Marsabit Lodge

Northern Kenya


If you don't mind the rather faded rooms, this basic lodge has a deliciously peaceful setting overlooking the lake known as Gof Sokorte Dika. Expect friendly service and a chef who, no doubt in pleasure at actually having something to do, puts together great meals. Electricity is by generator in the evening only.

Located close to the main gate, you can use the lodge as a base if you also want to explore Marsabit. It's the ideal place for sundowners, as you can watch the buffaloes that frequent the lake.
