Ten spacious tented suites perched at the top of a 100-metre rock face, each with a freestanding bath positioned for the view and an uninterrupted near-180-degree panorama of the lake and its flamingos.
The most striking address at Lake Nakuru, The Cliff fuses the intimacy of a tented camp with the polish of a boutique hotel. Its dramatically sited suites look straight out over the soda lake and the rhino country below, while game drives in open vehicles seek out four of the Big Five. A standout choice for travellers wanting genuine luxury in the Rift Valley.
