Accommodation

The accommodation consists of four units, each featuring three spacious bedrooms with comfortable double beds. Each room can accommodate between two and eight people, depending on its size. For those seeking more privacy or for families, private rooms with en-suite bathrooms are available at an additional cost of €105 per week. Great importance is placed on cleanliness and hygiene; therefore, each room has its own bathroom and toilet.
All participants are encouraged to use resources responsibly, particularly electricity, and to be environmentally conscious. Power outages may occur during the day, but there is no need to worry as this is common in the village. Water supply is readily available to meet all essential needs.
Meals are provided, and rooms are cleaned at weekends. However, all participants are expected to take responsibility for cleaning up after themselves and keeping the facilities clean and tidy. The accommodation centre is located near Greensteds International School and is only a few minutes’ walk from the southern entrance of Lake Nakuru National Park. It is approximately 15 kilometres from the city of Nakuru.
The food provided will mainly consist of Kenyan dishes. This cuisine typically includes a variety of vegetables, potatoes, eggs, bread, and pancakes commonly known as chapati, as well as an assortment of fruits such as oranges, bananas, and avocados.

Location

The city of Nakuru, located in west-central Kenya, lies on the northern shore of Lake Nakuru and has a population of approximately 500,000, making it one of the largest urban centers in Kenya. Once a hub of European activity, the region is now known for its thriving manufacturing industry, lively shopping centers, and major agricultural initiatives. As you explore the lush surroundings, you will be able to immerse yourself in the soothing embrace of nature.
