The Eco-Lodges
The eco-lodges of Laikipia are situated adjacent to the Ngare
Ndare River on the edge of the Mukogodo Hills and further along
on the northern end of the Mukogodo Forest, where both boast commanding
panoramic views across Northern Kenya.
A third eco-lodge is in
the process of being constructed on Kijabe Group Ranch and will
be completed by 2004.
The Eco-lodges are constructed with materials
from the local area and each comprises six individual `bandas’ (cottages),
which all have adjoining showers. They are thatched, open plan and
on high supports to fully ensure both fantastic views and privacy.
Groups of up to 40 can easily be accommodated.
Each eco-lodge has
two large sitting areas and a strikingly designed swimming pool that
appears to overflow into the wilderness below.Water comes from a
spring and then is gravity fed to the lodge. Water heating and electricity
are powered by solar systems.
With Rift Valley Adventures, visitors
to the eco-lodges are spoilt with a variety of things to do, please
our activity page for a full list. In addition to visiting the Cultural
Boma, there is the option of exploring the area by foot, or by camel,
following the Ngare Ndare River with local guides, which offers a
special opportunity to get close to the wildlife.
Another very popular
attraction is the hand reared orphan black rhino, Omni and his two
white rhino friends. Omni is the first black rhino to come back to
the area in 30 years and with his two keepers is now a daily sight
for visitors.
