Your home here is Manzili House, a peaceful retreat in the leafy Karen suburbs, where Swahili-inspired architecture, intimate spaces and a relaxed atmosphere provide a welcoming start to your journey.

Spend the day exploring Nairobi through a series of engaging and family-friendly experiences. Visit the Giraffe Center for an up-close encounter with endangered Rothschild giraffes, followed by a stop at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to learn about the rehabilitation of orphaned elephants. Continue to the Karen Blixen Museum and enjoy a leisurely lunch before returning to your residence for a relaxed evening.

Fly north to Laikipia Plateau, a vast and diverse region known for its conservation success and unique wildlife. Home to endangered species such as Grevy’s zebra and black rhino, these private conservancies offer an immersive safari experience away from the crowds. Settle into Arijiju, an exclusive-use villa blending refined elegance with the surrounding wilderness, before your first game viewing activity.

Spend the day exploring Laikipia through a range of tailored activities. Options may include game drives in search of the blue-skinned Somali ostrich and greater kudu, guided walks with expert rangers or horseback riding across open plains. The flexibility of the conservancy allows for a personalized pace, with time to relax back at the house between activities.

Whether venturing out on a night drive, visiting community initiatives or simply unwinding at the property’s extensive facilities, today offers time to fully appreciate this unique region.

Fly by private charter to a private conservancy north of the Maasai Mara, one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. Characterized by sweeping savannas and winding rivers, the reserve supports an extraordinary density of wildlife. Settle into Wild Hill, a relaxed and intimate retreat set along the Mara River, before heading out on a game drive in search of the region’s iconic species.

Rise early for a morning game drive, when the bush is most active and wildlife sightings are at their peak. Return to camp for breakfast and time to relax and bond as a family during the early afternoon heat. Your villa features an infinity pool, inclusive spa and pickleball court, as well as the opportunity to walk with rhinos and meet the local Maasai. Head out again in the late afternoon. As the sun sets over the savanna, pause for scenic views before driving back for dinner.

Start your final day on safari with a memorable breakfast in the bush, the plains stirring to life around you. Continue exploring the Enonkishu Conservancy on guided game drives across its diverse terrain of open savannas, woodlands and riverbanks. Watch for crocodiles along the river’s edge, hippos in the shallows and a variety of wildlife moving through the landscape, from elephants, giraffes and monkeys moving through the landscape.
