About this place
The Cliff sits 100 metres above Lake Nakuru on a volcanic rock face inside Lake Nakuru National Park. Ten luxury tented suites line the cliff edge, each with 180 degree views across the Great Rift Valley and the lake below. The feel is intimate, with the comfort and considered design of a boutique hotel inside a traditional canvas structure.
Lake Nakuru National Park is one of Kenya's most diverse wildlife destinations and was the country's first national park listed as both an Important Bird Area and an Endemic Bird Area, with over 400 species recorded. Black and white rhino, lion, leopard, colobus monkey in the acacia and fever tree forest, and an endangered translocated population of Rothschild's giraffe all live here.
The park can be explored on land by game drive or from the water on a boat safari, which takes guests across the lake to watch and photograph birdlife up close. Suites come in king or twin configurations with en-suite bathrooms and bathtubs, a tea and coffee station, a lounge and dressing area and a private viewing deck. The camp is solar powered and plastic free, with a helipad, swimming pool, gym, spa, gift shop and wifi.
