Fisherman’s Camp
Fisherman’s Camp Restaurant is a popular lakeside dining destination on Moi South Lake Road, approximately 20 km from Naivasha Town. Set directly on the shores of Lake Naivasha, the restaurant is known for its relaxed, “funky” atmosphere, scenic sunset views, and the unique experience of spotting hippos grazing near the deck in the evening. Open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, it serves as both a breakfast stop and a sunset dinner hotspot for visitors exploring the Great Rift Valley.
The menu combines fresh local ingredients with international comfort food. The lemon garlic butter tilapia is a standout specialty, often recommended by returning guests. Other seafood options include deep-fried crayfish served with alioli and homemade fish cakes. The wood-fired pizzas are another major highlight, appreciated for their authentic taste and generous portions. Beyond seafood, diners can enjoy steak filet in peppercorn sauce, chicken curry, and a variety of vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes. A well-stocked bar offers beer, wine, cocktails, and fresh juices, making it ideal for relaxed afternoon drinks by the lake.
The restaurant’s terrace provides uninterrupted views of Lake Naivasha, offering excellent birdwatching during the day and hippo sightings at dusk. The rustic charm is enhanced by a cozy wood-burning fireplace for cooler evenings, creating a comfortable year-round dining environment. Fisherman’s Camp Restaurant is family-friendly, with a dedicated kids’ menu, high chairs, and open space for children to move around. It also offers wheelchair-accessible seating and restrooms, along with free on-site parking.
Guests should note that meals are freshly prepared and may take longer during busy periods, so ordering in advance is advisable if you are on a tight schedule. The camp also offers bicycle rentals for those wishing to cycle to Hell’s Gate National Park, approximately 15 minutes away, and boat rides on Lake Naivasha can be arranged directly from the property.
