A genuinely owner-hosted home on a UNESCO World Heritage rhino conservancy, where game drives sit alongside horse and camel riding safaris with sweeping views to Mount Kenya and the Mathews Range.
A relaxed, family-run safari home set on a hill in the heart of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, run by the Macfarlanes. Distinctive eco-friendly Earthpods, some with outdoor baths and a solar-heated pool, give it a personal, design-led character. It pairs reliable Big Five game viewing with riding safaris on horseback and by camel.
