Visit to Samatian Island, Lake Baringo
On Saturday, we were invited for lunch at Samatian Island in Lake Baringo. Samatian Island is owned and operated by Ross and Caro Withey, who also manage Roberts Camp on the mainland. An isolated up-market tented camp, picturesque and very private, Samatian is a self or arranged catering hideaway for anyone who simply wants to get away from it all. With accommodations for up to 10 or so (depending on number of children), a small swimming pool set against the lake backdrop, facilities for safaris to the other islands as well as the mainland on both sides of the lake, breakfasts at the hot springs, water sports and other wonderful options, Samatian Island is a choice location for a private family holiday.
