Governors Mugie House

Covering almost 50,000 acres, Mugie Conservancy provides a key wildlife access route between the Laikipia plateau, the Mathews Range, and the Samburu lands to the north and east. Vast acacia-dotted savannahs, scrubland, and olive forests are a haven to a multitude of wildlife including all the big cats, buffalo, elephants and endemic northern Kenyan species such as Grevy's zebra, Jackson's hartebeest, and reticulated giraffe. Perched on a hill are eight stone cottages, each with sweeping views of the Laikipia landscape. A large main house with open log fires will host guests for relaxing cocktails and scrumptious meals, from a creative menu prepared with ingredients sourced from the property's vegetable garden. An infinity pool offers lovely shaded areas and a casual alfresco dining area, while a waterhole set in front of Mugie House attracts a variety of wildlife with a hide to offer some close encounters.
