Lazybones Bar & Restaurant is the signature open-air dining spot at Camp Carnelley’s, located on the southern shores of Lake Naivasha. Overlooking the water and surrounded by lush greenery, the restaurant is known for its relaxed, “eco-fabulous” atmosphere, colorful floor cushions, and rustic wooden décor. Guests often enjoy views of colobus monkeys in the trees and, at times, hippos grazing near the lakefront, making it one of the most unique lakeside restaurants in Naivasha.

The restaurant serves a diverse international menu that caters to both local and foreign visitors. Its wood-fired Italian pizzas are among the most popular dishes, regularly highlighted as a must-try for travelers in the Rift Valley. The menu also features global comfort food such as Mexican nachos, American-style burgers, British fish and chips, and classic Kenyan favorites like sukuma wiki. Breakfast is served daily, and the full bar offers fresh juices, smoothies, craft cocktails, wines, and a variety of local and imported drinks. The kitchen is well-regarded for accommodating vegetarian and vegan diners, making it a flexible dining option for different dietary needs.

Lazybones Restaurant is designed for comfort and social relaxation. The space includes cozy lounge seating, an indoor fireplace for cooler Naivasha evenings, and large laid-back areas perfect for groups or long lunches by the lake. A games room with pool tables and darts, along with satellite TV for live sports, adds to its lively yet casual appeal. The restaurant and surrounding grounds are wheelchair accessible, making it convenient for all guests.
