The food is exceptional.

Just incredible
It was truly incredible to stay at Mabati House. The surrounding are charming, there are animals everywhere and the house was just so lovely. Our only regret is we only stayed one night, there was 4 of us and for all it was the most magical moment of our trip.

Fantastic stay, we'll be back!
We spent 2 blisfull days at Sanctuary Farm and look forward to our return. An idyllic oasis to wander amongst myriad animals and birds. The accomodation was perfect, homely and relaxed and suited our group of young and old. Amazing food and staff, we're already plotting our next trip. Thanks Sanctuary

A real Sanctuary
Sanctuary Farm is one of the most special places i have stayed in. This was out 5th visit back and we have stayed in Mabati House, Rose Cottage and Yellow house. All are unique experiences, beautiful designed, simple but so elegant and full of little touches like fresh milk in the fridge, the fire places lit in the evening and of course all of the beautiful animals freely roaming around. The restaurant has great quality food - with a lovely view and the boat trips are very special. Thanks to all who makes SF a real 'sanctuary'. We will be back.

2 nights in Mabati house
We had a very good stay at Sanctuary Farm, staying at Mabati House.
The sanctuary itself is beautiful, with an incredible environment and plenty of wildlife and animals to see. The location is also very convenient for accessing Crescent Island by boat, which was a real plus for us.
A particular highlight was Kijiko Restaurant. The farm-to-table concept is fantastic, and the food was excellent throughout our stay.
Communication was easy, and both check-in and check-out were very smooth. The property was clean, and the fact that they accept dogs was a huge plus for us.
Mabati House itself is quite basic and, in our opinion, a little overpriced considering the level of accommodation and services. That said, you are really paying for the incredible setting and the experience of staying in such a beautiful environment.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Sanctuary Farm, especially for the location, wildlife, restaurant, and unique surroundings.

Really worth
It may be the best place we have been hostelled in Kenya. Clean, silent, and well-equipped. Stunning view of the wild animals walking through the garden. The activities that this place offers are also exciting.

The place is an oases of calm. The team made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The house was clean and well-catered for, and we absolutely loved that we just had to light a match for the fire. Kids loved riding bikes with the wild animals :)

The perfect escape from it all
Sanctuary farm is the perfect place to get away from it all and connect with nature, your book and the great hosting of Sanctuary! Mabati house was such a unique experience, the place is very comfortable, fully functioning kitchen, outdoor fire and the constant sounds of birds and garden visits from Zebra, impala and other animals on the farm. The boat trip was a very special experience. This was our second time at Sanctuary and we are already looking forward to the next visit.

You won't regret staying at the Sanctuary!
Stayed with my family of 6 people for just 1 night (unfortunately). The house, kitchen and bedrooms are not "posh" but clean and comfortable and when you open up all the big swinging doors towards lake Naivasha it is a stunning setting where you are looking out on beautiful lawn and forest with giraffes, zebras and other animals intermittently grazing just 30 - 50 ft away. We had an excellent dinner and breakfast at the Sanctuary restaurant and enjoyed a boat ride and walking safari on Crescent Island. Felix, our host was helpful and available and check in and orientation very easy. We enjoyed a great bonfire the staff had prepared on the lawn in front of the house, Would highly recommend this for a couple or small family. It was good value for the rates charged,

Mabati magic
A very pleasant stay- grounds of Sanctuary are huge and stunning. We stayed here some years ago before the flooding, and now since , and Sanctuary have done a remarkable adaptation adding lovely cottages since the Stables were ruined by flooding. Mabati is one of these, and was very comfortable and had all the facilities needed and lovely outdoor area. To hear the hippos outside your window late at night was awesome. The only drawback with Mabati is that there are no windows on the garden facing side- but otherwise you get used to opening and closing the mabati (i.e iron sheeting) doors that open up to the garden. Overall, totally recommended, with plenty to do if you dont want to just gaze at the animals and take in the wonderful sounds and sights!

Wonderful Farm in a perfect setting!
We loved our stay at Mabati House in the Sanctuary Farm! The house is very charming and cosy. We had a very comfortable stay and well: nothing beats the wildlife just around the cottage on the farm. Your neighbours are Zebras, Wildebeests and Impalas and in the night you can spot Hippos - a unique experience. We had dinner and breakfast every morning in the Kijiko restaurant: the staff is lovely and the food decent. But as we read on the website about the local sourcing of the food and seasonality etc. we were a bit disappointed about the menu that consists of Western dishes only, we expected something more local. The price of the food was rather high, especially for Kenyan circumstances. So unfortunately the food offer was a bit disappointing for us and had a bit a bad taste in our overall impression.
