Great Rift Valley Lodge

The Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort borrows its name from the stunning land it sits on.

Straddling the rim of the mighty Eburru, every view from the room shows a facet of the Valley’s dynamic vistas. Built around an 18-hole golf course, the lodge is leisurely set on a wide expanse of the massif – each villa and room opening to surreal settings.

ROOM & SUITE TYPES:

On a quick break out of Nairobi or enroute from safari, the Rift’s rooms are spacious with a lounge and fireplace and private balconies overlooking the Aberdares, Kenya’s longest mountain massif stretching 160 kilometres, the Kinangop plateau lying a tier below the Aberdares and the plains of Eburru littered with black obsidian stone telling its volcanic past.

FOOD & WINE:

Sitting 7,000 feet on Eburru, the highland air and active lifestyle at the lodge works up appetites, making each meal to look forward to. Fresh salads from the lodge’s eco-garden, succulent meats and fish fill the buffet tables of the main restaurant. With a choice ranging from ten different salads from the lodge’s organic eco garden, the cuisine is specially prepared with your health in mind. Only the best ingredients are used to prepare every dish.

FACILITIES:

As well as all the facilities you would expect of a professional golf club, the clubhouse offers a comfortable restaurant, 2 bars, and a luxurious lounge with a fireplace and satellite television for the use of lodge guests.

You can also take advantage of a wide variety of modern sports facilities, including a driving range and practice greens, 2 tennis courts, and a freeform swimming pool, as well as comprehensive corporate facilities, including 3 conference rooms and a mod ern business center.

ACTIVITIES:

Bird Watching; The diverse landscape from the plains to the peaks makes Eburru a bird watchers delight.There are 215 recorded species – fast fliers like the Pallid harrier to the elegant goshawks; from the colourful sunbirds flitting on the flowers to the superb eagles scanning the vistas for a prey. Keep your binoculars at hand.

Nature Walks; The Lodge’s naturalist is highly skilled in natural history and every walk turns into an animated discovery channel as the naturalist unearths everything from secret moth cocoons to scats of zorillas (not to be confused with gorillas). Get fascinated as the naturalist transforms the trees, shrubs and flowers into a pharmacy of natural medicines, food for the pallet or things to craft stuff from. A walk on the wild side does wonders for the brain and body.

Golfing; The good game of golf has been around since the 1400s, something you will learn while at the bar (which for golfers doubles up as the 19th hole). The Great Rift Valley Golf Resort on Eburru is both challenging and exciting, with golfers having to give right of way to the wild animals who have taken residence on the lush fairways and tiny islets in the ponds. Flocks of Egyptian geese, little grebes, squacco herons and blacksmith plovers nest on the islets and sun themselves on the greens without batting an eyelid at the golfers. The narrow fairways, freeform greens, uneven terrain and light wind makes the golf course extremely challenging. The 18th hole at 598 metres is the longest in Kenya.
