Welcome Great Rift Valley Lodge & Golf Resort

From its panoramic perch above Lake Naivasha, the Great Rift Valley Lodge enjoys one of humankind’s oldest views – over the sweeping floor of the world’s largest valley.

Kenya's most important watershed...

An hour and a half’s drive or a 30-minute flight from Nairobi (24 kilometres from Naivasha town and 12 off the Nairobi-Nakuru highway), the Lodge is built on the Eburru a mountain that the Maasai call Ol Donyo Opurru, meaning mountain of smoke. The lodge sits at about 7,000 feet, from which elevation it enjoys magnificent views to the west and east. The vistas stretch from the sparkling waters of Lake Naivasha to the jagged volcanic crater of Mount Longonot and, beyond, the sloping shoulders of the Aberdare Mountains – Kenya’s most important watershed.

Golf

The 18-hole championship course at 7,000 feet on the Eburru Range is both challenging and exciting.

Meetings and Events

The Resort has one of the best confering facilities in the country with three conference rooms set in beautiful grounds overlooking the Aberdares and Longonot.
