Sirai House Laikipia
A private home in the Borana Conservancy in the Laikipia region of Kenya, located at the foot of snow-capped Mount Kenya, Sirai House sits in a secluded 250-acre estate, high on a ridge with spectacular views in all directions, surrounded by indigenous forests and game-rich Kenyan hills and plains.

With Sirai’s almost perfect weather, clear skies, a bright sun and a cool breeze, you will be able to enjoy its grounds at any time of day and find many diversions for everyone in your party.
At the end of the warm day, when the sun sets and the air cools, the stars shine down on Sirai. Sated from dinner, with the day’s wonders still placing a smile on your lips, it is time to retire to one of the six sumptuous bedroom suites. The staff will light your way along the path to your room where you will find a log fire crackling and a hot water bottle tucked between crisp linen. Each cottage stands apart for privacy and seclusion, creating a personal space to retreat yet always in contact with the main house by phone for anything you require.
The master suite - As befitting the principal bedroom suite, this room is unrivalled for space and comfort. Next to the bedroom and sitting area is a large dressing room. Beyond a glass wall of retractable doors, a private terrace and infinity pool leads the eye out across the plains of Kenya that lay below Sirai. The magnificent vista sweeps the life of the African bush into the room as you recline on the bed or laze in the opulent marble tub.
Suite 2 - This elegant suite is only a short distance from the terrace of the main house. The warmth of the furs and fabrics are stunningly offset by tranquil tones of stone and sky. The bedroom, sitting area and sumptuous bathroom are all connected whilst a private terrace leads to an outdoor rain shower with unparalleled views.
Suite 3 & 4 - Providing yet another solution to how you use the limitless space of Sirai, these two suites join onto a large shared drawing room. Invite friends and family around for cocktails, snacks or play cards while our staff bring along drinks or snacks for you. These suites can be a wonderful private retreat to lounge, read, work or simply sit out on the veranda and drink in the sweeping views of Borana. Each suite is perfectly contained within itself with fires, bathrooms, verandas and outdoor showers.
Suite 5 & 6 - Like suites 3 & 4, these rooms have the added advantage of a shared drawing room between them and all the versatility and seclusion that brings. Furthest from the main house these suites are a magical hideaway, set amongst the tree-tops with a private wooden walkway down to a secret viewing platform. The bold, Kenyan design of these rooms, with Thanje reed roong and granite or solid wooden bath tubs, harmonises beautifully with the exterior majesty of Nature.
Dining at Sirai is always a pleasure, no matter what meal or time of day! Nearly all the fruit and vegetables used in their kitchens are grown in the wonderful shamba, the Kenyan cousin of the English cottage vegetable garden. Eggs and poultry are from their own chickens, beef is from the Borana cattle herds. Even the honey is from their own bees.
When all this delicious produce reaches the kitchens it is welcomed into the arms of head chef – George – whose knowledge and enthusiasm are evident on every plate. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free are all happily catered for with a passion to give you the very best food we can, no matter what your dietary requirements.
This is a beautiful private home for a family or group of friends to explore the many wonders Kenya has to offer.
