Lake Jipe Eco Lodge: Simple, Rough and Ready

Away from modern life, the 10-rondavel Lake Jipe Eco Lodge, fronting the east shore of Lake Jipe lying 500 ms away, is a simple rough and ready yet serene hideout. Its 10 bandas are modestly furnished, each with a private veranda and bathroom [with hot and cold shower] and a flush toilet. There is a restaurant, a stocked bar and pool, too. A campsite is located closer to the littoral. The lake, primarily fed by Lumi River with its headwaters at Mount Kilimanjaro, shrinking by a few km2 during the dry season, supports numerous endemic fish species and varied water birds that are fascinating for the fisherman and ornithologist. A good way to explore Lake Jipe is on a tour aboard the KWS fibre glass boats. There is also a popular raised and covered observation post overlooking Tsavo West.

Camping is much more than a pleasant holiday, it’s a great way to truly enjoy Kenya. An inexpensive and indulging do-it-yourself holiday. In the warm Kenyan sun, camping is a way of life the intrepid spiritedly remembers. It is a memorable outdoor activity to carry out whether you are single, as a couple, or as a family.
