Il’ngwesi Eco-lodge
Owned and run by the Maasai community, Il Ngwesi offers something truly special. Visitors to the lodge have full wildlife and cultural experience, enjoying hospitality more akin that offered to a valued family member. With no other tourist facilities within the Group Ranch, it is the ultimate personal experience.
Constructed entirely out of local materials, the award-winning Il Ngwesi Lodge is perched on the edge of the Mararoi hills close to the Ngare Ndare river in Laikipia in Kenya, with breathtaking views towards Samburu as far as the eye can see.
Their infinity swimming pool overlooks the valley and provides an excellent spot to relax in during the day; a favourable spot to cool off while watching the elephants below!
