Egret Savannah Camp:
Formally Flamingo Hill Camp Nakuru
Long before the sun lifts its golden embroidery over the Rift Valley, a hush settles across the soda flats of Lake Nakuru. The air cools, the horizon lightens, and a distant cry — a giraffe calling, a rhinoceros sighing — signals the beginning of another day in Kenya’s wild heart. From your private veranda at Egret Savannah Camp, the mirrored surface of the lake shimmers pink as thousands of flamingos stir, a ballet of wings and reflections that feels like a dream. This is more than an escape. It is the moment you become part of the land.
Discover Egret Savannah Camp: Luxury & Nature in Harmony
Location & Access
- Nestled in Lake Nakuru National Park, within the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, Egret Savannah Camp is tucked between the lush “honeymoon hills,” surrounded by savannah plains and indigenous foliage.
- Accessible by road from Nairobi in approximately 2–3 hours, or by chartered flight in about 30 minutes.
Accommodation & Tents
- The camp comprises 25 luxury tents, each thatched with traditional roofs and decorated in safari tones using natural woods, crisp linens, and wrought iron accents.
- Every tent features:
• A private verandah with panoramic views of the plains and Lake Nakuru.
• En-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and showers (hot & cold running water).
• Four-poster beds draped with mosquito nets, stone patios, and outdoor seating for peaceful evenings under the stars.

- Game drives both in the morning and late afternoon allow sightings of white and black rhino, giraffes, lions, leopards, waterbuck, buffalo and a range of antelope species.
- Rich birdlife beyond flamingos includes pelicans, starlings, eagles, and many endemic and migratory species. Birdwatching, nature walks, and romantic sundowners are regular highlights.
Best Times & Practical Info

Why Egret Savannah Camp Stands Out
- It balances luxury safari accommodation with authenticity — from thatched roofs to verandas overlooking wild plains.
