Roberts Camp

Top choice in Southern Rift Valley


A legend in its own right, this atmospheric camp sits right on the lakeshore, wherever that shore may be...The bandas are nicely decorated, with eco loos, and there's ample space for camping, plus the Thirsty Goat bar-restaurant. The helpful staff can organise boat rides and scorpion- or bird-spotting nature walks. After dark, keep your eyes peeled for hippos, fireflies and the ghosts of old adventurers.

Sadly part of the camp was destroyed by high water levels in 2014; at the time of research renovation work was planned.
