The camp is located on the island of Ol Kokwe in Lake Baringo, one of the two fresh water lakes in the Rift Valley and one of Kenya’s premier places for bird watching. It is a luxury tented camp built on a hill offering a spectacular view of the lake. 208km north of Nairobi, in the Rift Valley, is where the camp is located. It takes 3 ½ – 4 hours by road from Nairobi or 1 ¼ hours by air. The airstrip is 5 minutes drive away to the camp.
