...The review

Wild Hill

Redefining safari at a wellness retreat with spectacular views over the most famous wildlife destination in the world.

Embodying a more holistic approach than the traditional, exclusive-use safari lodge, Wild Hill occupies a commanding position overlooking the Masai Mara ecosystem and presents as the ultimate place to disconnect from the outside world, reconnect with nature and tap into a journey of self-discovery.

"Built into the side of the tallest hill overlooking the Masai Mara, Wild Hill is accessed through a dramatic tunnel hewn through the rock, leading to a pair of doors which in turn reveal a panoramic view over the wild. This contemporary property has a sense of pure ‘Alice in Wonderland’ theatrics, heightened by its phenomenal position.”

Things to do

The highlight activity at Wild Hill is as you would expect – game drives into the Mara Conservancies or ‘heli flips’ to see the great migration stream across the crocodile-filled rivers. Yet Wild Hill is much more than a safari lodge – this is an exclusive-use wellness retreat personalised to you: think infinity pools, instructor-led yoga and wholesomely delicious meals created by your own personal chef. Wild Hill has a full team on standby consisting of a dedicated host, chef, housekeepers, a wellness specialist and a private guide, along with a fleet of exclusive safari vehicles, meaning your stay is tailored precisely to your requirements.

Sleeping

Just five well-spaced contemporary suites come with breathtaking views over the vast plains of the Masai Mara far below. The luxurious suites are enormous yet cosy and welcoming, contemporary and stylish yet extremely comfortable with every aspect well thought out.  On cooler evenings, fireplaces crackle into life and the rooms take on a romantic Out of Africa ambience.

Food & Drink

Wild Hill is built on the success of its incredible rewilding project and this connection to the land is nowhere more obvious than when it comes to mealtimes. Locally sourced and homegrown where possible – meals are imaginative and restorative, bursting with flavour and help feed the soul. Fine wines are on hand and the clink of ice in a G&T at sundowners on the main deck is quintessential Africa.

What Stands Out

Wild Hill is sublimely blended wilderness safari experience with a wellness retreat which takes its cue from the encompassing views of the location – set on the highest hill in the Mara. To be so elevated feels ethereal – it is the perfect place to disconnect from the rush of modern life and to re-energise in flawless surroundings.
