The first thing you find in your room is a newsletter with details of what's nesting where in the hotel grounds. The habits, lives and domestic squabbles of the residents in the trees are discussed in detail. Over 460 species have been recorded here so it's no surprise that Lake Baringo is a Mecca for bird watchers and a highlight of the ornithology circuit of East Africa.

Lake Baringo Club is a neat, compact hotel on the lakeshore. The architecture has a Spanish air about it and the garden and grounds are unmistakably African, but laid out with English flair. There is a very welcoming atmosphere, the staff are friendly and the food is excellent. Rooms are cool and comfortable with a central overhead fan, mosquito nets around the beds and a decent shower. Its intimate, cosy nature makes Lake Baringo Club ideal for a get away from Nairobi and it's only a three-hour drive from the capital on tarmac. Children seem to like Lake Baringo Club, probably because they are made to feel so welcome. There's a game room and cartoon videos, a lovely swimming pool with sun beds and shade and a special children's menu for dinner.

Mornings, and evening bird walks are always accompanied by the resident ornithologists, giving visitors the opportunity to see several magnificent birds of prey, noisy restless bush birds, and the numerous other species frequenting the shore. There are plenty of small-motorized boats available for hire, all captained by knowledgeable bird enthusiasts. There are also bush barbecues held at the Makalia Falls.
