Island Camp

Top choice in Southern Rift Valley


Stylish but relaxed, this gorgeous tented camp covers the tip of an island in the middle of Lake Baringo. The lovely tents are a mixture of thatch and canvas, while the superior rooms have private plunge pools and Kenyan art. There's an atmospheric bar, community initiatives, wild gardens made for birdwatching, and a spa tent. Day visitors are welcomed for lunch.

Staff can arrange activities including bird walks, excursions to the hot springs and sundowners atop a nearby island.
