All cottages are simply designed and are comfortably and tastefully furnished and are all private and completely separate.

The sunken bar and spacious lounge has an open fireplace, a pool table, darts board, and looks out at eye level over a mown lawn area onto a small water waterhole. The bush restaurant serves a choice of freshly prepared meals as well as game meat in a separate thatched dinning room. Activities on offer include nature walks, bike rides, hiking, day and night game drives, bush dinners, and sundowners.

Kigio Porini Camp
Kigio Porini Camp is approximately a 45-minute drive from the Nakuru National Park, famous for its flamingos. Kigio Porini Camp has been set up in the exclusive Kigio Conservancy, a short drive from Nairobi and set in the Great Rift Valley, between lakes Naivasha and Nakuru.

The conservancy, a beautiful mix of Acacias and leleshwa shrub-land is home to White Rhino and the endangered Rothschild Giraffe, among numerous other animals. The expansive private conservancy area offers the opportunity to walk safely amongst wildlife.

Learn how to identify animal spoor, and about the traditional use by the local people of medicinal properties of the many plant species in the conservancy. In addition to plains game like zebra, giraffe and antelopes, birdlife abounds and a walk along the river gives the opportunity to see hippo and maybe even a python!

Facilities and activities included for all guests: Spacious Safari tents, all with private verandahs, a double and single bed, solar electric lights, en suite bathrooms with flush toilet and showers. All meals and picnic lunches, free mineral water, sodas, gin, beer and house wine.

Lake Baringo Club
On the shores of Lake Baringo, 285 kms northwest of Nairobi, Lake Baringo Club nestles amongst palm trees, green lawns and the clashing pinks, purples, reds and oranges of bougainvillea obviously thriving in the hot steamy days that characterise so many of the Great Rift Valley's lakes.There is never a dull moment at the Club. Morning and evening bird walks, always accompanied by our resident ornithologist, give visitors the opportunity to see several magnificent birds of prey, noisy, restless 'bush' birds and the numerous species frequenting the shore.There are plenty of small motorised boats for hire, all captained by knowledgeable bird enthusiasts.
And there is so much to see on the Lake - hippo and crocodile at close quarters, a bejewelled assortment of kingfishers, local fisherman sorting the day's catch, and of course the scenic beauty of a Rift Valley Lake. Our daily visit to a local tribe's manyatta (village) is always popular with guests.
