Full review
Lake Baringo is the second most northern lake of the Great Rift Valley after Lake Turkana. The Lake is home to more than 470 bird species and temperatures are constantly high all year around.

There is a variety of places to stay on or around the lake. A personal favourite of mine was Island Camp. There was a 20 minute boat trip to the island when you were certain to see Hippo and Crocodile on the banks or in the water beside the boat.

Accommodation on the isand is superb, with guests staying in luxury, ensuite tents, with spectacular views of the lake and a surrounding mountainous landscape.

The cuisine on the Island was second to none, with a superb variety of traditional dishes, game, seafood and homemade specials.

During the day, there is so much to do. You can walk the Island and discover the many species of birds on the Island (you are bound to see the African Fish Eagle, that is regularly spotted), take in the many views, take a boat ride to see the hippos and crocodiles closer up and watch the fish eagles hunt right next to your boat. There is also the option of watersports for the more active guest with water skiing, windsurfing and canoeing availabe in safe and secure waters around the Island.

Or if you would prefer, one can choose to relax and make use of the heated swimming pool, whilst enjoying the views.

I would recommend a trip to Lake Baringo to anyone of any age! Its a must see!
