Overview

House in the Wild is a family owned and operated boutique lodge, perched on the banks of the Mara River on Naretoi - a private estate within the Enonkishu Conservancy, on the Northern edge of the Maasai Mara ecosystem.

On what was once an intensive farm, Naretoi is the first project of its kind where the land use on the edge of the Mara has reverted from intensive commercial farming back to nature. This “rewilding” project has seen the rangelands around the House in the Wild return to their natural state, with wildlife returning to the area after over a decade of farming.

Small in size with a maximum of 16 guests accommodated in six cottages, House in the Wild allows you to surround yourself with the rich traditions of East African life and share a sense of well-being and calm, hosted by a welcoming team to look after your every need, whilst having direct access to some of the world’s best wildlife viewing.

Guests can get off the beaten track and experience the ultimate exclusive and private safari alongside a meaningful and life changing journey while learning about the Enonkishu community building their livelihoods in harmony with the wildlife of the Enonkishu Conservancy.

 
 
The little details and the finishing touches all tell the story. Nature is incredibly resilient if given a chance and I think that this place provides an exciting story of hope and inspiration.
