LUXURIOUS, FAMILY-OWNED ECO-LODGE
Get off the beaten track at this family-owned-and-operated lodge on the banks of the Mara River.
The aptly-named House in the Wild is tucked away on a 1,000-acre private estate within the Enonkishu Conservancy, just outside the Masai Mara.
Hosted by the Wood family and their friendly team of local staff, you’ll be able to fill your days with a plethora of activities ranging from nature walks and game drives to fishing in the Mara River, scenic sundowners and visits to local Maasai villages. The entire property is completely fenced, and therefore safe for walking, running, biking and horse riding.
At its heart, the lodge is a model of regenerative eco-tourism, dedicated to restoring wildlife habitats and improving the lives of the people living in the area. Guests are also afforded an insight into day-to-day life on a traditional Kenyan cattle farm, from milking the cows to beekeeping and tree planting. The main house and six cottages are nestled amid the beautiful grounds, alongside a large curved swimming pool with a thatch gazebo and bar. Of the cottages, two are family suites with ensuite bathrooms, a dining area and lounge. Interiors are light and comfortable throughout, with lovely river views.

The service we received from 91³Ô¹Ï was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
