Hidden under a blanket of tropical flowers, this beautiful house is like something from a fairytale, where petals dust the beds and floors, zebras and vervet monkeys hang out with pet dogs, and the rooms are a delight. Perhaps best of all, the camp is owned by renowned elephant conservationists Iain and Oria Douglas-Hamilton – if they’re at home, there are few more fascinating hosts in Kenya.
The location, on the lake's north side, is wonderfully secluded and a perfect hideaway for a couple of days.
