Rooms
Scattered throughout the garden, the cottages and suites at House in the Wild offer quiet corners with river views or leafy seclusion. Natural tones, handmade furnishings and thoughtful touches make each space feel warm and lived-in. Families appreciate the two-bedroom options with room to stretch out and unwind. At night, you’ll hear the river flowing and perhaps a hippo in the distance. There’s no need for extravagance here – just a place where you can rest, breathe and truly arrive.
Culinary
Meals at House in the Wild are a relaxed, communal affair – often enjoyed outdoors, by the river or under a tree. Much of what’s served comes from the lodge’s own garden or local farms. Expect fresh, seasonal dishes that blend Kenyan roots with global inspiration. Guests are welcome to visit the kitchen, help bake bread or simply sit back and savour. Food is not just fuel here – it’s part of the experience, shared with others and made with heart.
Activities
Safaris at House in the Wild are tailored to your pace. Game drives in open vehicles, nature walks, birdwatching, tree planting, cultural visits or simply a quiet afternoon by the river – each day is yours to shape. Children can become junior rangers, exploring the bush with guides who love to share their knowledge. Excursions to nearby conservancies or into the Masai Mara can be arranged, but there’s no pressure. Just space, freedom, and time to take it all in.
Location
House in the Wild is located in the private Naretoi Conservancy, part of the larger Enonkishu Conservancy in Kenya’s Masai Mara region. It’s remote and wild – yet surprisingly accessible. Guests fly into Ngerende Airstrip, followed by a 45-minute drive through open savannah. The lodge’s location offers the best of both worlds: privacy and tranquillity, along with access to some of East Africa’s richest wildlife areas. And because the lodge works closely with local communities, you’ll experience not only nature, but also the people who live alongside it.
