WEEKEND AWAY
CHUI LODGE
Lake Naivasha
The Zwager family originally built Chui
as guest accommodation for Oserian
flower farm, naming it after the area’s
healthy leopard population. There are
eight, well-spaced luxurious cottages each
with its own veranda and views of the Rift
Valley escarpment and the Sanctuary. The
bedrooms have magnificent four poster king
size olive wood beds, roaring log fires, ensuite
bathrooms and unique décor. On site
is a large swimming pool overlooking the
waterhole, and four course candle-lit dinners
under the stars are highly recommended.
