Birdwatching
-
The Cliff offers expertly guided game drives. Open-sided Land Cruisers start out from camp in early morning or late afternoon. Lake Nakuru National Park contains a real wealth of wildlife! Four of the Big Five live here – lion, rhino, leopard, and buffalo. Smaller predators in residence include cheetah, hyena, and wild dog, while the herbivore count features giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and waterbuck. The park’s acacia forest contains vervet monkey and olive baboon, while the lake attracts loads of hippo!
There are plenty of bird highlights too, not least vast flocks of greater and lesser flamingos. You can also look out for great white pelican, grey crowned crane, and white-fronted bee-eater – in all, there are approximately four hundred types of feathery friend here. Migratory species can be seen from November to April inclusive, so this is the best time to travel if you’re a particularly keen birder!
Facilities
The communal areas at The Cliff are just as stylish as the guest rooms
The lounge contains comfortable sofas and armchairs around coffee tables, with the property’s well-stocked bar positioned conveniently close by. In the restaurant, guests tuck in to exquisitely prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, all the while marvelling at views across the lake. The Cliff also has a well-equipped gym for fitness fans, and a high-class spa for anyone in need of a little pampering! In the grounds, there’s a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by sunloungers, perfect for relaxation between activities. And for business clients, there’s an excellently appointed conference room.
