A unique, eco-friendly hideaway with walls that open to the savannah, allowing safari wildlife viewing from the comfort of the living room.

Mabati House is an unique hideout on the shore of Lake Naivasha. Watching game from the spacious open living room. Plus:Very nice restaurant on the premise. We'll definitely return!

A very pleasant stay- grounds of Sanctuary are huge and stunning. We stayed here some years ago before the flooding, and now since , and Sanctuary have done a remarkable adaptation adding lovely cottages since the Stables were ruined by flooding. Mabati is one of these, and was very comfortable and had all the facilities needed and lovely outdoor area. To hear the hippos outside your window late at night was awesome. The only drawback with Mabati is that there are no windows on the garden facing side- but otherwise you get used to opening and closing the mabati (i.e iron sheeting) doors that open up to the garden. Overall, totally recommended, with plenty to do if you dont want to just gaze at the animals and take in the wonderful sounds and sights!

We spent 2 blisfull days at Sanctuary Farm and look forward to our return. An idyllic oasis to wander amongst myriad animals and birds. The accomodation was perfect, homely and relaxed and suited our group of young and old. Amazing food and staff, we're already plotting our next trip. Thanks Sanctuary

Sanctuary farm is the perfect place to get away from it all and connect with nature, your book and the great hosting of Sanctuary! Mabati house was such a unique experience, the place is very comfortable, fully functioning kitchen, outdoor fire and the constant sounds of birds and garden visits from Zebra, impala and other animals on the farm. The boat trip was a very special experience. This was our second time at Sanctuary and we are already looking forward to the next visit.

We loved our stay at Mabati House in the Sanctuary Farm! The house is very charming and cosy. We had a very comfortable stay and well: nothing beats the wildlife just around the cottage on the farm. Your neighbours are Zebras, Wildebeests and Impalas and in the night you can spot Hippos - a unique experience. We had dinner and breakfast every morning in the Kijiko restaurant: the staff is lovely and the food decent. But as we read on the website about the local sourcing of the food and seasonality etc. we were a bit disappointed about the menu that consists of Western dishes only, we expected something more local. The price of the food was rather high, especially for Kenyan circumstances. So unfortunately the food offer was a bit disappointing for us and had a bit a bad taste in our overall impression.

This place could not be more beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. I hope in my lifetime for the opportunity to return. Denise, from Canada.

Thanks for everything, it was perfect - we really enjoyed our stay. The vibes are amazing, now I am dreaming to stay there for 1 month and just do nothing or try writing THAT book I am dreaming of :) Thank you!!

The place is an oases of calm. The team made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The house was clean and well-catered for, and we absolutely loved that we just had to light a match for the fire. Kids loved riding bikes with the wild animals :)

We absolutely loved our stay at sanctuary farm. Super comfortable, wonderful food and Jsut breathtaking to be so surrounded by wildlife (and hippos!) we cannot wait to come again. Thank you. (And really lovey and knowelagable staff).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . The farm is stunning and the house is a great base to explore from and very comfortable . Felix & his staff were very helpful

It may be the best place we have been hostelled in Kenya. Clean, silent, and well-equipped. Stunning view of the wild animals walking through the garden. The activities that this place offers are also exciting.
