Activities
"That wonderful dilemma... to leave the luxury of your room to explore the wilderness around, or just relax at ‘home’?"
From dawn to dusk there are an array of exciting activities to help you get the most from your stay.
Day game drives
Morning or afternoon drives in our customised safari vehicles. All safaris are conducted by fully licensed guides who are experts in bush craft and have an in depth understanding of how to position the vehicle to secure the best photograph or witness a special moment while on safari.
Night game drives
Night game drives allow you to see some of the more secretive, nocturnal animals such as leopard, striped hyena, aardwolf, genet, bush-babies and African wild cats. Just being in the bush at night, under the stars, listening to the sounds is magical.
Guided Walking
An amazing opportunity to get in touch with nature and learn all about the flora and fauna. Exceptional hiking opportunities exist for guests along the Nguruman Escarpment and up the gorge to various waterfalls behind the lodge.
Tubing down the Ewaso Ngiro River
A magical and tranquil experience float in an inner tube down one of the few crocodile free rivers in Africa under spreading fig and tamarind trees. This activity is dependent on the water levels in the river.
Bird watching
The conservation area and the two soda lakes, Magadi and Natron, are home to over 350 species of birds including numerous migratory species which use this unique eco-system as a stop-off point on their annual journey. See if you can add to our growing bird list!
Walking with baboons
The local research centre, under the guidance of Dr. Shirley Strum, a leading expert on baboon behaviour, have habituated a troop of baboons that allow you to interact with them as they go about their natural activities.
Star Gazing
There are few better places to appreciate the magical night sky, take advantage of the minimal light pollution at Lentorre to see the stars at their best.
