The lodge has six individually designed thatched rooms with attached bathrooms that are furnished in a comfortable yet unpretentious style.  Every room has beautiful vistas over Lake Baringo and the Great Rift Valley.  Some of the rooms have their own private open-air baths or showers that are sensitively designed in harmony with the trees or rocks surrounding the room, with views out onto the staggering landscapes.

Your days spent enjoying the legendary beauty of Lake Baringo - its spectacular sunsets, dazzling birdlife and Njemps fishermen continuing with their little changed lifestyle - can be as active or relaxed as you like.  Relax in the infinity pool or take a boat ride and cruise around rugged islands dotted with acacia and fig trees, host to a multitude of birds, crocodiles, monitor lizards and hippos. Encounter close sightings of the majestic fish eagles swooping down to catch fish thrown by the boat driver.  Visit the wildlife conservancy on Longichorro Island; spend the early morning or late afternoons on escorted bird and scenic walks with a picnic breakfast or sundowners on a nearby beach.  Other activities include fishing, canoeing, jogging and mountain biking.

Trips into the Ruko conservancy, Lake Bogoria (or Lake Nakuru for those guests staying 4+ nights) will bring a variety of other mammals & predators including greater kudu, zebra, warthogs and plains game.

Baringo is a world-class birding area.  There are over 450 species and close encounters with thousands of flamingos can be experienced with a trip to nearby Lake Bogoria. From October until May many migrant species from Europe can be seen.  Massage & beauty treatments are available, as are scenic flights and helicopter charters by advance request.

Samatian Island Lodge: Cottage

Cottage

Accommodation is in five open-plan thatched cottages sleeping up to a total of 12 guests. Each room has a superb view of the lake and all bedrooms have adjacent bathrooms, each with its own unique style, and usually a view too. The family chalet has a double and a twin bedroom as well as an open air deck upstairs for star-gazing and enjoying the breathtaking 360-degree view. These open rooms provide welcome breezes while mosquito nets provide protection at night. In the rare event of a storm, waterproof blinds are let down to shut out the rain. The dining and homely living areas are situated next to the large infinity pool, offering panoramic views of the lake with its backdrop of rugged hills of Kenya’s arid Northern Frontier District.
