The community owned and managed camp site at the beautiful West Bay area of the Lake, about 3 kms North of the village, offers an enticing alternative for campers in Baringo.
West Bay Campsite has been set up on the 300 acre Ngeny'in (="Salt-lick") Conservancy, and 100% of the income reverts to the 105 members of the local community who have participated in the enterprise.
West Bay Campsite consists of an approximately 20-acre acre within the 300-acre fenced Conservancy which has been set aside for camping. The camping area consists of an acacia woodland, and a large grassy area stretching to the Lake itself.
This part of the Lake is ideal for hiking and exploration as one can walk for miles either North, South or inland to the cliffs, almost completely unimpeded by fences.
There are few facilities in the camp site other than a small sanitation block consisting of a long drop WC and a shower but – depending on the reasons for your visit - this may largely be compensated for by the wilderness location and the possibilities for reaching into a local community.www.crocodileracers.com
Firewood is readily available and a "runner" is also on hand to shop at the village for necessities. A runner to the village for supplies is available at a fee.
