Hewn into a rocky hillside on the Lewa Borana Conservancy in Kenya, Arijiju is an enchanting private house available for exclusive hire for groups of up to ten. Designed by a combination of leading architects and interior designers, this magical home opened in November 2016 and offers world-class wildlife, outdoor adventure and wellness facilities in one of Kenya’s most staggering landscapes, alongside a pioneering approach to conservation.
Taking its name from the Maasai word for the hill on which it sits, Arijijuis an exemplum of design brilliance where every aspect of its natural surroundings has been carefully considered. Arijiju’s position was chosen predominantly based around the region’s three most impressive views: the sunrise, sunset and Mount Kenya. A fourth and utterly unique influence also came from the acoustics of the valley, which has been incorporated to maximise the sound of the dawn chorus of birds singing.
From the outside, flat roofs planted with natural grasses, roughhewn local stone and timber see it all but disappear into the untamed landscape, whilst inside five expansive bedrooms, a cinema, library, living area and cavernous dining room offer state-of-the-art luxuries complemented by an earthy colour scheme, locally sourced materials and copper accents.

Arijiju is home to five exquisite suites, three flanking the central courtyard and a further two nestled in the olive groves that surround. Each feature the same earthy colour scheme and effortless touches characteristic of leading interior designer Maira Koutoudakis, whilst a sixth ‘constellation suite’ is available for those nights too beautiful to sleep anywhere but under the stars. Elsewhere, a cavernous dining room, games room, cinema and well-equipped library are available for cooler nights, and with a team of 20 resident staff - that range from guides and rangers to butlers and chefs - Arijiju ensures every need is catered for.
Arijiju’s head gardener is fully trained in permaculture, and the organic garden provides healthy farm to fork menus with energy rich, quality ingredients that regenerate and renew a sense of wellbeing. Breakfast consists of homemade muesli, seasonal smoothies and fresh eggs from Arijiju’s very own chickens served on the sun drenched front terrace, whilst for lunch and dinner the head chef will create sharing style dishes including North African inspired salads and farm reared meats, served out in the bush, in the garden or up on the roof terrace.

Arijiju is located in the Borana Conservancy in the county named Laikipia or “tree-less plains” in Maa, the language of the Maasai. Laikipia rolls north from the edge of the snow-licked glaciers of Mount Kenya, crosses the equator and ranges up towards the semi-desert plains of the north. The region has more mammals than anywhere else in East Africa, incredible bird diversity and some of this country’s largest elephant populations with huge multi-generational herds - it is also the last stronghold of Kenya’s endangered black rhino.
60 min flight to Lewa followed by 1.5hr drive to the camp.
35 min private charter to Borana airstrip followed by 25-minute drive to the camp, with game viewing en route.
