Mountain bike riding

There is a huge amount and variety of bird species around the house. Much can be seen on guided walks along the river banks.

For the more energetic guests, a guided walk / climb up the Kileleoni Hill is well worth it. Being the highest point in the Greater Mara Ecosytem, the view stretches out as far as the eye can see. Also a great spot for sundowners or bush breakfasts for those who’d rather go up in the car!

At any moment in the day, there is bound to be some kind of interesting activity going on at the farm. An early morning 15 minute walk to the dairy herd to milk a cow for your morning coffee makes it all the more delicious.

An authentic experience where our local maasai guide takes you to his family home or the Emarti Primary and Secondary Schools are 5 km away from the main farm gate, crossing over the river at the Emarti Bridge. With over 700 children to visit guests always get a warm welcome.

Our team of maasai watchmen on the farm are also talented singers and dancers, and always willing to perform their latest traditional hit at sundown on the lawn by the house.

On the edge of the hill, guests can get up close to the tame rhinos in the Rhino Sanctuary.

Sit on the banks of the mara river and see who can catch the biggest catfish.

There is a tennis court on the farm, a 15 minute walk from the house, or a 5 minute drive away.

Ride alongside the giraffe and zebra of Naretoi, or venture down to the Mara Training Centre where you can visit the Wild Shamba or see the women beading.
