ABOUT
Sungura (rabbit in Swahili, named after the former owner) is a lakeside sanctuary dedicated to the preservation of wildlife and eco-tourism. Sungura is the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy watching the world go by with friends and family. This private sanctuary consists of three beautiful cottages and a family home, and has direct access to the shores of Lake Naivasha. The Lake House and the Cowshed both enjoy beautiful views over sweeping lawns, down to the lake, where an abundance of stunning birdlife can be seen. The Folly enjoys views of the majestic Mount Longonot, in front of which there are often grazing herds of gazelle and waterbuck.
​
Families of giraffe and zebra are invariably seen grazing under the shade of the acacia trees, right in front of the houses, as well as herds of waterbuck and Thomson's Gazelles. As guests we welcome you to walk down to the lake and enjoy the gorgeous picnic spots scattered around the sanctuary. As we have hippos that come out to graze at night, we do ask that you don't stroll out after dusk and take care on your walks.
​
During your stay there will be staff around to help you, however the houses are all self catered, unless you wish to book our wonderful chef, or housekeeping services.
There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby (by public transport or car), just ask and we can let you know all of our favourite places. Next door at Simba Lodge you can pay to use their facilities, including the swimming pool, steam rooms and saunas.
​
On booking we always send out an information pack with all sorts of tips and pointers on things to do locally and all of our favourite hang outs!
​
Our beautiful lake-side home is a perfect place for family and friends gathering to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries and is a fantastic spot for those wanting to enjoy nature and peaceful relaxation; perfect for yoga and wellness retreats. Do get in touch to find out about retreats being hosted here at Sungura Farm!
​
We also have two lovely dogs on the farm, who are friendly to all, however due to the abundance of wildlife, we don't allow any other pets.
​
We hope to welcome you at Sungura soon!
