General Description

The name Naivasha is synonymous with Kenya’s early settler community – and in particular with the decadent lifestyles of the notorious ‘Happy Valley crowd’. It is an undeserved reputation, for although a few led lives to excess here during the 1930s and 40s, Naivasha was primarily a place of wheat farming, cattle breeding and hard work. Lake Naivasha Country Club is situated by a beautiful crystal clear lake, 6,000 feet above sea level, ringed by some of the country’s most charming and luxurious holiday retreats. The lake itself is home to hundreds of hippo, and plains game and cats still roam the game sanctuaries run by several of the lodges and farms. The lake also boasts one of the greatest diversities of bird life in the world, with more than 400 species recorded to date. The old style architecture is solid and comfortable with a variety of accommodation in rooms and cottages facing the rolling lawns and the lake.
