## Details

## Why Stay at The Cliff Nakuru?

The Cliff is a boutique property unlike anything else in the Rift Valley: ten luxury tented suites set on platforms along a dramatic rock face 100 metres above Lake Nakuru. Floor-to-ceiling glass, outward-facing king beds and freestanding baths positioned for the view turn every suite into a private observatory over the soda lake below.

## Where Is The Cliff Nakuru & What Wildlife Can You See?

The property stands inside Lake Nakuru National Park, reached in 3 to 3.5 hours by road from Nairobi or via a 25 to 30-minute flight to Naishi airstrip followed by a short game-drive transfer. From this in-park base, guests enjoy immediate access to one of Kenya's best rhino sanctuaries, with leopards, lions, buffalo and flamingo-lined shores among the highlights; migratory birds flood the lake basin from November onwards.

## Rooms & Style

Each of the 10 identical Luxury Tented Suites offers a king bed facing the panorama, a private veranda and a freestanding tub, styled in a clean contemporary safari aesthetic. An infinity-style pool overlooking the lake, a gym, spa treatments and Afro-fusion fine dining underline the boutique positioning. Yoga and wellness sessions, star-gazing from the decks and private helicopter transfers to the camp’s secure pad underline the property’s boutique ambitions at the top of Nakuru’s escarpment.

## Who Is It Ideal For?

- Couples and honeymooners seeking sunrise views from bed
- Design-conscious travellers who want architecture with their safari
- Photographers capturing flamingos and raptors from altitude
- Short-break guests wanting maximum drama within easy reach of Nairobi

The property also accepts private helicopter landings at its secure pad by advance booking.

### What wildlife can I see from The Cliff Nakuru?
The Cliff sits inside Lake Nakuru National Park, giving immediate access to one of Kenya's best rhino sanctuaries, with leopards, lions and buffalo among the highlights and flamingo-lined shores below.
