They are a symbol of the power and prestige of the Kenyan government and are located in scenic and secluded areas.
Equipped with state-of-the-art security features, State lodges offer a variety of amenities, including swimming pools, tennis courts, and golf courses.
Besides Kisii, the others are in Eldoret, Kisumu and Kakamega, with the Sagana one being the most used.
Initially, Sagana was a royal residence of the British monarchy, considered among the gifts that Kenya had bestowed the late Queen Elizabeth following her wedding to Prince Philip.
However, when Kenya gained independence in December 1963, the late Queen handed the lodge back to the Kenyan government.
Sagana has had a rich history with Kenya’s last three Presidents.
