LOCATION Naivasha is an attractive small town just over an hour’s drive from Nairobi and about 80 km north-west of the Kenyan capital. The town is the centre of Kenya’s important horticultural and floricultural industries and overlooks Lake Naivasha, one of the largest of the Great Rift Valley lakes. The Aberdare Hills Golf Resort is being built just outside this lakeside town.
Climate Set almost on the equator and about 1,900 metres above sea level, Naivasha enjoys one of the world’s most agreeable climates – especially for playing golf. Neither too hot nor too cold, daytime temperatures range from 20°C to 26°C depending on the time of the year. There is an average of 5.3 hours of sunshine each day and an annual rainfall of about 700 mm, with April and May accounting for a third of all rainfall.
