I have no idea how many 5-star hotels you had in the area in 2004...doesn't really matter since I was on a camping trip. Some people like to play the R-card a bit quickly I feel.

Hi Brian, you are such a racist, there are nicer photos about Naivasha you would have posted in the web, How many five star hotel due we have around Naivasha, Shame on you racist man?

Hi Judy,
I was a pupil at the school from 1959-1963. We lived up the Wanjoi Valley at a farm owned by someone back in the uk. I remember the name as Katn'daruma but not really sure. I think the Matron was called Atkinson and she had at least one daughter at the school.I dont think I was that naughty but remember getting the takki most nights for messing about. All in all a great time had by all but rose tinted specs no doubt. Living in the uk now but went back about 10 years ago and amazed to find it still running as a girls school with a lot more pupils now! Drop me a line if youlike and perhaps some memories will surface.Regards. John Robertson

Dear Brian,
Came across your photos by chance. I was born and grew up in Kenya. We lived in Naivasha on Marula and Manera Farms. My dad had a garage, Battistuzzi Naivasha Garage. Your photos are beautiful and brought back so many memories. I long to see Kenya again. Thanks!

Thank you for your wonderful pictures. We are actually moving to Naivasha as soon as possible, (probably 1 year out) so really enjoyed your sharing these! We will be living off the North Moi Road.

I used to live in Kenya and I will never forget the day I first saw the Rift Valley.
Driving along what seemed like a regular road and then to be confronted by that vastness.
I had been searching the net for pictures to try and recapture that moment.

Whilst pictures can nevery really capture the feelings that such a sight can inspire, your pictures have certainly evoked alot of memories.

My uncle had a house on Lake Navaisha itself and we used to go fishing whenever we paid them a visit.

Did you ever have a chance to see Hell's Gate?

Hi

I now reside in Canada, but visited Naivasha (as a member of the Royal Air Force) many many times during 1956 and 57.

I was dusturbed to see how the Rift Valley has changed on a TV show recently.

My visits to Naivasha were to stay with a farmer Gordon Reid who farmed Pyrethum, (sp)
called Orengani Farm. He had a DKW vehicle and was one of the kundest men I ever met.

Fond memories of purchasing wood carvings in the town. Bet the place has changed.

What a wonderful memory. Loved your pictures.

Good luck with the site.

Peter
