Owned and run by the family that started Saiwa, this beautiful old farmhouse is 11km from the swamp. You can choose between camping in the grounds, sleeping in a well-appointed safari tent or, best of all, opting for one of the two bedrooms full of National Geographic magazines, old ornaments and antique sinks.
The mother and son who run it will entertain you for hours with stories from their more than 70 years in Kenya. Traditional English meat-and-two-veg-style meals are available (dinner KSh1800) and they can organise superb excursions, including ornithological tours of the Cherangani Hills and Saiwa Swamp.
It's 5km north of the park turn-off road on the Kitale–Lodwar road.
