Mukima Manor: A Boutique Wilderness Retreat on Mount Kenya’s Foothills
Deep in the heart of Laikipia, Mukima Manor Sanctuary occupies 300 acres of protected bush and velvet lawns, anchored by a perfectly restored cedar‑framed Manor House. With verandahs overlooking a private lake and the silhouette of Mount Kenya beyond, guests are immersed in an intimate setting where elephants roam at dusk and the rhythms of the savannah set the pace of each day.
The property has 8 en-suite rooms and has an amazing dining experience that is crafted by two private chefs using fresh, organic produce from the on‑site kitchen garden, offering everything from Swahili specialties to inventive vegan fare.
Wellness and adventure intertwine here as guests can experience a poolside massage or cedar‑wood sauna session at the private spa, explore 100 acres of rewilded forest on guided walks or horseback, plat tennis with friends, or recharge by the infinity pool. Tailored game drives depart in private safari vehicles, while high‑speed internet and a log‑fired boardroom make Mukima ideal for corporate retreats, weddings, and other bespoke events.
With a 20‑year conservation vision, Mukima is 100% off‑grid and is powered by renewable energy, free of single‑use plastics and toxic chemicals, and dedicated to rewilding 100 acres into indigenous forest. By staying here, guests directly support sustainable tourism and vital conservation efforts that protect the estate’s biodiversity for generations to come
