The camp’s scenic setting, often surrounded by misty, atmospheric skies, especially in the early mornings or late afternoons, gives it a unique and adventurous aura, ergo its nearness to Nairobi gives it a great logistical advantage.

It is a perfect place for camping, stargazing, and birdwatching to boot. From this base, guests can enjoy various activities such as boat rides on Lake Naivasha, nature walks, and visiting nearby attractions like the Crescent Island Game Sanctuary.
