Parks & reserves: Lake Baringo
Lodging
Lake Baringo Club:
The main advantage of bird watching is that sometimes the lodge itself is a place of privilege, and this happens at the gardens of Lake Baringo Club, now belonging to Sun Africa Hotels. At the lake shore, a signpost warns that wild animals are dangerous. Obviously it is not for the birds, but for the hippos, which also graze at the Club's gardens after dusk. The lodge, with swimming pool, restaurant and bar, is a luxurious and tranquil place with activities targeted to meet the local bird life: bird walks, film shows and audiovisuals.
Island Camp:
Island Camp is the other only lodging option at the lake. More expensive than Lake Baringo Club, this luxury tented camp with 25 double tents is located in Ol Kokwe Island, right at the center of the lake. In addition to the usual facilities of swimming pool, restaurant and bar, the place offers wildlife and sports activities like waterskiing and wind-surfing.
Other accommodations:
There are some cheap and modest hotels at Kampi ya Samaki, the small town bordering the lake. These include Papyrus Annex, Hippo Lodge, Bahari Lodge, Ushirika Lodge and Lake View Lodge.
