This journey begins with a scenic drive through the beautiful Great Rift Valley to Loldia House, situated on the shores of Lake Naivasha, with views across to Mount Longonot.

Rhino's, both black and white, as well as leopard can also be sighted during your game drives. Other activities include boat trips on Lake Naivasha, Hells Gate National Park and Eburu Forest Reserve.

From Loldia House, youll travel to Mugie Conservancy by air with Governors' Aviation.

A large main house with open log fires will host guests for relaxing cocktails and scrumptious meals, prepared from a creative menu with ingredients sourced from Mugie House's own vegetable garden. Vast acacia-dotted savannahs, olive forests and scrubby bush are a haven to a multitude of wildlife, including key endemic northern Kenyan species such as Grevy's Zebra, Jackson's Hartebeest and Reticulated Giraffe.

Mugie Conservancy is at the forefront of conservation, operating as a low-impact cattle ranch alongside preserving the delicate and productive eco-systems that host abundant wildlife. Mugie supports cheetah and wild dog research with the Cheetah and Wild Dog Project, and lion research through collaring and monitoring with Lion Landscapes. Cutting edge community grazing programs and community empowerment projects through micro-economic assistance have encouraged engagement and investment from the local community in the conservation goals of Mugie.
