Laikipia family house

An exclusive-use house with a pool, a guide, and rhino on the plain.

A private house in Laikipia for one family or group, with its own guide, vehicle, pool, and staff.

The house is yours. Children can walk with a guide, ride, and swim between game drives; adults get a vehicle that moves at their pace. Laikipia adds rhino and walking to the usual list.

Why we like it

What makes Laikipia family house work

  • One family or group has the house, the staff, the guide and the vehicle to themselves.
  • Walking, riding and swimming between drives keep children busy without a schedule.
  • Laikipia's rhino and wild dog add species the Mara does not reliably offer.

Good to know

Before you decide

  • Sleeps eight to twelve across the main house and cottages; a children's guide can be added.
  • No minimum age; game drives suit children from about five.
  • Pairs well with three nights in a Mara conservancy camp or on the coast.
