WHERE TO EAT
Dining in and around Naivasha is relaxed and unpretentious.
Enashipai Resort & Spa, dining is designed to be unhurried and versatile, adapting to different moods across the day. Resort guests can expect:
- Menus inspired by both Kenyan and international cuisine
- Thoughtful use of local produce and seasonal ingredients
- Indoor and outdoor settings that encourage lingering
- Flexible dining for couples, families, and groups
Dining on property pairs naturally with spa time, sunset moments, or a relaxed evening before or after excursions — making it the most seamless option for many guests.
Beyond the resort some local favourites include:
Ranch House Bistro
A long-established favourite known for its warm atmosphere and consistently good food. Ranch House Bistro offers a relaxed setting suitable for lunch or dinner, with a menu that balances international comfort dishes and locally inspired flavours.

Kijiko Restaurant
Set within Sanctuary Farm, just outside Naivasha, Kijiko is known for its farm-to-table philosophy and relaxed, countryside atmosphere. Much of the produce is sourced directly from the surrounding farm, resulting in dishes that feel fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully prepared.
The setting is open, informal, and quietly charming — more about connection to land and ingredients than formal dining. Meals here are best enjoyed slowly, ideally as part of a relaxed afternoon outing.
