This is a great spot to stay if you are visiting Hell's Gate Park. It's close to Elsa's gate and far enough out of Naivasha that you get the feeling you are in your own little piece of the bush. We stayed in a Banda and it was great. Arriving at the place can be confusing if there is no... More

What a place to stay. I could live here. The best food i have had in Africa. The design of the bar/restaurant is just amazing, its like the builder just came up with it on the spot and done a great job. The new bandas that have been built since the last time i was there are really cool. They... More

We had stayed once before on Lake Naivasha at the Fish Eagle Inn which is pretty much next door. Camp Carnelly's was way cheaper and so much nicer in so many ways - I would stay again. It's convenient for Hell's Gate and the camp itself is delightful. We spent a lot of time just chilling out here and soaking... More

Nice setting, very peaceful. Hard to get to and the local Matatu's were not regular. The reception was confusing and the way the rooms are labeled and layed out was stressful. The room we stayed in was horrible, overpriced, unclean, mosquito net with holes, stains on the sheets, holes in the roof. I would have opted for another room, but... More

We arrived at around 6 p.m. and so we couldn't see much as it was dark. We had booked the twin rooms for 3,500 Kenya shillings and stayed one night. The room was ok, had one large bed and a dressing table. the toilets and showers were outside and the hot water only available in the mornings and evenings. The... More

After a technical argument with our Sat Nav, we finally arrived at the entrance, which doesn't look to welcoming...but once you got onto site, the charm takes hold of you. Located right on the lake, the place is stunning. We stayed in our own tent for a few nights and the price was 600KSH per night, the guy at the... More

My sister and I arrived at night and checked into one of the old bandas. At first we were a bit apprehensive. They're very basic, a little rundown and there was a gecko on the wall. If you can afford it, go with a new one; they looked super cute. We plopped our stuff down and headed to the restaurant... More

We spent 2 nights here and were pleasantly surprised. Our banda was big, with a king size bed and two twin beds and attached bathroom. Bandas also come with a nice porch and relaxing area with big cosy pillows. Lovely views! There is a restaurant near that serves good food and even pizzas! The staff at the restaurant seemed a...

Carnelleys is a relaxing haven set on the shores of lake Naivasha, a place I can keep re visiting time and time again and be sure to get the same welcoming hospitality, delicious food (great portions!) and a cosy colorful setting, be it rain or shine. I would certainly suggest anyone wanting to visit to come stay here, being a... More
