Chui Lodge is probably one of Kenya’s best kept secrets. Set in the privately owned Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary, this is an exclusive, exquisite paradise, nestled in a grove of euphorbia trees overlooking a waterhole with the dramatic Mau Escarpment as a backdrop. This setting epitomises the Maasai translation of the word Oserian as being a ’place of peace’. Chui is crafted from simple bush stone, local acacia, leleshwa and olive woods with a beautiful twisted marula roof. All the textiles in the Lodge are original batik artworks done on site, and the warm shades enhance the earthy colours of the ochre enriched walls. Magical bark cloth lampshades bathe the African antiques and fascinating carvings on the pillars in subtle light.
Location:
Situated in Naivasha, in the Rift Valley region.
Accommodation and facilities:
Accommodation comprises eight exclusive luxury individual cottages, each with its own distinctive character, en suite bathroom with marble basin tops and a delightful veranda with its own view. In all but one cottage there are fireplaces. Seven of the bandas have magnificent four poster king size beds whilst the remaining twin room has generously sized singles. All textiles in the lodge are original batik artworks created on site. Highly trained professional chefs deliver an exquisite array of cuisine with fresh vegetables and dairy products being produced on the farm nearby and therefore obtained daily. There is a superb swimming pool which affords great views of the waterhole and the escarpment.
