A bumpy drive off the main road for 20-30 minutes leading to the Great Rift Valley Lodge. A bit of a surprise to see the lodge towering on the hill with some of the rooms standing 3 storeys high. Not the aesthetically pleasing authentic lodge I'm used to. On appoach to the lodge that thought quickly passed as I saw... More

Thank you for taking time to post this review. Your feedback is appreciated. Allow me to mention that there is actually a lot you can do in Naivasha. You could go Boating in Lake Naivasha, Visit the Hells Gate, Go Climb Mt. Loungonot, do a walk around and see the rich species of Birds and Butterflies. Try Horsing. The List... More

From the moment we arrived we were treated with great care. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We were shown to our beautiful room with an amazing view. The golf course was such fun and to see zebra's on it was an Americans dream! We enjoyed the food and the friendly staff who took great care of us. They had... More

It was a pleasant experience at GRVL. Traveled with our children and wondered if we would be able to play a round of golf. However, thanks to the kids adventure club, they kept the kids busy while we played some golf. The course is very scenic with nice views. The staff are also very considerate of children's needs and were... More

This was an excellent location, in beautiful surroundings and the communal facilities were good. The view from the room was quite spectacular. It was a shame that there was limited hanging space, particularly as we were there for a wedding, and had nowhere to hang our smart clothes. The plumbing also needed some attention, as the shower would not drain... More

We stayed here in March 2012 as part of a Heritage Flying Safari. Facilities are first class and the rooms are spacious and well appointed although the shower/ washroom area was perhaps a little small. The views are wonderful.We didn't have time to try the pool but it certainly looked good. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff here.... More

This is to register my outmost appreciation to Neli Nkonge of Great Rift Valley Lodge for her exemplary services, honesty and hospitality during my visit to the GRVL in Naivasha. I do also note the extra ordinary services Kennedy from the main restaurant gave to us during the entire duration of our visit. Finally to Ruth Wanjiku at the Headquarter... More

Stayed there a couple of years back now, but truly is an amazing location. It's perfect for interrupting your safaris and having a bit of down time. The rooms are just stunning, food and service excellent, what's not to like. Playing a round of golf will be something of a sobering experience, (going on safari can mask you from some... More
