weddings & events 

We can host weddings and events at Ajabu House.  From small and intimate functions to those with over five hundred guests.  In this respect we justifiably consider ourselves to be expert wedding organizers, and we leave no stone unturned in order to ensure total perfection for one of life’s most important of events.

In order to achieve this, it goes without saying that we will meticulously go through every single detail with you to include the following:

  • The exact positioning of the wedding pavilion, and whatever tents, tables and bars that might be required for your subsequent reception party.
  • All your flower arrangements and bouquets, and also your decorative requirements with their exact positioning should you wish us to provide and arrange these on your behalf
  • Your snack, canapé and/or full meal menus
  • The colours of the table cloths and napkins you would prefer.
  • Your choice of cutlery, crockery and glassware
  • All the drinks you wish to be provided at your bar outlets.
  • The music of your choice whether it be a discotheque or a live band, and also the possible use of our public address system which you might require for the head table depending on the number of your guests.
  • The decoration of any guest rooms you might require.

And while some people get married in some unusual places these days, we also have a floating pavilion which can be placed anywhere of your choice along our lakeshore frontage – or even at the end of the jetty – and which can be fully decorated with flowers or whatever else you prefer in order to perfect the setting.

golf 

The Rift Valley golf course is a lovely course and only 20 minutes’ drive from the house.  You will need to pay fees at the pro shop, and then you can enjoy a round of golf with the zebras and wonderful views! 

Please see www.heritage-eastafrica.com for more info. 

wildlife

Ajabu house and its environs are part of the Loldia Conservation area for which conservation fees are charged.  These are split between the different parts of the ‘Hopcraft’ families that make up the conservancy, which carries over 4000 head of wildlife including leopard, aardvark, buffalo, eland, bat eared foxes, hyenas, impalas, zebras and hippos.  The garden has regular visitors including Vervet monkeys and Rock hyenas.  Please do NOT feed them! 

local attractions

Some of the most spectacular walks and tours are right on your door step when staying at Ajabu House.  Guests can visit Hells Gate National Park, the green Crater Lake reserve,  Lake Nakuru National Park,  Lake Elementaita, Soysambu Ranch or maybe climb Mount Longonot or Mount Eburru.

other activities 

There is a tennis court on site (it is made with very loamy and light Naivasha soil mixed with Murram and molasses which means it is not perfect) which kids, friends and families can use to have fun hitting the ball around.  You can also enjoy our beautiful gardens and birdwatch from the outdoor verandah.  The bird life in the area is exceptional.
