House In The Wild

House in the Wild is a private lodge on the banks of the Mara River, run by the delightful Wood family. It’s a little more boutique than bushcamp, with polished interiors, proper beds and wide decks that overlook the water. You’ll likely spot elephants or hippos from your room, and meals are communal and homely. It’s romantic, low-key and effortlessly welcoming – one of those places people end up extending.

Located on a private estate within the Enonkishu Conservancy, on the Northern edge of the Maasai Mara ecosystem
