A story rooted in Kenya’s history
The Name Nderit derives from Richard Britten-Long’s family estate in the Rift Valley. Meaning ‘sweet water’ in Masai, the Nderit river flowed through their homeland, which is now known as The Lake Nakuru National Park. The land was originally acquired by his grandfather Boy Long, an expert cattleman, after he arrived in Kenya with Lord Delamare in the 1920’s to run his ranch.
Subsequently Richards' parents Robin and Liza Long took on the farm and this is where he
and his brother grew up. Robin and Liza, later acquired a plot in Kilifi and set about building Nderit House overlooking the mouth of Kilifi Creek. They wanted to build an escape by the sea, away from the pillars of dust at Naivasha and Nakuru, where they could have a base for their love of deep sea fishing. Nderit has welcomed family, friends, and travellers seeking an escape into the untouched beauty of Kenya’s coastline ever since.
