Flamingo Hill Tented Camp

Flamingo Hill Tented Camp

10/10 Excellent
"It was altogether wonderful BUT we did not know that the camp, being inside the Lake Nakuru Park would mean paying a great deal more than the hotel rates - an extra £300, for the 2days. Your booking should warn people of this before they book the camp."
