My wife and I shared one of the Green Park cottages with 4 other couples on 18 May 2013 for the weekend getaway and it was an "out-of-this world" experience. Green Park is within the same compound as GRVL and you can access the restaurant, golf-course etc. This was a bonding visit for us and we really enjoyed ourselves. We... More

My wife and I spent two wonderful nights at the Great Rift Valley Lodge. During our days, we enjoyed guided tours of Lake Nakuru National Park and Lake Naivasha. We particularly enjoyed our evenings with Daniel, the Lodge's resident bird expert. The food was good and the accommodations were quite pleasant. Unfortunately, much of the road to the lodge is...

We stayed here one night during a 12-day Kenyan safari. It is absolutely beautiful! The room was superb and the view was breathtaking. Service was top notch! Dining service was a bit slow, but this is Kenya. Hakuna matata!

We stopped at Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort as part of a 12-day tour of the Plains of Kenya. While the bird-watching and nature walk were great (where else can you see zebras and wart hogs on a golf course?) and the breakfast in the bush was unique, I found the lodge lacking. The facilities were lacking and... More

I have previously been there but I hadn't realize that every time I'd been there I was part of a business group for an event there - workshop, conference etc. I however went there in December 2012 with a group of friends for a 'fun weekend' and it was a disaster. All the waiters were serving the business group event... More

We arrived whilst the hotel was hosting a very large conference of Kenya Government people. This was stretching the hotel services and we felt like the only tourists present. Despite this, the hotel effectively allocated two people, Ruth and Jack, to look after most of our needs. The restaurant service on the first evening was largely directed at the conference.... More
