SIRAI HOUSE BORONA C ONSE RVA NC Y K E N YA
Make yourself
at home
If ever you dreamed of living ‘on a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills’, Sirai is that – just better. Picture being instead at the foot of towering, snow-capped Mount Kenya, on a secluded estate and surrounded by 100 hectares of idyllic hills and plains and indigenous forest. The owners searched for years to find the ideal location to settle and this was it, in the Borana Conservancy of gamerich Laikipia. Spacious and deeply gracious, Sirai House is all you could ever imagine a Kenyan wild country experience to be. Set on a ridge, the six exquisite suites all stand apart for optimal personal space and privacy. Sirai House comfortably sleeps 12 guests, who are secluded while in their suites but always connected by phone to the main house. There’s a pool house, along with a 20-metre infinity pool and a gym – plus a spa retreat to enjoy all-inclusive therapies along with the infrared sauna and Jacuzzi. A watering hole for wildlife is right there so animals regularly pass by, and there’s a game hide to see wildlife up close..
