Accommodation

The House in the Wild has a lounge area with a cosy fireplace, an atmospheric dining room and a verandah that looks across the expansive lawn out to the edge of the Mara River and beyond to the Kileleoni Hill.  The interiors are a stylish mix of brass lanterns, large African baskets, antique Swahili chests and tables made from reclaimed fence posts.  

Lunch is often served under a shady tree on the banks of the Mara River, or overlooking the swimming pool.  There is plenty of space to relax on the lawn, on a sun lounger by the pool or to read a book on the Lamu beds in the gazebo.  The lawn is the perfect place for those wanting a game of croquet, badminton or boules, or perhaps a game of table tennis.  There are swinging beds on the river bank, the ideal place to relax after lunch and watch the hippo wallowing nearby.
