At Mugie Conservancy, a private nature reserve in Laikipia, Governors' Mugie House welcomes you with individual stone houses on a hill, each offering sweeping views of the Laikipia highlands or lush gardens. An infinity pool promises refreshment, while numerous wild animals visit the waterhole right in front of the complex. A spa room and a 9-hole golf course are also at your disposal, but the game drives, where you can see zebras, elephants, and big cats, are the real highlight. With a little luck, you may even encounter the trusting orphan giraffe Tala, who was raised in the nature reserve.
Exciting game drives by day and night take you through the reserve in search of zebras, giraffes, elephants, antelopes, and big cats—or you can take up a hidden spot near the waterhole to photograph thirsty visitors. The calm waters of Mugie Dam are perfect for kayaking, the nearby 9-hole golf course is ideal for a quick game, and a gorgeous infinity pool with adjoining spa room ensures relaxation. The absolute highlight is an encounter with Tala, the orphaned giraffe who was raised in the Mugie Wildlife Sanctuary and has been visiting Mugie House ever since.
Mugie House can accommodate a total of 18 guests in charming stone cottages. With solid four-poster beds, crackling fireplaces, African artwork, freestanding copper bathtubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows, the accommodations promise exceptional luxury. Except for the garden cottage, all accommodations overlook the spectacular highlands of Laikipia. The romantic honeymoon suite and the two-bedroom family cottage also offer a private pool with fantastic views of the bushland.
The creative menu at Mugie House offers delicious dishes prepared with ingredients from the property's own vegetable garden. Surrounded by the unique tranquility of nature, every meal becomes a special experience; choose to dine in the main house, by the pool, or outdoors. Half-day or full-day game drives include picnics and packed lunches; unforgettable bush meals can be arranged on request at scenic locations within the nature reserve.
