Laragai: The DetailLaragai was built on Borana Ranch by two brothers - Lords Valentine and Michael Cecil - who have business interests in Nairobi and wanted a country retreat. George and Lucilla Stephenson, who subsequently bought the lease, have invested time and money in the refurbishment of the house. The house is built on the edge of an escarpment which falls down 3000 feet into the Northern Frontier District. The views are stupendous - Lolokwe and Wamba Mountain dominate the far horizon to the north and Mt Kenya looms out of the clouds to the south. An extraordinary house was constructed - no corners were cut and the most opulent home in Laikipia was created. Mirrors from Ireland, fabrics from London, hand-made furniture from Kenya and rugs from Rajasthan were used to decorate the house. The result is an eclectic mixture of styles and textures, which give Laragai its totally unique appearance. The house can sleep ten in extreme comfort and there is plenty more room for children and guides. You may also likeLewa Downs
This is a perfect retreat for any large group or family and offers utter seclusion in what is, after all, a relatively small wildlife conservancy.
Lewa Downs
Lewa Wilderness is probably our pick of the lodges in the Lewa Conservancy as it combines a whole spread of both activities and privacy. Each of the cottages is very spacious and gives you the feeling of total privacy while not feeling cut off from the lodge itself. As an actual home, the communal areas feel welcoming and comfortable with the swimming pool area and bar being particular favourites!
Mount Meru
The most significant feature of Elsa’s, apart from the views that stretch for years and the perfect tranquility, is the staff and their attitude in the camp. The camp makes a point of growing most of its own produce and so boasts a wonderful selection of fresh vegetables with which to cook.
