Mukima House is a thirties settler mansion constructed on a grand scale, which has recently been beautifully reclaimed and luxuriously refurbished. It is situated in the heart of prime safari country with spectacular views of Mount Kenya and surrounded by 360 acres of private woods, dam and grassland.
The house has 8 large en suite bedrooms, a dining room that can seat 16, a large reception area and two smaller ones, wood-burning fireplaces and generous verandahs. There is a swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, croquet lawn, a safari vehicle with a guide and boats on the dam. The Mukima kitchen produces fresh farmhouse food using home grown vegetables and free range eggs. The wonderful bird life and a growing menagerie of bush animals complete the scene.
Mukima is a luxury, private retreat, perfectly placed for Africa aficionados to enjoy for a fortnight or longer, where guests can take excursions of their own design in their own time. Helicopter trips up Mount Kenya and horse riding expeditions are amongst the most popular. The house also offers a perfect setting for parties and conferences, all of which we are happy to organize.
The house has a resident manager, Philip Shaw, and comes fully staffed. |
