A beautiful old colonial house, steeped in history on the shores of Lake Naivasha. Kongoni Ranch is a private conservation area, open to all people who want to experience the real Africa, away from the hustle and bustle of safari tours. It is a special place, remaining on the sidelines of beaten paths overrun by hordes of tourists rushing to photograph yet another representative of the African savannah. Here, there is no need to rush anywhere, because the animals themselves come into the ranch, which is their favorite grazing place. The name "Kongoni" comes from a species of antelope present in the area. The ranch is located in the central part of Kenya, some 120 km northwest of Nairobi. It includes about 1000 acres of savannah, a beautiful garden, stables, and a holding, whose focal point is a century old farm, once belonging to Margaret Countess De Perigny and her beloved husband, Roger. Their tombs, made of white stones and placed in the central part of the garden, are today a visible reminder of the former owners. The farm is situated on a volcanic shelf, elevated high above the Naivasha Lake, which results in its garden being a natural viewing terrace. Its view takes your breath away. A wide belt of African acacia, beyond which gleams the flat surface of the lake, provides the basis for a panorama of extinct volcanic cones. The house has five en-suite bedrooms that benefit from modern bathrooms, and can sleep eleven people in total. The bedrooms are off a central courtyard originally designed to accommodate the countess’ house guests of which there were many.
