piece of furniture, hand-crafted in the on-site workshop, is unique, lending a rich, distinctive African flair to the entire property.

Unforgettable Moments

Imagine sipping a refreshing drink from the swimming pool, perfectly situated to overlook the waterhole and the wildlife sanctuary beyond. With abundant space and complete privacy time at Chui Lodge moves slowly, allowing you to lose yourself in the rhythms of the African bush, undisturbed.

Exclusive Accommodation

The lodge offers eight well-spaced, luxurious bandas (cottages), each featuring an en-suite bathroom, unique decor, and a private veranda offering spectacular views of the Rift Valley escarpment and the Wildlife Sanctuary. Choose from five standard or three larger deluxe rooms. Within, you will find magnificent four-poster king-size beds crafted from olive wood, roaring log fires for chilly evenings, and unique, individual décor that ensures no two rooms are alike. Deluxe rooms elevate the experience further with separate lounge areas, perfect for unwinding. All cottages feature daily restocked tea/coffee stations and mini-bars.

Farm-to-Table Safari Dining

Dining at Chui Lodge is a culinary journey, guided by professionally trained chefs. The commitment to fresh, quality ingredients is evident, with much of the produce sourced directly from the lodge’s organic vegetable farm and dairy.

Enjoy meals under the shade of acacia trees while watching wildlife at the nearby waterhole. Meals can be served either fireside in the dining room or romantically candle-lit under the spectacular African stars, often accompanied by the distant call of hyenas.

Activities and Exploration

Your stay is entirely bespoke. Professional safari guides are on hand to tailor daily activities to your exact interests. Options include:

• Day and night game drives in the Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary with a sundowner
• Boat cruises on Lake Naivasha or a sunrise boat trip watching the Hippos retire after their night grazing
• Guided bush walks
• Unique experiences like candlelit dinners deep within the sanctuary or bush breakfasts overlooking the plains
• Day trips to nearby Rift Valley gems like Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementaita, and Eburru forest.

Getting There

Located just a scenic 2 to 2.5-hour drive from Nairobi, the journey is straightforward on a fully tarmac road to the Sanctuary gate. For a swifter arrival, scheduled or private charter flights take only twenty minutes from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Loldia Airstrip, a short 20-minute transfer from the lodge. We also have an on-site airstrip for private charters.
