Soi Safari Lodge Activities

Soi Safari Lodge has many attractions to occupy your day while at the Lodge, including field excursions and boat rides to the geysers and hot springs. The local tour guides educate you about the beautiful landscape. The boat rides also take you to the seven islands on the lake, which are inhabited by the Njemps.

It is said they are descendants of the Masai and Samburu and are the 43rd tribe in Kenya. However, unlike the Masai, the Njemps are fishermen. Visits to the Bamalok and Kokwa islands helps guests learn about their traditions and way of life. Lake Baringo has more than 300 hippos and the shores are countless crocodiles.

The lake also boasts fish eagles that the local guides feed. It always a spectacle watching them feed. The speed and precision with which they picked fish is breathtaking.

Apart from the fish eagles, the region boasts 450 species of birds. Unlike most lakes in the Rift Valley, Lake Baringo has brown water due to siltation and underground outlets. The water has fluoride and most residents have brown teeth as a result.

Cattle Crossing

It is fascinating to see the island’s cattle swim for about three hours across the lake to the cattle market in Marigat. When a cow refuses to swim, its calf would be thrown into the shallow end of the lake and the rest would quickly follow.

The owner would then remove the calf while the rest swam to the mainland. This spectacle takes place twice a month and only during the market days. Other captivating activities on the lake include fishing, rowing, water skiing and visits to Devil’s Island by boat and the reptile park.

Romantic getaway

The Lodge’s conducive and attractive compound is partially patched with rocks to portray its originality. To the East of the lake is the Laikipia escarpment while to the west rises the dramatic Tugen hills.

If you are not an outdoor person, the hotel offers entertainment in the form of traditional dancers and disco music for the young at heart.
