The family-owned, 450-acre farm is a haven of Acacia forest and lush pastures, nestled on the southern shores of Lake Naivasha. Beyond its commercial activities as a pasture-driven dairy farm and horse stud, Sanctuary Farm is deeply committed to the conservation of the lake's surrounding flora and fauna. Lake Naivasha, designated as a RAMSAR site in 1995, supports a complex ecosystem of terrestrial, riparian, and littoral plants, which are crucial for the foraging and breeding of numerous resident and migratory birds. With over 350 species of water birds and an array of wildlife including hippopotamus, Cape Buffalo, Maasai Giraffe, and more, Sanctuary Farm is a true paradise for nature enthusiasts.
