Crater Lake Camp
Situated on the North Lake Road, South of Naivasha, Crater Lake Camp is a permanent tented camp sleeping 25 guests in luxurious tents with attached bathrooms. Situated on the shores of a green soda lake, at the bottom of an old extinct volcano! Whether for the algae rich waters, the passing livestock, the lush vegetation, or the ever-present peace, Crater Lake and its environs enjoy one of the richest verities of bird life in the whole of Africa. Lake Naivasha is renowned among ornithologists worldwide for its great diversity of avian residents - some 350 species around the lake and over 400 in its 3,000 square-kilometer catchment area. Although Crater Lake's bird list is not so extensive, it does have the distinction of harboring some of the rarest birds on the continent. The Grey Crested Helmet Shrike, listed as 'endangered', is resident and breeds near the waterhole in the game sanctuary. As well as large numbers of plains game - giraffe, zebra, impala, gazelles the sanctuary has at one time or the other been home to cheetah, leopard, hyena, buffalo, hippo and a huge variety of other creatures great and small.
The crater offers unique and safe walks around the lake where one often comes face to face with big shaggy bushbuck and waterbuck, hyenas, or Colobus and vervet monkeys. The Honeymoon "cloud" tent is the most romantic wedding escape, that offers private dinners with personal chef and for lovers a heavenly whirlpool bath. Please use this form to contact us!
