Overview
The Great Rift Valley
LOLDIA HOUSEWhen you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and driven to Wilson Airport for your Governors’ Aviation flight to Loldia Airstrip. The flight takes around 20 minutes over the scenically beautiful Great Rift Valley.
Set amongst a family farm of 6,500 acres on the shores of Lake Naivasha, Loldia House is steeped in history and dates back to 1939. Guests are invited to rest, relax and enjoy a gentle pace of life.
Day 1The Great Rift Valley
LOLDIA HOUSEDuring your time at Loldia, you can enjoy a half or full day of activities on Loldia such as a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, game drives on the ranch, sundowners or simply sit by the pool and take in the views. Visits to our supported partner-projects i.e. The Kenya Bird of Prey Trust or Eburru Forest are encouraged.
Alternatively, head off super early to Lake Nakuru National Park with a packed breakfast. Enjoy a morning game drive around Lake Nakuru, famous for its abundance of flamingos and a large variety of water birds. The park was declared a rhino sanctuary in 1983 and is currently home to both black and white species which are regularly seen along with good sightings of leopards. A picnic lunch is served under the acacia trees overlooking the lake, or you can head back to Loldia for a late lunch.
On the way back, there is also the option to stop at Lake Elmenteita, a soda lake which is a critical breeding site for many threatened bird species and an important feeding ground for great white pelicans.
