Colobus Affe
Elsamere is a haven for lovers of nature, set in an Acacia forest on the banks of Lake Naivasha, in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. It is the former home of the late Joy Adamson who, together with her husband George, became world famous for their pioneering conservation work and relationship with the lioness Elsa, as told in her best selling book and subsequent film, “BORN FREE”.
The Adamsons devoted their lives to wildlife conservation and Elsamere continues to be maintained as a functioning conservation centre. By staying at Elsamere you have the unique opportunity to visit an active base for local conservation projects and a chance to experience life in one of Kenya's most historic homes. Accommodation for 15 – 18 guests is provided in cottages set in beautiful gardens around the main house.
Facilities include: The museum which contains a small collection of Joy's paintings and artifacts. Memorabilia from the film Born Free and a range of photos documenting Joy and George's work with wildlife are also on display. The Elsa Trust shop which stocks a variety of T-shirts, jewellery, books, earrings and prints of Joy's works are also for sale.
