Lodge Overview
Olerai House is one of Kenya’s best-kept secrets, a charming and relaxing getaway on the shores of Lake Naivasha, where one can be immersed in luxury and comfort in a beautiful farmhouse on a private wildlife sanctuary just two hours by road from Nairobi. Nature was left to take charge of this former cattle farm in 2001, and today, the farmhouse is shrouded in bougainvillea and the scent of wildflowers fills the warm air. Wild animals graze beneath soaring acacias, while down by the lake fish eagles swoop in for a kill or cry their haunting call as hippos harrumph close by. The bright, individually-decorated rooms are furnished with expansive beds and crisp linens, and the en-suite bathrooms are stocked with organic soaps and lotions to soothe the skin. The chefs produce unforgettable meals with tasty organically-grown or pasture-raised ingredients, picked fresh from the garden each day. The farmhouse drawing room is comfortably arranged around a crackling log fire where guests can sip chilled wine, relax and warm their toes.

Lake Naivasha Area
Lake Naivasha nestles in a complex geological cradle of volcanic rocks and sedimentary deposits. It is one of only two fresh-water lakes in the Kenyan Rift. The name derives from the local Maasai name Nai’posha, meaning “rough water” because of its sudden storms. The lake is home to 400+ bird species, and many buffalo, hippo, zebra, impala, leopard and giraffe. On the southern side of the lake, a host of thriving flower and vegetable farms that supply many supermarkets in Europe are also interesting to visit.
