Luxury Kenya & Seychelles

SIRIKOI

Surrounded by a forest of mature fever trees, Sirikoi looks out across a busy waterhole in the Lewa Conservancy in northern Kenya. The waterhole is fed directly from Mount Kenya via local springs. Enjoy watching the wealth of wildlife that frequents the waterhole and its surrounding swamp vegetation, all from the cool comfort of shaded Sirikoi.

& Facilities

Four spacious, elegantly designed tents are equipped with en-suite facilities, including a bath, shower and flushing toilet. An open fire creates a warm, cozy atmosphere on cooler evenings. A private cottage is also available at Sirikoi comprising two double bedrooms and kitchen, making it the perfect base if you are traveling with friends or family. Shared areas at the camp include a tastefully furnished lounge and huge outside dining space. Beautiful African fabrics and works of art produced by local artisans add color and character to the rooms and communal areas.

Wildlife & Activities

Sirikoi is the ideal place from which to explore the Lewa Conservancy on day and night game drives in 4x4s. You can also experience the bush from a new perspective on a guided walking safari and bush picnic. The Lewa Conservancy supports huge concentrations of black and white rhino, lion, buffalo and elephant. When you are not on game drives try horse riding, bi-plane flights, and fishing trips to Mount Kenya. If you are feeling adventurous, sleep out under the stars on a fly camping trip.
