r2g Sports & Recreation Centre

There are three two-bed rooms and four four-bed rooms available to our guests. Named after the four great tribes of Kenya, all rooms are furnished authentically, according to the local culture of each tribe. The whole furnishment has been manufactured by local craftsmen and significantly makes for the feel-good atmosphere of the rooms. In addition one can see both the volcano Mt. Longonot and Lake Naivasha from each of the rooms. Guests are also welcome to enjoy a covered terrace.

The shower and toilet facilities are only a few metres away from the rooms. There are European toilets, environment friendly, waterless urinals, washbasins and warm water showers. The water for the showers has to be heated by a special oven every morning.

In the communal space, which means the dining room, the terrace, the kitchen and reception, one can meet the Kenyan athletes of the run2gether team, who are accommodated next to the guest rooms. This proximity between residents not only creates a togetherness and promotes acquaintances and friendships but also provides a sense of absolute security while in the Sports & Recreaction Centre.

The Kenyan runners’ secret to their success is the food they eat. Far away from food supplements and additives our food consists solely of fresh products from the region. Whether its a matter of vegetables, pataoes, sweet patatoes or similar tubers such as kassavas or arrowroots, all is being grown and delivered several times a week by farmers in the area. The eggs are either from our own chickens or delivered by farmers in Kiambogo, who, on a daily basis also supply us with fresh milk. On one or two days per week we are supplied with meat, that has to be pre-ordered and has been slaughtered on the same day. On top of that, there are a lot of fresh fruits such as bananas, mangos, pine apples and melons.

Not only do our guests at the sports centre live door to door with the athletes, they also eat their meals together. Although our guest occasionally get one or two more pieces of fruit, their food rations are quite identical to those of the athletes, so there is no disharmony. If intesested our guests are welcome to watch how the food is prepared or to help out in the kitchen.
