The original farmhouse is managed for visitors by Governors’ Camps. It’s an ideal spot to relax, taste the pleasures of Kenyan country life and explore the Great Rift Valley.

Loldia House, built in the Second World War, nestles under ancient Acacia trees. Lush lawns run down to the shores of Lake Naivasha, the Great Rift Valley’s highest and purest lake. Indigenous plants and flowers fill the gardens. There are beautiful views of the dormant volcano, Mount Longonot. Wild animals roam free on the farm. Small antelope wander through the gardens. In the evenings hippo munch quietly by the waterside.

Day 07: Lake Victoria
Full day enjoying recreational activities. Lapped by the waters of Lake Victoria, shaded by giant fig trees, and lost to the world, Mfangano Island Camp is an oasis of tranquility, an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The island has just one road and no other hotels to disturb the peace. The only way to reach Mfangano Island is by light aircraft, an adventure in itself. You land on a dusty airstrip, and then it’s a short ride by speedboat to the camp. Your first view is of beautiful gardens set on a secluded bay. Lawns hug the waterline, flowerbeds and rock gardens surround the camp. Enormous boulders sit at the water’s edge, a perch for cormorants or giant monitor lizards to sun themselves.

All the buildings are in the local Luo tribal style, walls of smoothed mud and clay, grooves of thatch and banana leaf – cool and airy. The dining room and lounge are fanned by breezes from the lake. There are just six rooms. Each set close to the waters edge, decorated with local handicrafts. Bathrooms with modern fittings are finished in local stone. At night the sound of waves will lull you to sleep. If all you desire is to laze in the sunshine, each room has it’s own private veranda with sun beds.

There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied during your stay here at the lake-side beach of Victoria. A visit to the local village and learn about the Luo culture and the way they live and also visit the local schools. The most fantastic experience here will be the visit to the near-by rock at painting museum, visit to the local fishing villages, bird walks and skiing.

The food here is as fresh as can be, fished from the lake (hopefully by you!) or picked fresh from the island’s vegetable gardens and orchards.
