...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.

Having lived in Kenya, I had the chance to visit so many different game parks, however Nakuru has always been a firm favourite of mine.
The park is set around Lake Nakuru, and so provides the perfect setting for any visitor to enjoy their game drive. The Park is very easy to drive around, so driving yourself is not a problem. The Lake is famous for its huge attraction of flamingoes (sometimes seen in their millions) throughout the year, which adds to the beauty of the landscape.
During your drive you are likely to see an extensive variety of animals and bird life. The park is home to 4 of the big 5 with the park being too small to hold elephant...

I love reading, but in the last few months I've found it hard to find the time or the energy to read anything other than a newspaper or magazine. Then whilst reading the "Metro" on the way to work last month I spotted a review on this book by debut... more
What can I say - the hype around Victoria Stilwell since the introduction of Me or the Dog is well and truly justified. The woman knows what she's on about and this book strips away the ridiculous outfits and stupid phrases from Channel 4 and gives you... more
