Mbweha Camp

• Accommodations

Mbweha Camp is a mid-range accommodation facility that is located about 25 minutes away from the national park in the southeastern part of Kenya. The camp is strategically located in the Great Rift Valley and surrounded by a variety of wildlife especially the bird species as it is commonly known as a birding hub and this has made it one of the most popular accommodation facilities in Nakuru. It covers over 6400 acres of Congreve conservancy which is directly adjacent to Lake Nakuru. Enjoy a combination of both luxurious and affordable rooms throughout your safari stay in Kenya’s Nakuru National Park. The camp has a fireplace that is surrounded by beautiful white sofas where guests can relax after a long day of participating in the different safari activities. The fireplace is also a good place to get some warmth during the cool nights and the staff that is always welcoming makes the safari experience more satisfying and comfortable as they meet the expectations of the guests.

The camp is open all year round and can be booked at any time of the year but as it is the norm with other safari lodges, we advise that you book in advance, especially during the dry/peak season with the large crowds of tourists that are usually seen during this time.

Safari activities offered at the camp

The strategic location of the Mbweha camp right outside the national park ensures that there are a lot of activities that guests can engage in including the following:

Safari day and night drives: a 4×4 safari vehicle carrying a maximum of 6 guests per vehicle is used to drive the guests around the national park. Carried out with an experienced guide who knows the best wildlife viewing spots, the game drive enables you to see the different animals in the Park some of which include white rhinos, lions leopards, zebras, wildebeests, waterbucks, Thomson’s gazelles, hippos, hyenas and wildebeests among others. The night drive starts late evening and a spotlight is used to help with spotting the nocturnal animals.
