Lolldaiga House – A Timeless Safari Home in the Heart of Laikipia

As dawn breaks over the rolling Lolldaiga Hills, the air shimmers with the scent of wild sage and the calls of hornbills echo through the valleys. Below, elephants move silently through the golden grass while Mount Kenya glows pink in the distance. In this still, magical hour, Lolldaiga House stirs gently to life — a home that feels as if it has always belonged here.

Perched high on a ridge overlooking the vast Lolldaiga Conservancy, this elegant retreat is where adventure and tranquility meet. Whether you’ve come as a family seeking connection, a group of friends craving the wilderness, or a traveller in search of peace and beauty, Lolldaiga House welcomes you with warmth, exclusivity, and grace.

The Soul of Lolldaiga House

Built in 2016 in the style of Kenya’s early settler homesteads, Lolldaiga House combines old-world charm with refined contemporary luxury. Wide verandahs frame panoramic views that stretch across Laikipia’s dramatic landscape, while interiors blend stone, wood, and natural textures to create a feeling of rustic sophistication.

Each of the six ensuite bedrooms opens onto private terraces where you can watch the sunrise over Mount Kenya or listen to the sounds of the African night. Every detail — from the soft furnishings to the hand-carved furniture — evokes a sense of comfort and authenticity that feels both homely and indulgent.

Here, you’re not just a guest — you’re the host of your own wilderness home. The discreet and attentive staff ensure everything runs seamlessly, while allowing you the freedom to settle into your own rhythm of safari life.

Accommodation

A Wilderness of Untamed Beauty

Lolldaiga House lies within the Lolldaiga Conservancy, a 50,000-acre private wildlife reserve just north of Nanyuki. This little-known gem is one of Laikipia’s most exclusive conservation areas, home to elephants, buffalo, leopard, wild dogs, and over 400 bird species.

The landscape is breathtaking — undulating hills, cedar forests, grassy valleys, and ancient rock formations shaped by time and wind. It’s a sanctuary for both wildlife and people seeking space to breathe.

Unlike crowded safari destinations, Lolldaiga offers total privacy. You’ll rarely see another vehicle as you explore, allowing for an intimate, authentic safari experience where nature unfolds at its own pace.

Experiences – Wild Days, Gentle Rhythms

Every day at Lolldaiga House is yours to shape.

Game Drives – Venture out at dawn or dusk to witness Laikipia’s wildlife at its most active, guided by expert trackers who know the land like their own backyard.
Guided Bush Walks – Explore on foot and discover the smaller wonders — tracks, plants, birds, and ancient rock art hidden in the hills.
Sundowners & Picnics – Pause under a shady acacia for a picnic lunch or toast the sunset from a ridge overlooking the plains.
Family Moments – Watch the children discover the wild for the first time, collect feathers and stories, and fall asleep to the sound of crickets and wind through the grass.
Quiet Days at the House – Lounge by the pool, read on the verandah, or enjoy a massage while the landscape stretches endlessly before you.

Lolldaiga House is not a place to rush. It’s a place to slow down, to reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, with yourself.

When to Visit

Lolldaiga enjoys mild, pleasant weather year-round due to its altitude between 1,700–2,300 metres. Mornings and evenings can be cool, so pack a warm layer, but expect sunny days ideal for game drives and walks.

Each season brings its own magic — the green months alive with wildflowers and newborn animals, and the dry season offering open vistas and spectacular wildlife sightings.

At Lolldaiga House, luxury is measured not in marble or gold but in freedom — the space to explore, to breathe, and to be. It’s the laughter of family echoing across the hills, the hush of elephants moving below your verandah, the warmth of a fire shared with friends under a thousand stars.
