Mukima House

At the foothills of Mt. Kenya, this double storey house, is set in vivid tropical flowerbeds with expansive lawns. The house has 8 ensuite bedrooms, a games room, a large kitchen with a store, laundry room, cloakroom, drawing room, dining room, a generous entrance hall and an upstairs gallery.

There is a first floor open terrace, perfect for sundowners while watching the white egrets fly home to roost on the dam against the backdrop of the mountain and the African dusk. Just as stunning on the clear mornings is the sunrise, which silhouettes the mountain in soft pink and blue. The front of the house has a large, wrap-around veranda, used for daytime dining.

The rooms are comfortably furnished with local, Lamu, and imported Indonesian pieces, which all combine well and compliment the formal aspect of the house.

There is a 4×14 metre oval swimming pool, a children’s pool, a pool house with covered eating area, bar, sauna, exercise room with massage area and a tennis court.

This accommodation is fully serviced and the food is fresh and wholesome, with local and homegrown fruit and vegetables.
