Loldia House sits on the north-western shores of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley, on a privately owned 6,500-acre conservancy about two hours from Nairobi, with views over the lake and Mount Longonot, part of the Governors’ Camp Collection. Small in scale, it has a master bedroom in the original 1943 main house, six country-style en-suite rooms and cottages in the gardens and two lakeshore suites, individually furnished with period character.
Dining runs from full breakfasts to a set lunch under an ancient fig tree with lake views and dinner in the main dining room, with soft drinks, beers, house wines and spirits included. There is an infinity pool set between old fig trees and a poolside spa. Experiences include boat safaris on the lake among hippos and birdlife, day and night game drives on private land, walks and excursions to Lake Nakuru, Eburu Forest and Hell’s Gate. Part of the Governors’ Camp Collection, it suits wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, families and honeymooners who want a quieter, historic Rift Valley base and a freshwater-lake complement to savannah camps.
