Camp Reviews
Excellent African lodge experience. The staff is incredibly nice, helpful and caring. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, safe and exceptional. The lodge was very spacious for family of 4 and beautiful in African style. Each bed had mosquitier The water in the bathroom was hot (which is not that common and easy to get in Africa) The food was excellent and good selection between meat and vegetarian. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you !

We had a wonderful three nights at Mbweha while visiting Lake Nakuru National Park. Huge thanks to Dennis (particularly for helping us with our Swahili so patiently), Zaddock, Michael, John and of course super guide Saul. Such an incredible day in Nakuru NP which was made so special by Saul’s knowledge and respect for the wildlife around us. Lovely game drive experience with no radios and plenty of opportunities to quietly absorb the park in all its beauty.
Mbweha itself is superb. Beautiful rooms, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Kenya. A roaring fire at night and delicious food throughout our stay. Special thanks to the team for organising sundowners for us too! We noticed many people only stay for one night on their way to the Masai Mara which is a shame. I would recommend two/three nights as an absolute minimum… we could have stayed for longer!Mbweha Camp

Words are not enough to describe what an outstanding camp this is!! We stayed here for a night and wish we could have stayed here another day!! beautifully designed rustic stone cottages with thatched roofs, an open to sky bath tub all this right in the middle of the African plains, this property is unique and a must visit while in Kenya! The hospitality is par excellence.... George at the restaurant was super attentive and very friendly. The chef pampered us with made to order delectable and well presented dishes. The common area, the bar and the fireplace all made our stay so exciting and memorable!!
