Giant boulders frame the shoreline as the camp comes into view with its lush lawns, multicoloured flower beds and rock gardens. The architecture is based on the Luo tribal style, with banana thatch and natural clay. Rooms are spacious and bright offering dazzling lake views dotted with dhows sailing by. The expertly prepared food is delectably fresh with fish sourced from the lake and produce from the island’s permaculture gardens and orchards. Laze on a sunbed on your private veranda or at the lakeshore’s ‘horizon’ pool when not partaking in activities such as dhow sailing, Nile perch fishing, birdwatching, cultural walks and the Ancient Rock Art Tour.
