Experiences

• Game drives

  Your experienced guide will know the Enonkishu, Lemek and Ol Chorro Oiruwa conservancies extremely well. There are plenty of big cats, elephants and plains game to see within a short distance of the house. The Mara Game Reserve is a 50km game drive away, and if you’re visiting over the Great Migration, you may even witness a dramatic river crossing.

• Guided walks

  Head out on a guided walk and there is lots to see, including a huge variety of bird species around the house and on the river banks. If you’re feeling more energetic you can go on a guided walk or climb up the Kileleoni Hill. It’s the highest point in the Greater Mara Ecosystem and you’ll be treated to incredible views. This is also the perfect spot for sundowners or bush breakfasts if you take a drive up first thing.

• Horse riding

  If you’re an experienced rider you might choose to go out on a hack around the farm and get up close to giraffes, wildebeests and zebras on horseback.

• Farm activities

  There are generally a variety of activities going on around the farm on a daily basis which you can discover. Take an early-morning 15-minute walk to the dairy herd to milk a cow. Fresh milk makes your morning coffee all the more delicious.
