Description

The small and exclusive Samatian is set on a private Island on Lake Baringo in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. With its breath-taking views across the waters of the lake to the imposing backdrop of the Laikipia Escarpment, the island offers the perfect getaway for the adventurous people.

The beauty of Baringo is legendary, with its spectacular sunsets, dazzling array of bird life, and the Njemps fishermen continuing a traditional lifestyle.

Samatian Island offers guests the ultimate in relaxation & exclusivity in magical surroundings.

The infinity pool uses natural water from the lake directly across and is operated as a plunge pool, the water is topped up or changed as often as we are able. Be careful as the bottom can be quite slippery.

The ultimate escape to a private island

Thank you to Caro and family for sharing this stunning private island getaway with us! We had such a wonderful stay – it could not have been better! It was so relaxing and the perfect way to truly “get away from it all”! Don't expect Wifi and TV - this is a truly special place to immerse yourself in nature, canoe, walk, fish, read a good book, and spend quality time with loved ones. We enjoyed a trip to Giraffe Island (which is a real gem – highly recommend), and we also got to feed the Fish Eagles from the boat with fish that we bought from the local fishermen. We even got to enjoy the full moon, and getting to know the resident Owl. The staff are amazing – so welcoming and professional – especially Richard (host) and Jackson (cook), but every one of them are wonderful and will make your stay very comfortable indeed! ”
