Lord Francis Scott, a famous early settler, erected Deloraine House in the 1920s. Deloraine has to be one of the greatest specimens of colonial architecture in the nation, and it is a one-of-a-kind hosting property that contains half of Kenya’s history. The farm is situated on the lower slopes of Londiani Mountain, an extinct volcano surrounded by woodland and bamboo on the western fringe of the Great Rift Valley. The Voorspuy family, famous for its Offbeat Riding Safaris, runs the residence. Deloraine is their residence and the starting point for their safaris.
The lovely main home includes a huge dining room, drawing room, hall, and veranda. There are three big double rooms with private bathrooms and two more rooms for families with communal baths. The cottage next to the home has three double rooms, each with its own bathroom. All meals are served in the dining room, on the terrace, or by the pool, and visitors are welcomed into the family environment.
This is an equestrian’s paradise, with over 60 horses located in Deloraine, mountain riding, cross country jumping, and a full size polo pitch.
