Frequently Asked Questions

We're considering Oasis Eco for our Lake Nakuru trip. What's the real vibe there, and is it a good base for exploring the park?

Oasis Eco offers a comfortable, no fuss stay that we find perfectly suited for exploring Lake Nakuru. It's not a luxury tented camp, but a solid, well run hotel with friendly staff. We love that it's just a stone's throw from the park gates, making early morning game drives incredibly convenient.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see right around Oasis Eco, or is it all about game drives in Lake Nakuru?

While the main draw is Lake Nakuru National Park itself, we've spotted some lovely birdlife and even a few impalas grazing near the lodge grounds. Don't expect lions on your doorstep, but it's a pleasant introduction to Kenya's fauna before heading into the park for the big sightings.

We're on a bit of a budget. How does Oasis Eco compare in terms of cost, and what's included in a typical stay?

Oasis Eco is a great value option, and we appreciate its straightforward pricing. Expect comfortable rooms and good, hearty meals. We recommend checking their packages, as they often include park entry fees, which can be a significant saving.

When is the best time to visit Lake Nakuru and stay at Oasis Eco, considering both wildlife and weather?

We find the dry seasons, from January to March and June to October, offer the best wildlife viewing in Lake Nakuru. The weather is generally sunny and pleasant, perfect for exploring. Oasis Eco remains a comfortable base year round, but these periods are when the park truly shines.

Safety is a concern for us. How secure does Oasis Eco feel, especially for solo travelers or families?

We've always felt very secure at Oasis Eco. The lodge has a welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff who are always on hand. It's a well established property, and we've never had any safety concerns during our stays there.
