Highly recommend staying here while in the Lake Naivasha area. Patrick and his staff were such wonderful, warm and inviting hosts. It was a pleasure to stay at this cozy home. The breakfast that was served was one of our favorite and flavorful meals in Kenya. Thank you again !

Der Aufenthalt bei Patrick (und seinem Spitzenkoch!) im Merinja Guest House war genau, was wir nach einer Woche Reise brauchten. Die ruhige, grüne Umgebung und der einladende Garten mit Hängematten sind eine richtige Oase, um sich zu erholen. Am Abend hat uns der Koch mit lokalen, sehr schmackhaftem Essen verwöhnt. Wer Grünes mag, wählt Sukumawiki oder Managu :). Gleichzeitig sind freilaufende Giraffen, Zebras, Gnus und Antilopen nur einen Katzensprung entfernt. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben. Nochmals vielen Dank, lieber Patrick!
