Magnificently balanced on the shoulder of the panoramic Eburu Escarpment, overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Naivasha and the sweeping floor of the world’s largest valley, the Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort enjoys one of the most spectacular views in all of Africa. Just 90 minutes’ drive from Nairobi (or a 25 minute flight to its own airstrip), the lodge is the perfect stopover on a safari to the Masai Mara or the sights of western Kenya. In addition to playing host to Kenya’s most stunning championship golf course, the lodge offers exciting walking and horse-riding safaris in the ancient Eburu Forest, as well as mesmerising “trips back in time” along a string of volcanic lakes blessed with the world’s most prolific and diverse birdlife.
Location:
Situated overlooking Lake Naivasha midway between the Samburu and Masai Mara National reserves.
Accommodation and facilities:
Accommodation is in twenty eight, beautifully appointed guest rooms, all with private balconies, large four-poster beds and en suite bathrooms with all modern facilities. Guests can enjoy fine dining and exquisite cuisine on the panoramic clubhouse terraces, relax with a refreshing drink at one of the two bars, or simply laze around the swimming pool. The lodge also has a gift shop stocked with souvenirs and safari essentials.
Activities:
In addition to the superb 18-hole championship golf course and driving range, there are two clay tennis courts and a beautiful swimming pool. Other sporting activities include safaris in a 30-foot canoe on the lake, walking or horseback rides in the forests, game drives and extensive wildlife and birding opportunities. Heritage Hotels’ renowned Adventurers’ Club offers visiting children an exciting array of educational activities, treasure hunts and safari-inspired games.
Special attractions:
The golf course is one of the country’s newest and most challenging championship courses, all the way to the last putt on the gently sloping 18th green. The course boasts lush and springy fairways, with well-maintained greens perched between exotic acacia groves and a variety of natural and manmade water hazards.
