I went there for a weekend break in January 2013. The place is easily accessible off the South lake road. The service was nice, staff were polite and understanding. The food menu though very simple it was very tasty. The place is on the shores of lake Naivasha, it is quiet with minimal disturbance. Ideal for a honeymoon gateway or... More

The title says it all, Elsamere, beyond the rich and fascinating history of the place and of the people who created it, is a quite and cosy lodge on the shore of Lake Naivasha. What I liked there is the beautiful garden, the excellent food (don't miss the pastries and cakes at tea time), the beautiful views on the lake... More

We stayed for two nights in December 2012. The rooms were nicely equipped, showers had hot water, food was good, and we loved learning more about Joy and George Abramson and their life work. The grounds are immaculate and the staff very attentive. We particularly enjoyed sitting on at strategically located tables on the expansive lawn watching the antics of... More

We visited the Joy and George Adamson home in Lake Naivasha, which is now being run as a research centre, field study, museum and accommodation. We took the day package which included a viewing of a documentary on the amazing work that Joy and George were involved in, a visit to the on-site museum, and afternoon tea on the lawn.... More

We visited mid December, with a group of friends and spent a night here. We had lunch at a different lodge still Naivasha, and were booked here for dinner and breakfast the following day.Would say the service was excellent, and better than even some other highly priced lodges/hotels in Naivasha. The location: best so far. very close to the lake,... More

Went here for lunch and there were no disappointments. I particularly loved the setting and the location, close to Lake Naivasha and the Hells Gate Park. After lunch, we took walks around and it was breathtaking. Spent the whole afternoon relaxing in the shades, listening to birds singing and gazing at the spectacular views of Lake Naivasha. Staff were warm... More

This is an interesting place for who wants to know more about George and Joy Adamson, and near to Hell's gate national Park, Crater Lake, etc. The situation is lovely, quiet, with a very nice garden where you take your afternoon coffee with cake and biscuits. You can take a boat ride right at the lodge to watch birds and... More

We stayed at this unique location for two nights. The Lodge has a very special atmosphere and is full of objects and paintings of famous Joy Adamson. The cottage was a little spartan but clean and the bed was comfortable. The park-like garden with its huge acacia trees overlooking Lake Naivasha makes up for a great scenery. Hippos grazing around... More

I merely would like here to concur wiht the one of the previous reviews, by Boutip. Location is very good, proximity to Hell's Gate National Park is very convenient, 20 min drive to Crater lake. You will see game almost at your doorstep. Conditions could be better (except Adamsons' house itself), and, despite quality, the quantity of food may be... More
