Kenya: Cultural Encounters and Wildlife Safari

Discover the unique experience of sleeping under a star-studded Kenyan sky at Il Ngwesi Lodge. Two spacious rooms, creatively designed with local sustainable material, offer you the unique experience of sleeping out in the open while your favorite nocturnal animals come out to play. The thatched, cottage-like rooms are tucked away in a secluded corner of this rustic-chic hillside property, perched on stilts and shaded by a thick canopy of trees. The lovely earthy accommodation overlooks a resident water hole, with spectacular views of the surrounding Mararoi hills and the Samburu valley beyond. The extended wrap around verandas of these two cottages are equipped with large four-poster ‘star beds’ complete with sturdy mosquito netting. With an armed guard positioned just a little distance away to keep you safe, and the staff always at hand, your ‘open air’ bed offers you the opportunity to sleep under the stars in complete luxury! (Please note that this experience is dependent on the weather and subject to availability).

Explore the stunning beauty, diverse landscapes and amazing wildlife of the Masai Mara on fantastic game drives. The best time for this is in the early morning when the animals are particularly active and in the late afternoon when the sun paints incredible colors on the horizon.
