Sanctuary Farm House is part of Sanctuary Farm, a 400-acre private wildlife conservancy and working dairy farm set along the shores of Lake Naivasha. Known for its intimate wildlife encounters and rustic, family-run hospitality, the property offers a rare blend of farm life, conservation, and lakeside adventure in the Great Rift Valley. For travelers seeking private cottages in Naivasha with immersive outdoor experiences, Sanctuary Farm House provides a relaxed and nature-rich escape just a short drive from Nairobi.

At the heart of the experience is the unique opportunity to explore the conservancy in ways few destinations in Kenya allow. Sanctuary Farm is one of the rare places where guests can enjoy horseback safaris alongside giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests, riding freely across open grasslands without the barrier of safari vehicles. Walking safaris offer a slower, more intimate connection to the landscape, while boat trips on Lake Naivasha bring guests face-to-face with hippos and abundant birdlife along the shoreline.

Dining at Sanctuary Farm centers around Kijiko, the on-site restaurant housed in a converted polo clubhouse. The kitchen embraces a farm-to-table philosophy, serving fresh meals prepared with locally sourced and farm-produced ingredients. The relaxed setting enhances the homely atmosphere that defines the property.

Accommodation at Sanctuary Farm is varied and distinctive. The Farm House itself offers spacious living areas with expansive farm views, ideal for families or groups seeking privacy. Additional specialty cottages include the vibrant Yellow House, the eco-designed Mabati House, and The Watch Tower—a unique two-story cabin with panoramic 360-degree views across the conservancy. For guests who prefer a more traditional outdoor experience, camping is available at the Acacia Campsite or the more secluded Amani Campsite, offering flexible options for different travel styles.

For those searching for farm stays in Naivasha, private cottages on Lake Naivasha, or horseback safari experiences in Kenya, Sanctuary Farm House combines conservation, countryside charm, and authentic wildlife encounters in one of the Rift Valley’s most peaceful settings.
