We want you to be comfortable, and to also take advantage of the gorgeous landscape and environment where we’ll be. As much as possible we’ll use outdoor spaces, so you’ll want a hat, sunglasses, and water bottle (we’ll have drinking water on tap). The rooms, dining facilities, and meeting areas are spread out, so you’ll want shoes you’re comfortable walking in.

The weather in Naivasha tends to be mild this time of year, with temperatures ranging from highs of 23/24 to lows of 10. Bring layers! Please also come prepared for rainy conditions.

• There are walking and running trails, so bring your athletic attire if you’re keen.

• We will have morning yoga opportunities for those interested. If you have a yoga mat that is easy to travel with, please bring it along!

• The lodge has a pool for swimmers.
