Highway Conference Haven

Hotel Wagon Wheel offers 28 spacious rooms with deep soaking tubs right off the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway, best known for its Spur Steak Ranch grill and conference facilities seating 150. It’s ideal for business groups, road-tripping families, and couples blending work with Lake Naivasha getaways. Among hotels in Naivasha, its Gilgil-edge location—27-min drive to Buffalo Mall—provides highway convenience for quick museum and lake runs. As a local travel expert from Nairobi County, I’ve seen conference planners favor it for Rift Valley meetings.​
