Desert Rose Lodge, North Kenya, Kenya

A Luxury Lodge or Hotel in Kenya

Camp Details

Desert Rose, a unique eco-friendly lodge located at 5,500 feet (1676 meters) above sea level on the verdant cedar forest slopes of Mt Nyiru which towers majestically above the Elbarta plains, between Karisia Mountains and Lake Turkana in North Kenya. It consists of five unique houses accommodating up to twelve people.

The remote location of the lodge, its closeness to nature, and surreality amid the wilderness creates a unique atmosphere of spirituality and attracts not only people but also wild animals, like the friendly leopard which lives nearby and can be heard from a distance in the early morning and at dusk. There is no network at the lodge. However, there is a place we normally refer to as the “Safaricom rock”, where if the weather permits, you can get some network, hence the name.

WHY CHOOSE DESERT ROSE LODGE?

• Baboons and leopards are often heard close-by in the granite rock cliffs and the fig trees that abound with bird life. In very close proximity to the lodge we have an exciting natural rock slide and a perfect picnic site, a fun spot to spend the midday hours. There are a multitude of walks one can take from the lodge in the dry rugged country on the valley floor or high in the Cedar and Podo forest.
• There are journeys by road, either to the north to the Turkana Lake for fishing and an adventure into this rugged part of the world or towards the Ndoto Mountains for some wild rock climbing.
• The main lounge and a pool area have been hand crafted to blend with the indigenous gardens, landscaped to enhance the dramatic views. In the main lounge guests have at their disposal a fully stocked bar, a sitting room and a fireplace.
