Olerai House Location

Olerai House is a beautiful country home set on the shores of Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. Painted ochre-red, it nestles under yellow acacia trees and purple jacarandas and is fanned by a cool breeze from the shores of Lake Naivasha and is watched over in the far distance by the extinct blue volcano of Mount Longonot.

A dawn flight to Lake Bogoria, a soda lake and home to thousands of flamingos, is an Out of Africa experience. Flying over a skidding cloud of pink flamingos and the sheer white of dry soda, one realizes there is little to compare with the grandeur of Africa. On landing you are whisked to the lakeshore for breakfast where eggs are cooked in the lake's steam jets - boiling cauldrons spewing from the centre of the earth. Eagles slide through the air above your head, and all around are the sounds of Africa. A walk or game drive along the lake edge caps the magic, and then you return by plane to the welcome cool of the green sanctuary at Olerai House. A delightful boat trip to Crescent Island Sanctuary stops en route at a hippo pool where hundreds of buffalo and hippo wallow in the mud. Once at Crescent Island, guests Aspend the morning walking with zebra, waterbuck, giraffe and all kinds of gazelle - a rare safari treat. A gourmet picnic is served on the lake edge where giraffe turn to stare as you sip a chilled Chardonnay. A truly unique breakfast experience!

Olerai House has five elegant double rooms with bathrooms. All are beautifully furnished with natural materials and decorated with local art and colourful fabrics. Oria has added special touches to all the rooms and each has its own individual style. Fresh flowers, home baked biscuits and sweet smelling soap make each room a welcoming sight. The house lies at the heart of its own private game sanctuary. The surrounding plains and woodlands will soon abound with wild animals. Guests will be able to observe giraffe, zebra and antelope gathering to drink at a central waterhole near the house. All the food served at Olerai House is organic, picked fresh from the estate’s farm. Each meal is a gourmet delight with freshly baked bread, home made pasta, succulent farm lamb and Olerai’s specially made cheese and icecream.

Excursions and walks around Lake Naivasha are breathtaking. There are also visits to Hell’s Gate National Park or take a walk to Colville’s Hill for a little taste of Kenya’s White Mischief! Later in the afternoon, you can stroll among the zebras and sip sundowners at one of Kenya’s historical sites.
