Lake Baringo is at the threshold of Northern Kenya, and its freshwaters are an oasis in the arid plains.
This is the traditional home of the Njemps tribe, a unique people who are the only pastoral, cattle herding tribe who also fish.
The 129 km² lake is well stocked with fish, and attracts many pelicans, cormorants and fish eagles.
The Lake is also well populated with crocodiles and hippos.
The lake itself is truly beautiful, surrounded by volcanic ranges that stretch as far as the eye can see.
In the middle of the lake is Ol Kokwe Island, a stark rocky island with a well appointed camp. This is an excellent base for exploring the lake, with boat trips ideal for bird and hippo spotting.
Baringo is an ideal stopover on a safari to Northern Kenya
