ABOUT

Welcome to Sungura, a serene lakeside retreat dedicated to the preservation of wildlife and eco-tourism. The private sanctuary is the perfect place to relax, unwind and reconnect with nature with friends and family. Nestled on the shores of Lake Naivasha, Sungura features four charming cottages and two family homes, each with breathtaking views and direct access to the lake. The Lakehouse, the Cowshed and the Croft all enjoy beautiful views over sweeping lawns down to the lake, where an abundance of stunning birdlife can be seen. The Folly enjoys views of the majestic Mount Longonot, in front of which there are often grazing herds of gazelle and waterbuck.  ​ Throughout the property, you’ll often see families of giraffes and zebras wandering beneath the acacia trees, alongside herds of waterbucks and Thomson's gazelles. We invite you to stroll down to the lake and explore our picturesque picnic spots scattered throughout the sanctuary. However, as hippos come ashore to graze at night, we kindly ask that you avoid walking outside after dusk. ​ While our homes are self-catered, we offer the option to hire our wonderful chef or housekeeping services for a more relaxed stay. There are also plenty of nearby restaurants to explore—just ask, and we’ll be happy to share our favourite local spots. Guests can also access the amenities at the neighbouring Simba Lodge, including their swimming pool, steam rooms, and saunas, for an additional fee. ​ Upon booking, you’ll receive an information pack filled with local tips, activity suggestions, and recommendations for dining and sightseeing. Sungura is an ideal venue for family celebrations, wellness and yoga retreats, or simply enjoying a peaceful getaway in nature. ​ Please note, while we have two friendly dogs on the farm, we do not allow other pets to ensure the safety of our abundant wildlife. ​ We look forward to welcoming you to Sungura, where nature, relaxation, and adventure await!​​​​

GUEST REVIEWS

We had an amazing time at this place. The house is lovely and well equipped, but it's virtually impossible to overstate the delightful location on the lake, surrounded by wildlife. Sitting on the balcony and watching hippos coming out of the water in the evening or giraffes, zebras and all kinds of antelopes coming for a visit during breakfast were incredible experiences.
