Possibly the most beautiful safari house in Africa

Inspired by Ethiopian monasteries, this exceptional Luxury safari lodge in Africa is hewn into the landscape and leaves a very subtle footprint on the view of Mount Kenya. Arijiju, suggested to be the most beautiful house in Africa by Peter Browne in Condé Nast, has five bedrooms and can only be rented exclusively.

Built on the Borana conservancy in Laikipia, the land is teeming with wildlife, including Africa’s Big Five, wild dogs, and cheetahs.

Safari and wellness retreat

Arijiju is not just a luxury safari lodge in Africa but a wellness retreat too. Home-grown produce and fresh daily juice blends lend to the healthy lifestyle Arijiju supports.

There is a 25-meter (82-foot) infinity lap pool, running trails through the bush, a spa, Hammam, a fully equipped gym, a yoga deck, a clay tennis court, and a squash court, all inconspicuously blending into the valley, and the highly skilled masseuse and beauty therapist is available at no extra cost.
