Flamingo Hill Tented Camp, Lake Nakuru

The Flamingo Hill Tented Camp is found in the famous Lake Nakuru National Park which lies within the Great Rift Valley. The Flamingo Hill Camp is located between what is known as the ‘honeymoon hills’ and is surrounded by natural foliage, different vegetation including African plants, landscaped grounds, and flowers. The tented accommodation is about 160 kilometers in the North western part of Nairobi approximately a 2 hours’ drive to get to the camp. It is a short distance if you are flying from Nairobi to the camp as it is approximately a 30 minutes flight to the Naishi Airstrip and a drive to the camp from the Airstrip is 15 minutes.
