Industry clusters worth visiting

3

Sector hubs your delegates can map a site visit, guest speaker, or post-class field study against.

01

Floriculture and horticulture

  • Oserian Development Company
  • Van den Berg Roses
  • Karen Roses

Naivasha is a major floriculture base, so delegates may meet growers, packhouses, and cold-chain operators.

02

Geothermal energy

  • Olkaria Geothermal Power Station
  • Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen)

The Olkaria geothermal complex near Naivasha makes the area relevant for energy, utilities, and infrastructure briefings.

03

Tourism, lodges, and conferencing

  • Elsamere Conservation Centre
  • Lake Naivasha Country Club
  • Sopa Lodge Naivasha

Training groups often use Naivasha for retreats, workshops, and post-session excursions tied to lake tourism.

Training venue

Expect a practical conference market: lake-view resorts, safari-style lodges, and mid-scale hotels that routinely host workshops and retreats. Purpose-built convention centers are limited, so large trainings often rely on resort meeting rooms and good AV setup rather than city-center hotels.

Getting there

Naivasha is reached by road from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi, then onward via the Nairobi–Nakuru highway; transfers are typically by private car, hotel shuttle, or coach. For delegates arriving by air, Nairobi is the practical gateway, with final road transfer time depending on traffic and exact property location.

Visa

Kenya uses an online Electronic Travel Authorization system for most visitors, including many non-African passport holders; submit before travel and confirm eligibility on official government channels. Travelers from visa-exempt regional arrangements may still need to meet entry and onward-travel requirements.

Safety

Use arranged transport after dark, keep valuables secured at lodges and during lake excursions, and follow ranger guidance in wildlife areas. For outdoor sessions, carry water, sun protection, and a light layer for cool mornings and evenings.

Weather year-round

  • Apr 24/14°C Main long-rains period; wetter and cooler.
  • Jan 27/12°C Warm and relatively dry.
  • Jul 23/11°C Coolest part of the year, with lighter rainfall.
  • Oct 25/13°C Short-rains shoulder month with moderate temperatures.
