He shot under par 71 in the closing round, for a grand total of five under par 283, beating Thika Sports Club's Simon Ngige by three shots.
Greg Snow's victory was his second in the Magical Kenya and Absa Group sponsored series, having won the first leg at Nyali Golf and Country Club Mombasa last year.
