The lodge sits in the Great Rift Valley overlooking waterholes and the Mau Escarpment, a short distance from the shores of Lake Naivasha. Giraffe, zebra, buffalo, various antelope and rich birdlife move freely through the sanctuary, and because the land is private, night game drives and guided bush walks are on the menu alongside boat trips on the lake. Hell's Gate National Park and Crescent Island are within easy reach for cycling and walking safaris. ## Rooms & Style The eight individually designed bandas feature king-size four-poster beds, en-suite bathrooms, in-room fireplaces and private verandas; Deluxe Bandas add a separate lounge and views towards the escarpment or waterholes. A heated outdoor pool, spa treatments and wine-pairing dinners complete the boutique experience. Evenings often end around the firepit or with a boma dinner under the stars, and hot air balloon flights over the Rift Valley or sunrise photography outings can be arranged for special occasions. ## Who Is It Ideal For? - Couples wanting fireside romance and honeymoon privacy - Food-focused travellers keen on organic, farm-to-table menus - Families booking the flexible family suite arrangements - Weekenders from Nairobi seeking a refined Rift Valley escape ## Pairs Well With Explore the wider region via [Lake Naivasha](/kenya/lake-naivasha), or thread the lodge into the [7-day Lakes and Plains safari](/safaris/7-days-lakes-and-plains-safari) covering Naivasha, Nakuru and the Masai Mara. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is Chui Lodge and where is it located?
