Loldia House

Part of one of Kenya's oldest farms, Loldia House is on the shore of Lake Naivasha, with stunning views of Mount Longonot. Naivasha is one of seven lakes along the Great Rift Valley with no obvious outflow. Water pours in from the rainfall on the surrounding land, while a high level of evaporation keeps levels fairly constant. Despite this the lake has freshwater.

The main building was an old private house. The nine rooms are either in this house or in cottages and all have en-suite facilities. Many of them have authentic furniture and fireplaces for a traditional feel. Some meals are served on the lawn on which hippos graze at other times.

From here it is possible to fish or enjoy exceptional bird watching on Lake Naivasha. It is also possible to walk on the large estate. Guests can visit local game Parks and Hell's Gate National Park, with its stunning canyons, hot springs and wildlife. Late night game drives are also available from Lolida House.
