What a great spot! Great service, nice pool (with buffaloes watching you swim through a fairly thin fence!) beautiful tent. They even came by in the evening to offer a hot water bottle for the foot of the bed! Nice touch.
The food was good too - one day they had naan made to order on a wood stove. The only thing is the dining room is a bit dark - under a huge thatched roof, but somehow it can be cold & dark, even on a pretty day. We would have liked to sit on the patio but it wasn't set up that way. Oh, and music in the dining room was really awful (we told them... Peruvian flutes playing over & over) But great service, friendly staff and the tented rooms are great. Amazing showers. We will be back - for longer next time, and when the flamingos aren't at Lake Baringo instead...!

Although we used Tripadvisor reviews when deciding to stay at this lodge, I have to say our expectations were not met on a 2-night stay in October 2011.  As an East African safari operator myself, I am more picky than most,and would notice details a first time visitor might miss. Overall this lodge would not rate more than 3 stars in my book.

The camp is located in the north western corner of the Lake Nakuru National Park, and while it is great to be inside the fence, the approach to the camp is directly under the high voltage line that runs across the park. We did, however have great jackal and buffalo experiences on the approach to the lodge.

The camp itself is 200 metres from a busy and noisy suburb of Nakuru town, and inevitably this put the urban cacophony of Nakuru within earshot of the rooms closest to the town, on the western side of the camp.  Most noticeable was the hooting of the local minibuses at dawn. The owners have been quite clever in trying to drown this out, by constructing artificial waterfalls near the tents to create white noise at night, and by playing piped music in the public areas. The piped music, however, is something I have never encountered in a bush lodge, and was at one point so intrusive in the dining room, that I couldn't have a conversation with my wife across the table over lunch. The camp is located on a flat piece of ground, and offers no views of the bush or the park.

The rooms are again, adequate, but nothing to compare with what is on offer elsewhere in Kenya these days. The A-frame tents with a concrete bathroom in the back are pretty formulaic. The tents were a little dark, and the finishing in the bathroom rough and ready. The room was comfortable, though, and the hot water bottle at night a welcome touch.

The decor was a bit cliched, with lots of animal-print cushions, but look out for the stunning aerial short of flamingos that hangs in the passage to the dining room. The grounds are well manicured, but would be more suited to a home in suburban Nairobi than a tented camp in a national park.

The staff were all friendly and responsive, and the briefing we arrived on arrival was thorough, if a bit parroted. On departure, I was disappointed to have the barman try to cheat me of my change. Also, the very friendly and personable head waiter, who had been great all along, made a point of waiting for me at reception to inform me that his tip was not included in the general staff tip box, and that I should pay him his tip separately. I found this strange and offensive.

The food portions were generous, but once again, the menu was uninspired, with cream soups, meat and 2 veg for main and stodgy desserts. Breakfast was a buffet that was fine.

Feral cats abound on the grounds,and on a nocturnal visit to the car park, I counted 9 in the visitors receiving area. I cannot imagine the cats are having a positive effect on the small wildlife of the park in and around the camp, and they further damage the ambience of a bush camp.

The pool was the highlight of the lodge for us. Little used, but sparkling, and surprisingly warm for this area, my son and I spent many a happy hour here. It uses some sort of salt-based purification system, which obviously works well. It offers a welcome respite attend of a hot and dusty game drive.

We arrived in darkness approx 6.00pm after a very full/long day, having spent the morning driving from Amboseli National Park, boating on Lake Naivasha and wandering around the island photographing the wildlife and then driving through Lake Nakuru with the spectacular sight of the pink flamingoes as well as three rhinos and many other animals. It was hard to get a feel for the layout of the camp in the dark but we were very happy with our tented accommodation. Our large tent had a concrete floor, big four poster bed with mosquito net and a very large "ensuite" bathroom, with a great hot water system.
The couple who own the place were very welcoming and friendly - the check in process very relaxed.The service throughout the reception, bar and restaurant was excellent. The property which has a very relaxed feel to it, consists of one large main open air building comprising, reception, lounge, bar and restaurant, The tents are scattered around the grounds, reached by pathways. There is a pool and spa area, which we did not use - one night stop only.
A la carte dinner was very nice, we did not have breakfast as we had a really early (6.00 am) start.
This property is in a lovely location and we had no complaints at all. Would recommend for a short stay - definitely an alternative to staying in large lodges.

Our 3rd stop on an 11 night safari through Kenya. Flamingo Hill did not disappoint.

Very comfortable tents...spacious with a great bathroom. Hot water bottles at bed time were a great touch except when my husband's leaked. The problem was quickly taken care of as his bed (mattress and all) was whisked away and replaced within minutes.

The food was some of the best we had on our trip. We really enjoyed the fresh Naan bread being made to order. Lunch and breakfast were buffet and dinner was a la carte. All very good.

We were able to take some time and enjoy the grounds. The pool was a comfortable oasis and the kids really enjoyed the covered hot tub. They were offering massages near the pool area but we didn't have enough time to enjoy this.

We had some great animal and bird sightings in the park itself. Lots of Rhino, both black and white, and Rothschild giraffe. Plenty of baboons near Flamingo Hill. We were told right away to keep our tents zipped at all times when we were not there as baboons will get in and tear things up.

Go and enjoy!
