Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort

The Lodge is perched on the side of the Eburru Escarpment, overlooking Lake Naivasha and the sweeping floor of the world's largest valley. The Lodge enjoys one of the most spectacular views in all of Africa. A short drive from the well-mentained Pan African Highway, the lodge is just one and a half hours' drive from Nairobi - or 30 minutes flight to its own all-weather airstrip. The Lodge & Golf Resrt sits at about 7,000 feet, from which elevation it enjoys magnificent views, to the west and east. The vistas stretch from the shimmering waters of Lake Naivasha to the jagged volcanic crater of Mount Longonot and, beyond, the sloping shoulders of the Aberdare Mountains - Kenya's most important watershed.

The Lodge offers 21 twin and 9 double rooms, all with private balconies overlooking the spectacular valley and a large waterhole frequented by antelope, zebra and buffalo. The rooms are located in spacious two-and-three storey blocks, and are beautifully furnished with large four-poster beds, handmade wooden furniture, african prints, and modern en suite bathrooms. Several of the rooms have interlinking doors that convert them into spacious family suites. Alternative accommodation is offered in 10 private cottages that overlook the sweeping fairways of the golf course. These sophisticated residential retreats offers a real 'home from home' with 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms, beautifully furnished lounges and dining rooms, and the same magnificent views throughout.

The social 'heart' of the Rift Valley Lodge is the clubhouse building, which offers fine dining and beautiful views from its panoramic restaurant and broad balconies. Around the clubhouse, the lush fairways and sparkling lakes of the 6,580 yard golf course fan out in different directions, all with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. The clubhouse offers a comfortable restaurant, 2 bars, and a luxurious lounge with a fireplace and satelite television for the use of lodge guests.
