Il Ngwesi Lodge Kenya

The Lodge is the centre of safari accommodation in this location in Lakipia area.

Il Ngwesi lodge Laikipia Kenya is perfectly nestled on a rocky outcrop in an area set aside by the group ranch for wildlife conservation. Made out of local materials, it is well known for its spectacular open to the bush design with stunning views of the location from all directions.

Il Ngwesi lodge offers two communal areas, one at the top of the hill, with an infinity pool dropping away into the wilderness and a second in the front of the lodge overlooking the waterhole where wildlife is seen quenching their thirst whilst affording guests perfect scenery. Both have covered areas for escaping the heat of the day & open areas allowing guests to dine under the stars.

The accommodation comprises of six elegantly appointed cottages or bandas, where five have single and double beds. The honeymoon suite and one other offer the unique opportunity to experience a night under the stars as they have large double beds with a raised platform on which beds can be rolled out to the openness.

Visiting Il Ngwesi lodge as a group have the honour of sharing two rooms skilfully joined by a bridge. Built on a slope, the fronts of the bandas are on stilts, giving guests in all rooms unforgettable views of the vast surrounding panorama.

Staying at the Il Ngwesi lodge is truly special and magical as visitors get a real taste of the bush whilst enjoying some home comforts whilst looked after by local well organized Maasai hosts.

The more than a decade old Il Ngwesi group ranch has been driven by a vision to integrate community development and  sustainable environmental management.

The core ideal is to use environment as a means to improve the livelihood of the people through eco-friendly activities that conserve wildlife, its habitat and uphold the Maasai culture.

The drive led the masai community to set aside most of its land for conservation activities in which The IliNgwesi lodge Laikipia was set up on a rocky outcrop.

The income from the venture supports community projects that include, education, water, health infrastructure, environmental conservation and preservation of culture which are directed at achieving our mission of improving livelihoods of our community members.

Over the last decade, the number of wildlife has increased considerably compared to early 90’s when poaching had decimated almost all the wildlife in this area especially the African elephant and rhinoceros. Today, as a result of very good security, most of wildlife is viewed within the IliNgwesi lodge Laikipia Kenya.

From Ili Ngwesi lodge you can take guided walks, visit a local cultural Manyatta, go on game drives and picnics, or relax at the lodge by the swimming pool or watch animals come into the water hole.
