With handcrafted furniture, décor inspired by local cultures, and expansive views of Kenya’s landscapes, whether it’s an open savannah reaching toward the horizon or a wildlife-frequented watering hole, each lodging has a distinct atmosphere. 

 

With chances to unwind by the fire or take in the sounds of nature beneath a starry sky, evenings spent in these lodges and camps are genuinely unique. In addition, a lot of lodges provide community lounge spaces and swimming pools where you can relax.
