Lake Baringo Club

 

Lake Baringo Club, located on the shores of its namesake, is nestled among palm trees, green lawns and the clashing pinks, purples, reds and oranges of bougainvillea thriving in the hot steamy days that characterize so many of the Great Rift Valley's lakes. Mirroring the surrounding Tugen Hills and Laikipia Escarpment, the lake owes its chocolate color to the rivers that feed it - all carrying plenty of top soil. Hippo and crocodile share this watery residence with tilapia, mud fish, bass cat fish and an enormous variety of birds. The Club accommodates guests in 47 rooms, each offering cool and comfortable lodging with a central overhead fan, mosquito nets and en-suite facilities. Additionally, each room has a newsletter with details of what's nesting where in the hotel grounds.
