In the privately owned 20,000 acre Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary just above the shores of Lake Naivasha within the Great Rift Valley.
Lodge description:
Chui Lodge is a private getaway as rare and impressive as the animal after which it is named
(Chui is the Swahili word for Leopard).
Crafted from simple bush stone, local Acacia, Leleshwa and Olive woods with a beautiful twisted Marula roof, it features pillars and murals with intricate African carvings creating the feel of an artist’s gallery.
The lodge and the swimming pool overlook a busy waterhole with the Mau Escarpment as a backdrop and the Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary is home to an astonishing range of wildlife.
Fresh vegetables and dairy products are produced on the farm nearby and therefore obtained daily.

There are only 8 luxury individual cottages, each with its own fireplace, en-suite bathroom with marble basin tops and a delightful veranda with its own view.
Three deluxe cottages in addition feature a cosy living room.

The warm shades enhance the earthy colours of the ochre enriched walls and all textiles in the lodge are original batik artworks manufactured on site.
