Fisherman’s Camp Naivasha

Fisherman’s Camp Naivasha is situated on the shores of Lake Naivasha, within the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. The camp is 20 km along the South Lake Road from Naivasha Town and 2 hour’s drive from Nairobi. Fisherman’s Camp on the shores of Lake Naivasha extends from a beautiful canopy of acacia trees up into the hills, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding areas.

A great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, relax by the lake, or set yourself up for an amazing Kenyan adventure! Fisherman’s is also home to the fantastic Rift Valley Festival – a gathering of local and international music artists, combining traditional African roots and global styles.

Fisherman’s Camp is situated on two levels, with a range of accommodation options to suit a variety of budgets. Bottom Camp offers camping, banda (small chalets), and dormitory accommodation, which is set on the beautiful green lawns at the water’s edge.

Top Camp sits above South Lake Road and has a number of cottages to suit a range of budgets, all with a veranda overlooking the Lake. Lavatory facilities are shared. The camp overlooks Lake Naivasha, offering breathtaking views of the Aberdare Mountains.

The Fisherman’s Bar overlooks the campground and offers a wide variety of meals. The bar and restaurant is a place to relax and enjoy a cold drink whilst watching the black-and-white colobus monkeys or the changing colors of the lake. Fisherman’s well-known and well-reputed restaurant has a selection of delicious dishes to suit all tastes.

Some of our best sellers are Swahili fish and crayfish, Chicken in a BBQ sauce, Crispy whole fried tilapia in garlic and ginger, Swahili Red beans cooked in coconut and tamarind, traditional ugali, and tasty local Pepper steaks to a hearty fry-up, not to mention a cold Tusker beer or honey Dawa cocktail as you watch the sun go down.

Fisherman’s Camp Naivasha also has soups, burgers, vegetarian meals, salads, and a range of traditional Kenyan dishes. Desserts include the ever-popular Amarula cheesecake and Sticky chocolate cake. Breakfast and snacks are served all day. The camp is happy to cater group meals and has a range of options at very reasonable prices.

Come and visit us, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy a cold Tusker beer whilst watching the hippos grazing at the lake shores. Safari njema!

Fisherman’s provides all the luxuries to make your camping as comfortable as possible, with tents and mattresses available for hire. All you need is to turn up, a piping hot shower awaits your arrival, and clean flushing toilets. The camp is within an electric fence, which keeps hippos at a safe viewing distance.

Activities available are boat rides, fishing, horse riding, bird watching, rock climbing, mountain biking, walking safaris, and canoeing/rafting. There is an on-site swimming pool, barbecue facilities, and laundry facilities available on request.
