Views

The private balconies offer beautiful views of the Rift Valley, Lake Burunge and the park itself.

Since the property is on a hillside, it offers vast, panoramic views from the deck in the dining room as well.

The view of sunrise from the porch is quite beautiful while the night sky tells its own beautiful fables. You can sometimes hear wild animals after dark.

Surrounding wilderness level

Moderate - This side of the park has more bushes and thickets so you do not find as much wildlife as compared to the other side near the main gate, but you might still see lions, cheetahs, elephants, gazelles and different species of birds. From the camp, you can take a guided tour early in the morning towards the top of the hill which is just 8 minutes away and see different animals in the park below. You might also hear hyenas howling and lions roaring in the night.

Activities

Watch out for

The tents are spaced, starting from the lower side which is near the main lodge, going up to the upper side of the hill. For some people, especially those who are aged or have lesser stamina, it may be a bit exhausting to climb if you don’t get a tent down below.
If you plan on entering through the main gate, it will take at least an hour to reach the lodge, and even more time to reach the center of the park which is rich in the different species of wildlife. But if you decide to enter the new Sangaiwe gate, it just takes 5 minutes to unload yourself at the property.
The camp is solar powered. So you can expect it to be dark at night.
Only the main lodge has a good Wi-Fi signal.
