Our view

"An exceptionally stylish private safari house found in Kenya’s wilds, Arijiju is a low-profile, grass-topped structure that blends seamlessly into the surrounding plateau of the Borana Conservancy of Laikipia, with views to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya. With a full team of attentive staff, Arijiju is so much more than a safari lodge, it is an entirely bespoke and private experience, tailored just to you."

The Villa Experience

Coming to Arijiju is a very special experience that won’t easily be forgotten. Firstly, its stylish, earthy design – traditional Kenyan meets modern architecture – sets it apart from other safari lodges, but it’s really the staff that make Arijiju what it is. Their unending dedication to making your stay the best it can be seemingly knows no bounds.

Daily activities in the wilds with your own rangers and trackers include heli-drops, bush walks, horse riding and 4×4 game drives. Have close encounters with rare wildlife, swim in waterfalls, fly-fish the lakes of Mount Kenya or discover hidden sand dunes – at Arijiju, adventure is always close by. Come home for a game of tennis or squash, a massage or a scrub in the hammam followed by a cold plunge pool and hot tub. Savour dinner under the stars, revelling in your good fortune to experience this extraordinary African abode.
