Loldia House is an intimate luxury lodge on the northwestern shore of Lake Naivasha. Set on the private 6,500-acre Loldia Ranch, it combines a historic country-house atmosphere with boat safaris, guided wildlife activities, personalised service and views across the lake towards Mount Longonot.

Part of the Governors’ Camp Collection, Loldia House is a strong choice for couples, families and safari travellers looking for a quiet alternative to Naivasha’s larger resorts.


Our View of Loldia House

Loldia House offers one of the most distinctive stays on Lake Naivasha. It is smaller, quieter and more safari-focused than the area’s larger resorts.

The lodge works particularly well for travellers who want to spend time beside the lake while still having guided wildlife experiences included in their stay. Guests can enjoy boat safaris, ranch game drives, birdwatching, gentle walks and excursions to nearby attractions.

Its small number of rooms creates a personal atmosphere. Meals, guiding and daily schedules can feel more individual than at a large hotel.

Loldia is also a good first or final stop on a longer Kenya safari. Guests can travel from Nairobi, stay beside Lake Naivasha and then continue to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Laikipia or another safari destination.

Loldia House Is Best For

  • Couples wanting a quiet and romantic lakeside stay
  • Honeymooners combining Lake Naivasha with the Masai Mara
  • Families looking for guided activities and flexible accommodation
  • Wildlife and birdwatching enthusiasts
  • Guests who prefer small lodges to large resorts
  • Travellers wanting day and night game drives on private land
  • Guests interested in Lake Naivasha boat safaris
  • Photographers looking for varied lake and land environments
  • Visitors beginning or ending a longer Kenya safari
  • Small private groups seeking personalised service

Consider Another Hotel If

  • You want a large resort with numerous restaurants and entertainment
  • You want to remain close to Naivasha town
  • Your priority is nightlife or a busy social atmosphere
  • You prefer a modern hotel rather than a historic country-house setting
  • You only require basic accommodation without guided activities
  • You want the lowest-priced Lake Naivasha stay
  • You prefer to organise every activity independently

Loldia House has an infinity pool positioned between mature fig trees with views across the surrounding landscape.

The pool area provides a quiet place to relax between activities.

Poolside spa treatments are available at an additional cost. Treatments may include massages and other wellness therapies using natural products.

We recommend reserving spa treatments in advance, particularly during busy travel periods.


 


Family Holidays at Loldia House

Loldia House welcomes families and provides a gentler introduction to safari than destinations requiring long daily game drives.

Family-friendly advantages include:

  • Flexible room configurations
  • Family rooms accommodating up to four guests
  • Short guided activities
  • Boat safaris
  • Wildlife around the ranch
  • Guided nature walks
  • Swimming pool
  • Open lawns and gardens
  • Child-friendly meal arrangements
  • Opportunities for educational wildlife experiences

Children must be supervised around the lake, swimming pool and wildlife areas.

The pace and suitability of activities should be discussed with the guides according to each child’s age.


Loldia House Location

Loldia House is situated on the northwestern shore of Lake Naivasha within the private Loldia Ranch.

Its position is more secluded than hotels close to Naivasha town or Moi South Lake Road. The quieter setting is one of the lodge’s main advantages, but guests should plan transport in advance.

Getting to Loldia House by Road

The journey from Nairobi normally takes approximately two to three hours, depending on traffic, road conditions and the departure point.

Private road transfers can be included in your package.

Getting to Loldia House by Air

Governors’ Aviation operates flights connecting Nairobi with Loldia Ranch, subject to the current flight schedule.

Loldia can also be combined with Governors’ Camp Collection properties in the Masai Mara, making it suitable for a fly-in safari itinerary.

Sustainability at Loldia House

Loldia House holds a Gold Eco-Rating from Ecotourism Kenya.

Its environmental practices include measures intended to reduce waste, manage resources carefully and limit the impact of tourism on the surrounding environment.

Features include:

  • Refillable bathroom-product containers
  • Locally made natural toiletries
  • Controlled low-density tourism

We normally recommend at least two nights at Loldia House.

Two nights allow time for:

  • A boat safari
  • A day or night game drive

Consider three nights if you want to add:

  • A full-day Lake Nakuru safari

  • More time to enjoy the lodge

One night is possible but may feel rushed, particularly when travelling by road.

Rooms at Loldia House

Loldia House has a deliberately small number of rooms distributed between the original main house, garden cottages and luxury suites.

This arrangement creates a quiet atmosphere and allows guests to choose between the character of the main house, the privacy of a cottage and the additional comfort of a luxury suite.

Main House Master Bedroom

The original main house contains an en-suite master bedroom. It suits guests who want to stay closest to the lodge’s sitting room, dining room and verandah.

The room retains the atmosphere of the historic house while providing modern en-suite facilities.

Country-Style Cottage Rooms

Three cottages are positioned within the gardens, with two separate en-suite rooms in each cottage.

The cottage rooms are suitable for:

  • Couples
  • Friends travelling together
  • Families requiring two nearby rooms
  • Small groups wanting rooms within the same cottage

Room arrangements should be confirmed according to the number of adults, children and preferred bed configuration.

Luxury Suites

Loldia House has two luxury suites positioned near the lakeshore. They offer additional privacy, generous space, verandahs and private plunge pools.

The suites are particularly suitable for:

  • Honeymooners
  • Anniversary stays
  • Couples wanting greater privacy
  • Guests staying for several nights
  • Travellers wanting a premium room category

A suite supplement applies in addition to the standard accommodation rate.

Family Accommodation

Family configurations are available, including interconnected or closely positioned rooms. Some family options can accommodate up to four guests while allowing parents and children to retain separate sleeping and bathroom spaces.

The best arrangement depends on:

  • Number of adults
  • Number of children
  • Children’s ages
  • Preferred bed configuration
  • Availability on the requested dates

Always provide the ages of all children when requesting a quotation.

Which Loldia House Room Should You Choose?

Choose the Main House Master Bedroom if you enjoy historic character and want to stay close to the main lodge areas.

Choose the Cottage Rooms if you want a private garden setting or need two rooms close together.

Choose a Luxury Suite for additional privacy, lake views, a verandah and a private plunge pool.

Ask us to recommend a family configuration if you are travelling with children or as a multigenerational group.

Dining at Loldia House

Meals are an important part of the Loldia House experience. Dining is intimate and adapted to the day’s activities and weather.

Breakfast

Breakfast may include continental selections and a cooked English-style breakfast. Early breakfast arrangements can be made when guests are departing for a full-day excursion.

Lunch

Lunch is normally served as a fresh set menu. When conditions allow, guests may dine outside beneath the trees with views towards Lake Naivasha.

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea, cakes or light refreshments may be served before an evening activity.

Dinner

Dinner is generally served in the main dining room. Menus combine local ingredients with international influences.

Special Dietary Requirements

Vegetarian meals and other dietary requirements can normally be accommodated with advance notice.

Please provide details of allergies, intolerances and dietary preferences when booking.

Activities at Loldia House

Boat Safaris on Lake Naivasha

A boat safari is one of the signature Loldia House experiences. The lodge has direct lake access and operates guided excursions from its own launch point.

Depending on lake and weather conditions, guests may see:

  • Hippos
  • African fish eagles
  • Pelicans
  • Cormorants
  • Kingfishers
  • Other waterbirds
  • Wildlife along the shoreline

Boat activities are subject to safe lake conditions.

Day Game Drives on Loldia Ranch

Guided game drives explore the private ranch surrounding the lodge. Wildlife sightings vary, but animals found in the area may include:

  • Giraffes
  • Zebras
  • Waterbuck
  • Eland
  • Impalas
  • Warthogs
  • Hyenas
  • Smaller mammals
  • Numerous bird species

Loldia should not be viewed as a replacement for a major savannah reserve such as the Masai Mara. Its appeal is the combination of lake, ranch and woodland wildlife within a quiet private setting.

Night Game Drives

Because Loldia House is situated on private land rather than inside a national park, guided night drives can be offered.

Night drives may reveal nocturnal animals that are rarely seen during the day. Sightings are never guaranteed.

Guided Walks

Gentle guided walks may be arranged within suitable areas of the ranch. The walks focus on plants, birds, animal tracks and the smaller details often missed from a vehicle.

Walking routes and availability depend on conditions and guide assessment.

Birdwatching

Lake Naivasha and the surrounding ranch support a wide variety of birds. Guests may see African fish eagles, kingfishers, pelicans, cormorants and many woodland and grassland species.

Birdwatching can be combined with a boat safari, game drive or guided walk.

Crescent Island

Crescent Island Game Sanctuary offers guided walks among animals such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and gazelles.

The sanctuary can be reached as part of a Lake Naivasha excursion, subject to water conditions and the planned route.

Entrance charges may apply separately.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Loldia House can be used as a base for a full-day visit to Lake Nakuru National Park.

The park is known for:

  • Black and white rhinos
  • Rothschild’s giraffes
  • Buffaloes
  • Lions
  • Leopards
  • Flamingos and other waterbirds

Park fees and other excursion charges are not normally included in the standard Loldia House accommodation rate.

Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate can be visited for its cliffs, volcanic scenery and opportunities to explore by vehicle, bicycle or on foot.

Access conditions should be checked before travelling, particularly during periods of heavy rain.

Flower Farm Visits

Naivasha is one of Kenya’s main flower-growing regions. Visits to selected farms may be arranged in advance, subject to availability and permission.
