Mugie House offers an exciting variety of activities.
Drives will be available by day and by night, with loads of wildlife to see in the Mugie conservancy! All Big Five are in residence – lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo. Other predators include cheetah, hyena, civet, genet, aardvark, aardwolf, and jackal. The herbivore count features Grevy’s and Burchell’s zebras, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, eland, impala, and dik-dik.
Also accompanied by knowledgeable and experienced guides, walks will offer opportunities to get to know the smaller lives of the conservancy, not least the birdlife. Keen birders will enjoy looking out for over 250 species of feathery friend, among them Mugie specials such as martial eagle, Denham’s bustard, and four-banded sandgrouse.
Fans of felines will love getting involved in tracking the likes of lion, leopard, and more.
Here’s another treat for trackers! Mugie Conservancy’s anti-poaching team consists of three bloodhounds, Tusker, Radi and Mlinzi, together with their handlers. A visit to headquarters will showcase the power of their keen scenting skills with a tracking demonstration.
If you like to combine time on safari with a little culture, you’ll appreciate trips into the local community to experience the Pokot and/or the Samburu tribe.
This activity will be fantastic for watersports fans, as well as anyone interested in viewing Mugie Conservancy’s aquatic species.
There’s even a golf course! This has nine holes and three sets of tees. It’ll be a lot of fun in between activities such as vehicle and walking safaris.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
Mugie House is situated in the Mugie Wildlife Conservancy, in North Laikipia, on top of a hill! The conservancy is located almost 300 kilometres from Nairobi, and it’s accessible via flight from the city’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
The communal facilities at Mugie House can be found in the main house.
Surrounded by olive trees, this is a charming timber-and-stone structure with a thatch roof. Inside, the communal lounge offers super-comfy sofas and armchairs around a central coffee table, occasional tables set with elegant lighting, bookshelves full of interesting reading material, a few intriguing artefacts, and a lovely cosy fireplace. The dining room has a fireplace too, in addition to a large table flanked by smart upright chairs, an impressive chandelier, and wide windows with views over the wildlife conservancy. Mugie also has numerous verandas, perfect for relaxing and marvelling at the scenery! The house’s grounds are beautifully kept, and they include a sparkling cliff-top swimming pool and shaded al fresco lounging and dining space, with similar views to the rooms.
Guest accommodation consists of beautiful cottages, all constructed using timber, stone, and makuti thatch.
The cottages have been individually furnished and very well appointed overall. Each has a bedroom containing a double bed or twin beds, bedside tables and lighting, some art and artefacts, and a warming fireplace for chilly nights! The en-suite facilities comprise a flush toilet, washbasin, shower, and bath. One cottage is offered as a suite and boasts its own plunge pool, perfect for honeymooners, and there is also a family cottage with an ensuite double and twin room that are interconnected by a spacious lounge area with a wide veranda and private plunge pool. Many of the cottages have Wi-Fi access, and all have spectacular views! The cottages face south-east and look out over olive forests and sprawling grasslands as far as majestic Mount Kenya beyond.
