The drive to the resort passes through the Great Rift Valley and guests can experience stopovers at the Equator point. The resort, itself, is close to the Hippo Pools and Lake Ol’ Bolossat, which is home to more than 185 species of birds and animals. Guess can book nature walks, hiking, rhino safaris, and more.

The resort features cottage-style rooms that offer a comfortable homey feeling with stone fireplaces and flatscreen TVs. Three dining options are available onsite, including the Brown Olive Restaurant, the Silky Oak Bar, and a poolside eatery. Additional amenities include a steam room and sauna, a solar-heated indoor pool, a fitness center, daily yoga, and a salon and space facilities.
