Lake Naivasha Country Club
This beautiful old hotel was the international air terminal for Kenya just after the Second World War. British Foreign Airways flying boats landed there as they followed the Nile south and into South Africa. Today, Lake Naivasha is only visible through the tall acacia trees at the water’s edge. The hotel occupies an elegant old house with wooden floors, cool doors and a long covered terrace leading to the lawn. Various wings and clusters of rooms and cottages are set on 30 acres of cool lawns, shaded by fever trees and accented by colorful gardens. Rustic wooden chairs and benches invite the traveler to relax and listen to the birds and watch the water graze, perfect for watching birds, aquatic life or sunsets. The hotel is a popular overnight transit point and is often busy with international tour groups. Provides an easy weekend from Nairobi. It is also a convenient base for exploring the many attractions in the Naivasha area.
The public rooms are elegant and relaxed. The comfortable residents’ lounge has a magnificent fireplace and large windows. The bar area invites with its Lake Naivasha mural and colorfully painted walls with floral stencils. Located at one end of the comfortable terrace, the dining room is light and bright, with a panoramic view of the gardens. On holidays and weekends, buffet lunches are served on the lawn. Daytime visitors must pay a hefty club membership fee to enter the grounds. The Lake Naivasha club is the most convenient place on the lake to explore Crescent Island. There is a jetty and several boats. You can be transported to the island where you can roam freely amongst the wild animals, or you can take longer trips to the lake to enjoy the bird life and watch hippos.
