One of the most warmly eclectic places to stay anywhere in the Rift Valley, Hippo Point occupies a 1932 manor house on expansive, wildlife-rich grounds between Lake Oloiden and Lake Naivasha. The atmosphere is classy and colonial, and a wonderful sense of peace pervades the whole place – walking the halls here makes one want to whisper.
The extraordinary 37m-high Dodo Tower is one of Kenya's most unusual architectural treasures and an extraordinary place to stay. It's all very gracious and supremely comfortable.
