Located at the end of a lifeless, winding and dusty road as you approach the shores of Lake Elementaita is the Pinklakeman’s eco-lodge-cum-campsite.
This little Kenyan paradise is located 127 km from Nairobi, along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway, about a kilometer from the highway.

After a five hour journey from Nairobi, turning into the Blue Towers Hotel in Meru was like stepping into a warm bath on a cold day.

What would it cost me to come in and enjoy a glass of wine with my girlfriends?
