Excursions
A resident ornithologist leads bird walks before breakfast and in the evening. You can buy a checklist of the birds of Lake Baringo identify the trees with a print guide and read a daily log of species seen in the grounds which often extends to four pages.

Whatever you do at Baringo don't miss the bird boat trip. From our motorized dugout, complete with sunshade you a have a marvelous view of the Laikipia escarpment and the Tugen hills.

You might meet a solo Njemps fisherman balanced on the precarious looking one man raft made of Ambatch, similar to balsa wood. Your boat man might borrow a fish and then whistle up a fish eagle from the top of a distance tree. The take off, the approach, the turn, the swoop and the grab that follows will be a memory of a life time.

Trips to Lake Bogoria can also be organised on request. Lake Bogoria is one hour drive from Lake Baringo Club. The lake is in the heart of an arid landscape, in the shadow of the dramatic walls of the Siracho Range. The soda waters of the lake attract massive flocks of Flamingo, and the lake is often carpeted with pink. The 32 sq km lake is still volcanically active, and the Western shore is lined with spouting geysers, spurting steam and bubbling geothermal pools. Fresh water springs at the lake edge attract an abundance of birds and wildlife. There are many Fish Eagles, which often prey on the local flamingos. The shores are always lined with Gazelle, Zebra, Baboons and this is one of the best places to see Greater Kudu.

If nothing else, enjoy scenic horse riding at the club grounds.
