  • Awesome stay!

    After we’ve been to lake Nakuru we stoped at Isalaasha for the night before we went to Masai Mara. The host and his crew are super kind and very caring. We had a very nice place for our tent with an amazing view.

    The facilities are perfect for cooking and sitting together to end the day and reflect impressions. The shower has warm water what you don’t really find often on campsites.

    We felt very safe during our stay since they even had an alarm system. Standard of accommodation is much better than in the national parks. Would definitely recommend going there.

  • Isalaasha is the best camp I have ever been to. I loved everything about it from the cottages to the camp site to the swimming pool. The food was very awesome and up to class. The camp is the best get away because the environment is soothing,far from town,it's quiet and the only noise you get to hear is those of birds....I totally recommend.

    Scholarstica Nyakoi

  • This camp is nicely arranged, well positioned between Nairobi and Maasai Mara, and definitely has all the amenities one would want for a clean and comfortable stay while offering a truly Kenyan experience. Seems like there is something for everyone including kids, like the nice swimming pool and when we were there a tennis court was being built. Good food in the restaurant too! Definitely will stay here again!

    James Brown

  • Overall, I would highly recommend Isalaasha Bush Camp to anyone looking for a peaceful, environmentally conscious camping experience. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the natural beauty of the area is truly stunning. I can't wait to come back and visit again soon!

    Catherine Njeri

  • Isalaasha bush camp Is a perfect place to spend your quiet and private time away from the normal life in town, located along the Mau-Narok road. The camping site was amazing with all tents sizes to accommodate your needs, the cottages too which are own compound with a beautiful view of Lake Nakuru and Naivasha.

    The swimming pool gives you the feeling of a coastal experience and not forgetting the delicious meals served during our stay with the friendly staff.

    Will always recommend Isalaasha bush camp for your stay while in Nakuru.

  • Geweldig verblijf gehad op Isalaasha Bush Camp bij hele vriendelijke mensen! Fijne (warme) douches, wakker worden met een prachtig uitzicht en goed restaurant. Raad het zeker aan om te verblijven bij een bezoek aan Lake Nakuru.
