fish eagle Elsamere, the home of Joy and George Adamson (pictured above), is situated on the southern shore of Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Rift Valley. It was here that Joy nurtured some of her orphaned big cats. The area is still a haven for wildlife, with its own small troop of black and white colobus monkeys living and playing in the Acacia trees. Fish Eagles call from the lake shore and hippos, eland and zebra graze on the lawns at night. In addition the Centre is a bird lovers paradise with more than 260 species of bird
including rare species such as the Verreaux's Giant Eagle Owl.
The Adamson's devoted their lives to wildlife conservation and Elsamere carries on their work. Many of Joy's paintings adorn the walls of the main house and the small museum displays a range of interesting memorabilia. The Landrover in which George was shot as he drove from his camp in Kora National Park to rescue a guest who had been captured by Somali bandits, is on view in the garden. Inside The Museum
Inside The Cottage Visitors to Elsamere are accommodated in four cottages, all having verandas with a lake view and ensuite facilities. Day visitors are also welcome and can browse the museum & shop as well as enjoying an el fresco lunch and what many regard as the best afternoon tea in the whole of Kenya.

Elsamere has its own boats for bird watching trips and visiting nearby Crescent Island. Day visits can be made to Hell's Gate National Park, the Geothermal Power Station, the volcanic Crater Lake and to see the stunning flocks of flamingo in Lake Nakuru National Park.

If you book one of the ‘special holiday offers’ your stay will include collection from and return to Nairobi.
