Laikipia Retreat, Kenya
Inspired by Ethiopian monasteries, this exceptional private house is steeped in to the landscape and leaves a very subtle footprint on the view to Mount Kenya. The property is one of the most beautiful houses. It has five bedrooms and can only be rented exclusively.
Built on the Borana conservancy in Laikipia, the land is teeming with wildlife, including Africa’s Big Five, wild dog, and cheetah. Game drives are a must but the owners also encourages guests to explore on foot, go jogging or mountain biking. There is fantastic game viewing in a private reserve and huge lion and elephant populations.
The property is not just a safari but a wellness retreat too. Home grown produce and fresh daily juice blends lend to the healthy lifestyle the property supports. There is a 25 meter infinity lap pool, a spa, Hammam, fully equipped gym, yoga deck, clay tennis court and squash court, all inconspicuously blending in to the valley, and the highly skilled masseuse and beauty therapist is available at no extra cost.
