The Kenya of the pioneers was a land of expansive farms, carved from the highlands and the country around the beautiful Rift Valley Lakes. The virgin untamed land drew the early settlers, in those days roamed by Maasai herdsmen and wild game. With only rudimentary tools and teams of oxen, forests were cleared and fences established to open the land to herds of cattle. Although life was hard, the settlers enjoyed an outdoor lifestyle, walking, riding and hunting amongst the profusion of animal and bird life in the Great Rift Valley.

Quick Facts about Loldia House
Loldia Farm was established by a settler who came to Kenya by ox-wagon after the Boer war and is still owned by the same family today. He was a renowned horseman who chose this beautiful corner of Kenya to enjoy all that was best in the early Kenyan lifestyle.

• Nestling under the acacia and wild fig trees on the green western shores of Lake Naivasha, the present Loldia House was constructed by Italian prisoners of war from stone quarried on the farm.
• Built around a courtyard, its main archway frames a stunning view of the dormant volcano Mount Longonot.
• The house is set in lawns, which are grazed at night by hippos from the lake. Today's guest can savor the taste of this early lifestyle in Loldia's uniquely peaceful setting.
• The farm is ideally situated to visit the flamingo lakes of Nakuru, Elementaita and Bogoria, one of the great spectacles of Africa. Lake Nakuru also offers excellent viewing of the Black Rhino and the more elusive White Rhino amongst an abundance of other bird and wildlife.
• Lake Bogoria is one of the few places where the rare and beautiful Greater Kudu can be seen. On the farm's 6,500 acres, guests may walk or ride through herds of dairy and beef cattle and a flock of farmed ostriches, interspersed with impala, waterbuck and other plains game.
