Mundui House-Naivasha

The imposing 9-bedroom colonial Mundui House consists of two main buildings which date back more than 90 years.

The house’s central courtyard features an enticing swimming pool edged with colorful aloes, succulents and palms. A veranda runs the width of the main house, and wide green lawns slope down to the lake fringed with towering African fig trees and ‘yellow fever’ acacias.

Large, elegant rooms with fireplaces and lovely views make Mundui perfect for large groups, weddings or even a romantic break or getaway with family or friends. Meals are eaten on the lawn, under the trees with views of the lake or in the luxurious dining room. Traditional cream teas and Sunday roasts are Mundui specialties, and meals feature organic vegetables from the estate farm.

Wildlife such as buffalo, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, warthog and antelope graze the surrounding grassland, and many of the area’s 400 bird species can be spotted from the comfort of the veranda or when cruising the lake by boat. Other activities included in a stay at Mundui are night and day game drives, guided nature walks, bike rides, bush breakfasts, sundowners and visits to the ARR animal orphanage and rehabilitation center.
