LOLDIA HOUSE
The early settlers found vast herds of game, vast numbers of predators and a profusion of birdlife around these spectacular lakes. They lived an outdoor lifestyle: riding, hunting, fishing, and walking. Loldia House was established by a settler who arrived by ox-wagon just after the Boer War and it's still owned by the same family today. Nestled under acacia and wild fig trees on the western shores of Lake Naivasha, there are just a handful of comfortable double rooms with en suite bathrooms here. The cuisine and the service are both absolutely first rate. The farm is ideally situated to visit the flamingo lakes of Nakuru and Elementaita, with Nakuru offering excellent viewing chances for white rhino seen amongst an abundance of other bird and animal life. The 6,500 acres of farm is well stocked with herds of cattle and a flock of farmed ostriches,
interspersed with impala, waterbuck, and other plains game. Boat trips may be arranged on Lake Naivasha for fishing and birdwatching, and visits can be made to Hell's Gate National Park with its spectacular canyon, hot springs and high raptor population. Activities are tailor made for each guest.
