We were part of a birding group from Montreal, and alas, had only 1 night at Sunbird Lodge. The view of Lake Elementatia with the pelicans on it was splendid. There were 3 feeders on the patio frequented by lovebirds, purple grenadiers, and pink-cheeked cordon bleu's. Beautiful birds! 150 steps to climb from our lovely cabin up to the main... More

Very nice lodge consisting of duplex style cottages with a spectacular view of Lake Elementaita. Cottages have a small balcony with a hammock and chair, a lovely way to relax. Large, well appointed bath with plenty of hot water. Just off the main road, but feels like a secluded retreat. Large patio off the dining room, overlooking the lake. Food... More

I stayed at Sunbird Lodge for 5 days and really enjoyed my time there. Upon arrival, we were given a wonderful welcome and made to feel at home. It was way too easy to get comfortable and relax, especially as the lodge is tucked away overlooking Lake Elementaita. The view of Lake Elementaita was amazing, able to see flamingoes and... More

One of our stops on our two week holiday in Kenya was the Sunbird Lodge We were there for two nights. Upon arrival, we felt comfortable to us. Both the beautifully decorated "cottages" as well as the food and attentive service, everything was perfect. And the location is spectacular anyway. This lodge can be recommended unreservedly.

We went to Sunbird lodge for lunch together with my family. Sunbird lodge has a quiet great atmosphere. It overlooks the Lake Elementaita and in the distance you can see the sleeping warrior hills. This is an amazing place to be in. The scenery around is stunning, you can't ask for more. The lunch was very good and the service... More

Spent 2 nights in Sunbird Lodge just after Christmas, as an interlude between two safari camps. I was travelling with my mother and we both found Sunbird Lodge delightful. Very intelligently designed so that it provided creature comforts while fitting in beautifully into its surroundings. Very simple menus (limited choice), very well cooked. Friendly service. Difficult to fault. And only... More

Spent a couple off nights at the Sunbird Lodge at the weekend. It is very good in so many ways but disappointing in a few. Located 1km or so from the main trans-Kenya highway, it is screened from the noise by a bluff creating a beautiful oasis of peace. The views are magnificent with the west facing aspect capturing wonderful... More

We stayed there for new year's eve and couldn't have asked for more. If you're looking for a quiet place, look no further. The owner took great interest in the guests (myself and four friends) and made sure we were taken care of. The dinner and breakfast were great - I can highly recommend the crepes for breakfast. The view... More

We fell in love with this place immediately on arrival. Panorama views of lake Elementaita from pretty much anywhere on the lodge! The rooms are large and nicely decorated. There is a large terrace with a couch, table and 2 hammocks. From here we could sit and enjoy a cold beer and the stunning views after a day full of... More

We visited Sunbird Lodge at the beginning of a 2 week safari in Kenya. The location is amazing with fantastic views over Lake Elemetaita. Food, accommodation and service were all excellent and the lodge owners were great hosts who also came to our rescue and were extremely helpful when our onward travel plans faltered (nothing to do with Sunbird Lodge...
