Hippo Point, located on the northern shore of Lake Naivasha, is a blend of fantasy architecture, from tiny Hansel and Gretel cottages to a mock Tudor main house and a Grimm’s fairytale tower. Surrounded on two sides by water, the estate features two romantic retreats: The Tower and Hippo Point House. Rated as one of the top retreats in the world, the eight-story Tower is one of the most luxurious and less known of Kenyan hideaways.

The 1930's Elizabethan house remains a relic of colonial Africa. Lovingly restored in 1998 to the highest standards, Hippo Point has survived to reflect fully the English colonial romantic character.

Resident buffalo, giraffe, hippo, zebra and gazelle grazing in the gardens and at the nearby lake, stand out against the soft, cozy comforts of Russian bed linen and warm wooden floors and bathtubs.

The Manor House (Hippo Point House)
Eight double bedrooms, a secluded swimming pool, an open gazebo for invigorating body treatments, and a team of dedicated staff will provide guests with the perfect base from which to enjoy the surrounding African wilderness.

A romantic morning breakfast is served outside, under the towering acacias, while in the evening intimate candlelit dinners bring the guests back to bygone days of wild simplicity and unspoiled elegance.

A stay at the Hippo point includes game drives, game walks, water skiing, mountain biking and fishing in the Lake Naivasha.

Furthermore the hotel can arrange deep sea fishing, riding safaris, bird shooting, polo and much more.

Having an own airstrip allows guests to charter a helicopter or plane to visit all of Kenya's safari destinations, Masai Mara, Samburu, Amboseli, with the services of a qualified Professional Safari Guide.
