Sieku Glamping

20 Guests, 5 Bedrooms, 5 Beds, 5 Bathrooms

Sieku is about glamorous camping, or “glamping”, in Kenya. They combine the wholesome, back-to-earth feeling of camping with high-quality, well thought-out and special touches that you might expect to find in an upmarket safari lodge.  They prioritise simple luxuries; unique accommodation and comfortable, rustic living, and offer a proper middle ground alternative to mainstream accommodation options in Kenya.

Sieku Glamping is set on a 33 acre, family-owned and family-managed piece of land in the bottom south- east corner of Laikipia county in Kenya. They are named after the nearby seasonal Sieku river that flows into the large dam below the camp and makes up a central piece of the dramatic scenery that we are blessed with.

It is situated high on an equatorial bluff with fine views of Mount Kenya to the south, Borana and Lewa conservancies, the Lolldaiga hills and the Matthew mountains, sacred Mount Ololokwe and the Mukogodo forest to the north.They are well located for good walking, mountain biking, high altitude training, game viewing, natural swimming, breathtaking picnic and sundowner spots – as well as many other activities. They are close to the Lewa marathon, 10 to 4 mountain bike race and other very special places in northern Kenya.

With only five tents, and two primary living spaces, Sieku Glamping is purposefully small and personal. They can sleep a maximum of 20 guests and are perfect for families and exclusive, intimate gatherings. Each spacious, canvas bell-tent and tipi – which is imported from the UK – is romantically furnished with double beds and feather duvets, luxury mats and carpets, bespoke furniture and freshly cut flowers.  Each tent has a beautiful, shaded porch with deck chairs, sofas and day pillows, as well as burners that allow you to enjoy the enormous night skies in full privacy and warmth by your own tent and living area.

They provide three accommodation packages: full-board; hire-in chefs and self-catering.  Sieku Glamping is staffed and their excellent team are on hand to do everything for you so that all you have to do is relax and enjoy your stay.

Sieku Glamping is situated around 3.5 hours drive from Nairobi and 35 minutes from Nanyuki town. Thay are right on the equator and at an altitude of 2250m above sea level.  The days are warm and the nights cool.  They do not have mosquitoes and are not in a malarial zone.

The wildlife around Sieku Glamping is rich and varied. Nearby are the Big 5, and often elephant, buffalo, giraffe and other plain game can be seen from the camp . Cheetahs have recently been seen on the drive into Sieku Glamping and lions can often be heard moaning on the plains below at night. The bird life is also numerous – with several birds of prey and many other species.
