You book individual cottages — five double cottages with fireplaces and bathtubs, one suite with a private plunge pool, and one family cottage with interconnecting rooms and a plunge pool — all positioned to face the open Laikipia plains. A main house with log fires serves as the shared dining and sitting space. A waterhole below the lodge has an adjacent hide where you can watch game come to drink without leaving the property.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the conservancy is privately managed, activities go beyond what national parks permit: day and night game drives in private 4×4 vehicles, guided bush walks, lion tracking, anti-poaching demonstrations, canoeing on Mugie Dam, e-bike rides, and a nine-hole golf course. Guides schedule each day around your group's interests rather than a fixed timetable. The conservancy connects the Laikipia plateau to the Mathews Range and Samburu lands, and supports resident populations of Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, elephant, lion, leopard, Beisa oryx, and Jackson's hartebeest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScheduled flights serve Mugie Airstrip from Nairobi and the Masai Mara, with a road transfer of around twenty minutes to the lodge. A road transfer from Nanyuki takes approximately three hours. There is no minimum age for children, and laundry is done daily at no additional charge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43528700067899,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/181217mugiehouseandrooms-41jpg_5e05cadc-cdb7-46be-80f5-09d0200286ed.webp?v=1779185090"},{"product_id":"borana-lodge","title":"Borana Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorana Lodge sits on a hillside inside Borana Conservancy in Laikipia, at around six thousand five hundred feet above sea level, with Mount Kenya visible to the south. Below the lodge is a dam where elephant gather to bathe; lion and leopard move through the area at night. In 2014, Borana and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy removed the fence between them, forming a single landscape of ninety-two thousand acres. That landscape holds over one hundred black rhino and ninety-two white rhino — fourteen percent of Kenya's total rhino population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lodge has eight rooms across six cottages. Four stand-alone cottages are built into the hillside, each with a fireplace, en-suite bathroom with both shower and bath, and a verandah facing the valley. Two further cottages are configured for families, each with a double and a twin room sharing a sitting room and minibar; the most recent of these also has a private plunge pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActivities are run by trained Kenyan field guides and conservancy rangers. Game drives go out morning, afternoon, and after dinner. Each morning, rangers are required to locate every individual rhino on the conservancy; guests can join that tracking exercise on foot. Horse riding is available from two sets of stables — ex-polo ponies for experienced riders, quieter horses for beginners — and mountain bikes are available for the hills. Guided bush walks, anti-poaching deployment visits, and a trip to the Ngare Ndare forest on the southern boundary are all options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lodge has a pool, a spa, and communal dining.

Guests set out on foot with Ndorobo trackers, among the most skilled in Kenya, following the stories animals leave in the soil rather than driving past them. The camp sits at the edge of a wide plain in Laikipia, with granitic inselbergs rising to the south like islands on the grassland. Acacia trees dot the view from the sitting room, where a bird bath draws a wide range of species through the day. Seven tents are arranged in pairs to the east and west of the main area; three are configured as family rooms, with a double bed, extra singles, and a day bed. Each tent has an en suite bathroom with floor lighting and a private verandah. Beyond walking, the options run wide: camel rides from the camp's own boma, rock climbing on more than 25 top-rope routes set up for beginners and advanced climbers alike, guided jogs of 5 to 10 km with an escort, and visits to local schools and Masai homes nearby. A 20 metre lap pool looks out over open plains, with a bar alongside for evening drinks. Guides speak English, Masai, and Swahili. Kimanjo's market runs every other Wednesday, half an hour from camp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43968610861115,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/256969_2Fk3eacbom.jpg?v=1786526677"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-us\/collections\/region-laikipia-county.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
