Panorama Park Resort Naivasha

Mai Mahiu
Fully Refundable
Lake Naivasha Panorama Park was opened in December, 2007 to add on to the premier hotels in Naivasha after being under construction for three years. We have emerged to fill the gap that has existed in Naivasha town and its surrounding. Naivasha with its beautiful Lake Naivasha is an epicenter of tourist activities; as a result there has been a need to increase its conference and bed capacity not only to international tourists but also to its swelling number of domestic tourists.
