Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI)

WRTI, the state wildlife research institute in Naivasha, publishes a day conference package at KSh 3,480 per adult. It includes 10am and 4pm tea or coffee with snacks, fresh juice, two 500ml bottles of water per person, a branded pen and pad, a flip chart with markers, an LCD projector, a PA system on request, Wi-Fi, outdoor space for team building and a buffet lunch. It is one of the few Naivasha venues with a public price, which makes it useful for government and NGO budgets.

• Full board conference or team building, KSh 7,000: bed and breakfast, buffet lunch with a soft drink and buffet dinner, tea breaks, water and stationery.

Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge

Simba Lodges markets its Naivasha lodge for conferences and team retreats, with a conference room and outdoor activities. It does not publish room capacity or rates, so ask for a quote.

How to compare conference quotes in Naivasha

• Ask whether the quote is per person per day and whether it includes VAT and any levies.
• Check what the day package includes: tea breaks, lunch, water, projector, PA system and Wi-Fi are often bundled, but breakaway rooms may cost extra.
• Confirm the room’s capacity for your layout. A room that seats 150 theatre style may seat only 80 in classroom style.
• For residential conferences, compare full board and half board, and ask about single room supplements.
• Factor in transport. Several lakeside venues sit on Moi South Lake Road, some distance from Naivasha town, so budget for shuttles.
