Deep in the heart of Laikipia, one of Kenya’s most spectacular game viewing areas stands the perfectly restored, Mukima Manor House, with its twin gables, cedar framed windows and large, sweeping verandahs overlooking rolling lawns towards the private lake. In the distance, the snow-capped peaks of Africa’s second-highest mountain.

Nestled within 300 private acres of African bush and velvet lawns dotted with lavender and embellished with a shaded tennis court and oval swimming pools, this timber and stone Manor House could as easily stand in the home counties of England as it could in Kenya’s heartland….. except the windows reflect the jagged peaks of Africa’s only Equatorial volcano, or should you take an evening drive to one of the neighbouring conservancies, you’ll be surrounded by elephants. Here amongst the wild fauna and flora, we offer a new intimate, immersive, and elevated holiday experience.

The Manor House

The double storey house, set in vivid tropical flowerbeds with expansive lawns, has 9 ensuite bedrooms, a cinema room, large kitchen with store, laundry room, cloakroom, drawing room, dining room, a generous entrance hall and an upstairs gallery. There is a first floor open terrace, perfect for sundowners while watching the white egrets fly home to roost on the dam against the backdrop of the mountain and the African dusk. Just as stunning on the clear mornings is the sunrise, which silhouettes the mountain on soft pink and blue. The front of the house has a large, wrap-around veranda, used for daytime dining.
