About Chui Lodge

Overview

• Chui Lodge comprises 8 luxurious cottages, 3 deluxe, and 5 standard cottages.
• The lodge is owned and managed by Lapieve Limited.
• This is the brainchild and design of June Zwager, one of the founders of Chui Lodge.
• Built in the late 1990’s this unique tourism property is nestled in the heart of the 18,000-acre Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary, which extends from the shores of Lake Naivasha to the foothills of the Mau Escarpment.
• The lodge gains its name from the prolific number of leopards that inhabit the Leleshwa forests that grow within the sanctuary.

Chui Lodge, situated in the heart of the Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary, comprises 8 luxurious cottages set in a beautifully manicured garden. Enjoy international standard cuisine under the shade of our acacia trees while you watch the wildlife drinking from the nearby waterhole.
​
The Lodge was designed and created by June Zwager; her vision was brought to life with help from the local community and her team of skilled craftsmen. The Lodge is built from simple bush stone, Acacia, Olive, and Leleshwa wood all sustainably sourced from within the sanctuary. All furniture has been handcrafted at our onsite wood workshop and every piece is unique and adds to the African flare of Chui Lodge.
​
The dining room, lounge, and bar area feature pillars and murals with intricate African carvings, African antiques, and ochre-colored w, creating an artist’s gal jewelry. A short walk from the main building and cottages is a large swimming pool with views across the waterhole and the wildlife sanctuary beyond. Having a refreshing dip in the pool while watching herds of giraffes walk down to drink is a unique memory you will keep forever. With so much space and privacy, time here moves slowly and one can lose oneself in the African bush without disturbance.
