Elementaita - The undiscovered and unexploited tour gem

For some unknown reason, Lake Nakuru has always overshadowed Lake Elementaita when it comes to local tourism. Perhaps, it is because Lake Nakuru region is famous for its hundreds of  flamingo birds that crowd the lake or for Hell's Gate National Park which is a major attraction for rock climbers!Regardless the reason, Nakuru has always stood out! However, over the recent past Elementaita has seemingly become a force to reckon with it's ever friendly people, great natural sites, proximity to Hell's Gate Park but most importantly the emerging amazing accommodation properties!

Elementaita, is one of those places that if you listen carefully you will here it cry out that it should not be forgotten. Among the accommodation places that are stunningly wooing not only the locals are Sleeping Warrior Camp, Sunbird Lodge, Jacaranda Lake Elementaita Lodge, Lake Elementaita Country Lodge and as from early this month, making a new but burly entry is Serena Lake Elementaita Luxury  Lodge!

Unlike most of the tour regions in Kenya, Elementaita is the one place that you can get pocket friendly accommodation from as little as KES 6,000 per person sharing on full board basis to Luxury accomodation worth from KES 10,000 and above, per person sharing on full board basis!

The intriguing part is that Elementaita is only approximately two hours drive from Nairobi and if you were to depart mid-morning hours, you would be at your desired lodge or hotel in time for lunch!
