Lake Baringo Country Club is a neat, compact hotel on the Lake Shore. Set amidst lush green lawns and bougainvillea gardens with abundant bird life. Its intimate, cozy nature makes the Club ideal for a ‘get away from it all’ conference or weekend out of Nairobi. There are two hot springs in the area. One on a nearby island makes a memorable safari – it is a two hour trip, leaving plenty of time to see the wildlife enroute.Day trips can also be organized to see the springs at Lake Bogoria.
Lake Baringo has its own special atmosphere of peace and calm where hippos graze at night on the lawns. Over 460 species of birds have been recorded so it’s no surprise that Lake Baringo is a Mecca for bird watchers and a highlight of the Ornithology circuit of East Africa. A resident Ornithologist leads bird walks before breakfast and in the evening. You can buy a checklist of the Birds of Lake Baringo, identify the trees with a printed guide and read a daily log of species seen in the grounds.
