Tracking lions, feeding rhinos
Big Five by day, candlelit dinner by night. Curated, bespoke, balanced.
Curated. Intimate. Balanced.
Mukima has lovingly curated the ultimate 6-night safari package with hand-selected, intimate experiences on each day. The hotel sits between Mount Kenya National Park and Ol Pejeta — Kenya's prettiest safari corner, and one of the easiest to reach.
Primate & Predator Safari
An early start to track our carnivores at dawn with a research team. Big Five, elusive northern white rhinos, African wild dogs, regal Grevy's zebra — and the captivating chimpanzee sanctuary, where mischievous characters like Max add a playful charm. Home by 3:30 for afternoon tea and a soothing massage.
In Search of Giants Safari · The Rhino
Tucked in the valley between Mount Kenya and the Aberdares, Solio is one of the most successful private rhino sanctuaries in the world — over 200 black and white rhinos. Game drive, bush picnic, then an incredible orphanage where you may have the chance to feed an orphaned baby rhino.
Mount Kenya Safari
A 45-minute drive to the mountain. Tea at Old Moses camp, a two-hour hike to the viewpoint among giant lobelias, cabbage groundsels and bamboo. Scenic picnic brunch at the viewpoint; one-hour descent. Back to Mukima by 3:30 for reflexology, sauna and the crackling fire.
Waterfalls, Wild Pools & Forest
Ngare Ndare Forest, at the base of Mount Kenya. Walk with an armed ranger through lush indigenous forest. Natural blue pools, secret waterfalls (swim!), the 400-meter canopy walk through the treetops. Private lunch in a secluded spot.
Riding Wild
Riding out into the savanna with sightings of rhino, elephant, Grevy's zebra, wild dogs, cheetah, leopard, giraffe and more. Strictly experienced riders only.
Sundowners & Night Safari
The Lolldaiga Hills, named for their rugged ridges and ancient archaeological wonders. Game drive, cocktails on a magnificent viewpoint as the sun sinks, then a night safari home through the wild, looking for predators awake for the hunt.
