Q. Please tell us a little bit about the Vipingo Ridge project.

A. Much more than premium golf, Vipingo Ridge is a destination for everyone who enjoys the best life has to offer. Set in 2,500 acres on Kenya’s North Coast, Vipingo Ridge brings a range of elements of luxury living together in a peaceful and secure gated community. It has the following features:

• Two x 18 hole Championship Golf Courses
Both two ‘par 72’ championship golf courses will offer challenging and exciting golf for players at all levels. State of the art practice and coaching facilities will also include a 300 meter driving range.

• Range of Properties
Giving the buyer freedom to build the property that suits you best, there are a range of property options from which you can choose at Vipingo Ridge. Luxury Golf Villas are available on an off-plan basis.

• Outstanding Clubhouse
The stunning clubhouse will be finished to 5 star standards. Spacious locker rooms, pro shop, bag storage, spike bar and a restaurant designed to make the most of the all round panoramic views. The clubhouse will have a family friendly pool and other leisure facilities such as bowling green, tennis and squash courts.

• Block Paved Roads Throughout
The roads throughout the development will be block paved which offer a smooth, durable surface.

• Private Airstrip
The 1.5km long airstrip ensures even greater flexibility and accessibility placing all destinations and game parks within easy reach for Vipingo Ridge visitors and residents.

• Game Sanctuary
A care and breeding centre for small game will be established within Vipingo Ridge. The wild game, such as antelope, zebra and various other herbivores will be allowed to roam freely around the development.

• Private Beach Club
A stunning unspoilt white sandy beach is only 3km from Vipingo Ridge. The exclusive Beach club will offer all residents a tranquil environment in which to enjoy diving, snorkeling and watersports.

• Nature Trails
Throughout Vipingo Ridge there is horse riding, walking, cycling and jogging trails – a serene way to enjoy the fabulous scenery and environment.

• Total Security
While Vipingo Ridge sits in a peaceful environment, the 24 hour top level security service and the 3 meter high perimeter wall will give total peace of mind and ensure that security is always maintained.
