Tumbili Cliff Lodge: picture gallery


Tumbili Cliff Lodge has peaceful views across Lake Baringo.
This whole area is renowned for its bird life (Von der Decken's hornbill)…
…and has become a magnet for birders…
…who can expect to see dozens of species while staying here.
The lodge is located in the dry thorn country that typifies this part of the Rift Valley…
…and it nestles among the trees on a low cliff above the lake.
The central areas are simple and unfussy…
…and the large, well-maintained pool is a welcome respite…
…from the afternoon heat.
After dark, an unusual activity is the lodge's astronomical telescope…
…which takes advantage of the very low light pollution in this region.
Meals can be taken in several areas around the lodge…
…including on the cliff top.
The guest rooms are simple…
…and are open to the grounds and lake on the other side.
The double beds are round, and set on solid plinths…
…and high ceilings make for a spacious feel.
Furnishings are practical…
…and include floor fans…
…and UK-style plugs.
The triple rooms have an extra bed.
Bathroom arrangements consist of a wash basin…
…and flush toilet inside…
…with toiletries provided…
…in the shape of glass flasks.
While outside, there's a private, open-air shower and bathtub.
