Mugie House

Laikipia, Kenya

About Mugie House

Mugie House stands as a pinnacle of refined, contemporary safari living on the expansive Laikipia Plateau. Perched overlooking the rolling Laikipia plains towards the distant snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya, the lodge is built from local stone and cedar, exuding a sense of place and permanence. The conservancy is a conservation success story, focusing on the protection of endangered species like the Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe. Activities here are diverse, ranging from classic game drives and night drives to unique opportunities like camel treks and visiting the local anti-poaching units. The lodge offers a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere where guests can enjoy farm-to-table dining and exceptional stargazing, all within one of the most ecologically diverse and private regions of the Kenyan highlands.
