About the property
Staying at Buraha Zenoni.
Buraha Zenoni is an independent property that Absolute Holiday Safaris books for its guests; we do not own or operate it. It is the Nakuru stop on our budget safaris and on two mid-range itineraries, so it appears on more Absolute routes than almost any other property.
The hotel is a multi-storey building with an outdoor swimming pool, and its rooms are furnished in a simple, modern style. After a long drive from the Mara, it is a practical, comfortable place to shower, eat and sleep before an early start.
From Nakuru, the national park gate is close by, so game drives can begin soon after breakfast. Many itineraries then continue to Lake Naivasha, Amboseli or back to Nairobi the same day.
