This Garden Room is set back a little bit from the hillside and hidden away in the trees, offering views over the top and onto the valley beyond. With a small upstairs, it is perfect for couples or for friends and siblings who wish to share.

The Hillside Cottages take advantage of the stunning northerly views from Lewa. Each room is quite different in its layout and sleeping configuration and takes advantage of the uneven hill side to form unusual shapes which load them with character. Every room has en suite facilities and its own private sitting area, bar and veranda.

The Garden Cottages at Lewa Wilderness are nearest the main areas and are built in pairs with private en suite facilities and a shared veranda and sitting room. The layout of these rooms is ideal for a family or those who do not want to walk too far as they are nearer the main facilities. The rooms are flanked and fronted by well kept lawns which give families that extra outdoor space to use. These Garden rooms were built to cater for families or friends travelling together and remain very close to the heart of everything that happens here.

This Hillside Cottage is the furthest away from the main areas, and is complete with its own private veranda and plunge pool. It has a shared living room with two ensuite bedrooms, one of which is a small twin. Bright and airy, this cottage is great for those who wish to be a little more remote.

Our brand new, exclusive use private house is named after the indigenous tree specie "Acacia Nilotica', which we are passionately regenerating here inside the conservancy as part of our positive impact initiatives.

This stunning private house is our most beautiful creation yet: located adjacent to Main Lodge, this exclusive use area offers luxury, privacy and big views of this landscape and wildlife at close quarters.

​

From December 2024, Nilotica will have four separate cottages sleeping up to 10 pax, the house is perfect for families and small groups looking for that extra level of privacy and comfort. It offers a sprawling wooden breakfast deck on stilts overlooking the river and landscape beyond, a natural Eco Smarte swimming pool, a brand new Pool House with a dining area, fireplace and relaxed seating and a bar for cocktails.

The hidden fire pit outside is sandy underfoot with lantern surrounds, perfect for star gazing and fireside stories.

An active salt lick and waterhole have been made just outside the fence attracting wildlife including elephant, zebra, bush buck and buffalo throughout the day and out in full view of the pool and relaxation area.

​

The two river cottages can be used either as an extension of the lodge or as a small, private camp for two couples friends/families travelling together.

To make this work for exclusive bookings we have included a stunning private dining room, living room, bar and outdoor fire pit under the shade of huge fever trees. It has a completely different feel from the main lodge and is ideal for couples travelling together, honeymooners or special family trips where privacy is of the utmost concern.

The dining room has a large table fitting 8-10 people, a cosy living room area at one end with a small fireplace and a bar at the other end for cocktails and sundowners. Tucked away behind the dining room is a lovely kitchen for cooking on site and a restroom so that guests do not have to go back to their rooms to find that convenience.

The outdoor area in from of the dining room has two grass levels and an open fire pit where we hold bush dinners under the stars, drinks by the fire and we also use our mobile BBQ oven so that we can cook over the embers with our guests. Food being such an essential part of our trips and experience, this is a great addition!

These charming bandas have a spacious central room with a double bed/ twin set up, a shaded seating area for reading and relaxing, furniture for storing/hanging clothes and an ensuite bathroom with large river stone baths and overhead showers.

Bandas have their own verandas for reading and star gazing. All look directly onto the river and a salt lick attracting wildlife all through the day.

The bandas are have thatch roofs, stone and canvas sides and are lovingly decorated with cosy soft furnishings, hand carved cedar beds and hand picked wild flowers, paraben free soaps and toiletries.

All have 24 hour electricity that runs on solar energy, with overhead lighting, reading lamps and outdoor veranda light for easy entry at nighttime. Hot water systems are very effective and solar driven ensuring hot water at all times of day. No wifi in these bedrooms, only in public areas like the pool. Great choice of digital detox or couples on a slightly lower budget.

This cottage is large, two storey and is designed for maximum family fun! It has two bedrooms: the master bedroom has a large double bed fit for a king and queen, two small tree house floors with single beds for children over 8 years up some carved steps and a spacious living area with a sofa and armchairs and writing desk.

The second bedroom is smaller with two twin beds (double adaptation too) and a round glass window for game viewing. The bathroom is spacious with a river-facing rock bath and a separate shower. There is a lot of additional space outside this cottage for kids to run and explore.

Private car for any family over 4 pax in this cottage. Wifi in this cottage.

There is a large veranda and playing area outside with a swinging chair for reading under the shade of the trees and outdoor furniture for lounging and early morning coffee moments! Private dining and private fire pit can be set up for families who want to be close to their sleeping children.

We have 3 different dining areas: 1 overlooking the river and 2 overlooking the swimming pool. Both are open under thatch, informal, relaxed and built with beautiful fallen wood including nilotica and cedar and giant bamboo.

All our food is fresh, organic, hearty, clean and mostly home-grown in our beautiful organic garden here on the property - we offer farm tours and picking mornings for families with kids and any interested guests. We also have a small dairy at the farm that allows us to provide fresh farm milk and milk products made in our kitchen. We cook all home made breads, desserts, pastries and pastas. We can adapt our menus to suit all dietary needs and we also produce kids food and can adjust the timings of meals for family groups. We have our own Cook Book : The Bush Kitchen: Notes and Recipes from the Wild, written by the owner Sophie Grant, published in 2022.

We have a state of the art open kitchen, for guests to come and watch the food being prepared, bake bread with us and learn about our recipes.

Bush meals are also a big highlight and our bush breakfasts and dinners out in the bush are very special.

The relaxed, bush home feel translates to our eating style - a mix of French, Italian and meditterrean influences. We also offer the option when possible of offering private meals or separate dining areas and tables whenever guests prefer this. Our aim is to offer as much flexibility as possible.

Our swimming pool is pioneering in its environmentally responsible technology and voted the best in Laikipia by our clients and the Daily Nation newspaper! Laikipia's hidden gem.

It does not use salt or chlorine, but rather a copper based deionising system to kill bacteria. Like our whole lodge this pool is chemical free and runs on 100% solar power. We are the first in Kenya to use this Eco Smarte technology but others are following suit.

A fantastic place to relax in the heat of the day, bird watch as the aloes and acacia trees surrounding the pool attract several varieties of sunbirds and finches, this is one of the most popular places within the lodge for groups, couples and of course families with children!

The main pool is 12 m long so perfect for swimming laps or just having fun and there is also a two tiered baby pool for small children and parents to relax in shallower depths.

The pool has a lush lawn irrigated by recycled grey water and two swinging armchairs, 1o wooden carved sunloungers, multiple areas for lounging and relaxing, two areas for eating with open fire places and plenty of space for having private meals at night under the stars.

There is also a bar, an adjoining bathroom and changing room for convenience and beautiful decor including paintings by Lavinia Grant, as in the main lodge.
