Nestled amidst the ancient forest on the foothills of Mount Kenya, Mukima Manor introduces its newest gem: The Forest Den. This extraordinary tiny home offers an unparalleled escape into nature, where luxury meets wilderness in perfect harmony.
The Mukima ethos
As a cornerstone of Mukima Manor's commitment to sustainability, The Forest Den is entirely off-grid, reflecting our family's dedication to nourishing both people and planet. Every booking goes directly back into preserving the 300-acre nature sanctuary, ensuring that guests can immerse themselves in a world of untouched beauty while knowing their holiday is making a positive impact.
The Forest Den experience
Imagine waking up to birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves. The Forest Den is a sanctuary of comfort and adventure. It offers all the essentials for a self-sufficient stay — kitchen, living room, bedroom, shower — but it's the little extras that elevate the experience.
Unwind in the exquisite copper bathtub on the veranda, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the forest. As night falls, the world transforms. The natural canopy above reveals a celestial spectacle, with countless stars dotting the inky sky. From your perfect terrace, watch the dance of constellations and feel a profound sense of awe and tranquility.
Adventure at your doorstep
Step out and embrace the wild. Hike through pristine trails, encounter unique flora and fauna, or take a tranquil walk through the rewilded landscape. The forest is alive with possibilities, from spotting elusive wildlife to discovering hidden waterfalls. For those seeking deeper connection, our team can curate bespoke experiences — from guided nature walks to bird-watching tours, ensuring every guest feels intimately connected to the surroundings.
Designed for two
The Forest Den is built for couples or solo travellers seeking quiet. A double bed on the ground floor, a hammock veranda, a free-standing copper bathtub outside in the trees, and a rooftop terrace with a long view of Mount Kenya. Full board at the Manor is available on request — or self-cater in the small kitchenette and disappear entirely.
A holiday that gives back
Every stay at The Forest Den is a contribution to the broader mission of Mukima Manor: to preserve and nourish the natural world. Choosing to stay with us means becoming part of a larger story — one of conservation, community, and respect for the land.
