Kiangazi House
Kiangazi House is a luxurious colonial-style country homestead set on the hilltops above Lake Naivasha within the private Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary. Just a two-hour drive from Nairobi, this exclusive-use residence offers an intimate safari experience in one of the Great Rift Valley’s most scenic private conservancies. Blending classic elegance with wilderness immersion, Kiangazi House is ideal for families and small groups seeking private luxury accommodation in Naivasha with uninterrupted wildlife views.
Built from local stone and timber, the house reflects timeless colonial architecture surrounded by lush gardens and rolling lawns. Expansive verandahs frame sweeping views toward Lake Oloiden, creating a tranquil setting for outdoor dining and sunset relaxation. The interiors feature a cozy library, traditional décor, and an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. Accommodation typically includes between three and seven en-suite bedrooms, depending on whether the additional garden rooms are used. Each bedroom is individually styled with four-poster beds and classic furnishings, reinforcing the homestead’s heritage character.
Kiangazi House overlooks a natural salt lick and waterhole, attracting frequent wildlife activity directly in front of the property. Guests often observe giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and occasionally elusive predators such as leopards from the comfort of the verandah. The setting within Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary ensures privacy and exclusivity, with limited vehicle traffic and carefully managed game viewing.
Facilities at Kiangazi House are designed for both relaxation and recreation. The property includes a private swimming pool, a tennis court, and expansive lawns ideal for family gatherings or quiet reflection. The peaceful hilltop location enhances the sense of seclusion while maintaining easy access to the region’s major attractions.
Activities are centered around immersive wildlife and outdoor exploration. Guided game drives within Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary offer opportunities to see white rhinos, cheetahs, buffalo, and diverse plains game. Boat excursions on Lake Naivasha provide close encounters with hippos and abundant birdlife, including the iconic African Fish Eagle. Guests can also arrange guided bush walks for a more intimate understanding of the sanctuary’s ecosystem or plan day trips to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Nakuru National Park for additional adventure.
