Great Rift Valley Lodge is an hour and a half’s drive or a 30-minute flight from Nairobi and about 24 kilometers from Naivasha town.

 The Great Rift Valley Lodge offers 21 twin rooms and 9 double rooms in two- and three-story blocks.  The rooms are located in spacious two- and three-story blocks and are beautifully furnished with large four-poster beds, handmade wooden furniture, and modern en suite bathrooms. Several of the rooms have interlinking doors that convert them into spacious family suites.

There are also 40 modern three-tier three-bedroom houses – a home away from home, a designer’s delight complete with every modern amenity to make the traveler feel right at home. The living room, dining room, and kitchen take up the entire floor with the master bedroom on the top tier.

Lastly, there is a series of homely private chalets overlooking the golf course, with 2, 3, or 4 bedrooms, all modern amenities, and the same magnificent views throughout.

Set on the slopes of a small dormant volcano with un-spoilt scenery in all directions is an 18-hole golf course laid out around the Great Rift Valley Lodge and along the fairways are 80 generously spaced privately owned homes.

The front nine holes of the course enjoy the best views, but the back nine are where guests will find the more challenging and exciting golf. The lodge has 2 restaurants serving homemade table d’hôte cuisine and al fresco continental lunches, a luxurious lounge bar with a sunset terrace, and 2 clay tennis courts.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Longonot Villas is set on beautifully landscaped gardens of succulent plants and ponds and opens out to the mighty mountain that is Longonot, an extinct volcano from the bygone ages of the Rift’s turbulent past filled with dramatic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

On clear days, the mountain takes a double-take, reflected in the fresh waters of Lake Naivasha, the highest of the Rift Valley lakes. Each of the 40 villas is a three-tier three-bedroomed house – a home away from home, a designer’s delight complete with every modern amenity to make the traveler feel right at home.

The living room, dining room, and kitchen take up the entire floor with the master bedroom on the top tier. The ground floor with the two bedrooms opens to the garden with every floor giving that unforgettable view of the mountain and the lake.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Longonot Villas are ideal for families and friends wanting a home atmosphere with a choice of home cooking or eating out at the lodge’s restaurants.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Restaurant & The ’19th’ Hole

Great Rift Valley Lodge Restaurant sits at 7,000 feet on Eburru, the highland air and active lifestyle at the lodge works up appetites, making each meal look forward to. Fresh salads from the lodge’s eco-garden, succulent meats, and fish fill the buffet tables of the main restaurant.

With a choice ranging from ten different salads from the lodge’s organic eco-garden, the cuisine is specially prepared with your health in mind. Only the best ingredients are used to prepare every dish.

There’s something for everyone on the menu ranging from the Continental buffet to African cuisine with favorites like irio – made with fresh vegetables – to spicy Indian delights like chicken tikka. Those on a special diet need only to alert the chef of their requirements.

You are spoilt for desserts. There are fresh, zesty fruit salads and rich puddings like chocolate mousses and strawberry tarts complemented with ice cream or fresh cream with a selection of cheeses to end every meal. If you want to dine al-fresco under the skies, just let the chef know.

Golfing at a high altitude can be demanding. The exclusive bar and restaurant featuring quick snacks and main meals keep the golfers energized. Meet up at the main bar on cool evenings to enjoy the fireplace.

There’s a choice of liquors, spirits, and the barman’s special cocktails like the Eburru Sunset complete with the feisty colors of the sun and a delicious array of fruits and juices – with or without the alcohol.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Activities

Great Rift Valley Lodge Drive to the Natural Steam Vents in the Highlands The Eburru sits on grand vistas, enticing the active to discover its secrets. Sandwiched between the two walls of the Great Rift Valley, the massif’s underbelly is still active, spewing vents of steam into the air.

The Masai call the mountain Ol Donyo Opurru, meaning mountain of smoke. Soaring 9,365 feet high, it is marginally higher than Longonot, which makes it the highest point in the Rift Valley.

Drive or hike through the farmer’s fields to the steam vents, where you can hear the water simmer below the surface, releasing hot steam into the air. It’s easy to boil eggs here.

The Eburru high vales are still clothed in ancient forests with some of the rare species of wildlife like the shy, nocturnal bongo – an antelope that was once common in the mountain forests. Eburru is also filled with craters, one with a natural steam bath in the forest – carry your swimsuit with you.

Eburru’s peak is one of the few to give you a panorama of the three Great Rift Valley lakes so famous for their flocks of pretty pink flamingoes – Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementeita and Lake Naivasha.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Riding on top of the Horse or Camel

Riding the ancient land of Eburru is an awesome experience. An early morning ride to the plains is an unrivaled experience, the best time to watch the plains game like the giraffes, zebras, warthogs, impalas, gazelles, and perhaps the late hippo making it back to the lake.

The light breeze scents the air with the fire-resistant leleshwa bush. Enjoy your picnic breakfast in the land of Eden before riding back to the lodge. The scythes lead the horses and camels, so even if you’re a novice, you can enjoy a ride on the wild side.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Bird Watching

The diverse landscape from the plains to the peaks makes Eburru a bird watcher’s delight. There are 215 recorded species – from fast fliers like the Pallid harrier to the elegant goshawks; from the colorful sunbirds flitting on the flowers to the superb eagles scanning the vistas for prey. Keep your binoculars at hand.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Nature Walks

Great Rift Valley Lodge naturalist is highly skilled in natural history and every walk turns into an animated discovery channel as the naturalist unearths everything from secret moth cocoons to scats of zorillas (not to be confused with gorillas).

Get fascinated as the naturalist transforms the trees, shrubs, and flowers into a pharmacy of natural medicines, food for the pallet, or things to craft stuff from. A walk on the wild side does wonders for the brain and body.

Great Rift Valley Lodge Golfing 

(18-hole Championship Golf Course, Driving Range, Practice Greens & Pro Shop). The good game of golf has been around since the 1400s, something you will learn while at the bar (which for golfers doubles up as the 19th hole).

The Great Rift Valley Golf Resort on Eburru is both challenging and exciting, with golfers having to give right of way to the wild animals who have taken residence on the lush fairways and tiny islets in the ponds.

Flocks of Egyptian geese, little grebes, squacco herons, and blacksmith plovers nest on the islets and sun themselves on the greens without batting an eyelid at the golfers.

The narrow fairways, freeform greens, uneven terrain, and light wind makes the golf course extremely challenging. The 18th hole at 598 meters is the longest in Kenya.
