Loldia House
The early settlers found vast herds of game, huge 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 its 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 bird-watching, 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.

Camp Descriptions
Little Governors’ Camp - the Masai Mara
In 1976 Little Governor's Camp was built around a small lake that teems with birds and wildlife. The seventeen tents are reached by boat, across the Mara River, and the exquisite setting is serene and romantic. The serenity is only broken by visiting hippo, which graze here at night, and by the rich birdlife that lives near or by the river. It’s like Governors' Camp yet more intimate and entirely under canvas. The tents at Little Governors' are very carefully positioned so that the private verandas overlook a water hole which is extremely popular with game, particularly elephant. Luxurious furnishings, private bathrooms, a fully stocked bar, wonderful service and a highly experienced French Chef ensure that travellers experience a true safari yet enjoy a high degree of comfort.
IL Moran Camp - the Masai Mara
Governors’ Ilmoran is for those who want that extra bit of luxury. The camp comprises just 10 tents situated along the banks of the Mara River. Ilmoran is hidden in the shadow of ancient trees. The camp recreates the atmosphere of the original hunting camps. Each room is furnished to a superior standard. The beds have been hand carved from specially selected wood from fallen, ancient olive trees. The interior of each tent also includes a Victorian style bath, flushing lavatory and double sinks. Each tent has a large, extended veranda designed so you can take dinner in private if you wish. All meals, drinks (except champagne selected fine wines and spirits), three game drives daily, game walks in high season as well as laundry are included in our price.

After early morning game drive, followed by breakfast, enjoy the rest of the morning at leisure. After lunch we transfer you back to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi (flight dept 16h00rs and arr 1730hrs.) On arrival at Wilson airport you are transferred to JKIA or a city hotel.
