Il Ngwesi Eco-Lodge

Laikipia, Kenya

About Il Ngwesi Eco-Lodge

IL Ngwesi eco Lodge is adjacent to Ngarendare river commanding panoramic views across Northern Kenya. The community-run lodge looks out over the vast landscape of Kenya's Northern Frontier District – over unspoiled land where not a single light shines out and only the chorus of African bush is heard both day and night
IL Ngwesi set the pace for Laikipia’s ecotourism and has become a role model for upcoming community eco-lodges in East Africa. This small piece of paradise, perched between peak and plain, possesses a magic which cannot fail to touch anyone who is lucky enough to experience it.
Constructed from local material the award winning Lodge can accommodate up to seventeen people in six thatched, open-plan cottages, with adjoining open air showers, positioned to ensure both fantastic views and privacy. Two of the rooms have an extended deck where beds are rolled out for a night under African stars. It has a large sitting area, a striking swimming pool with an ideal lunch venue, overlooking the waterhole.
The open bush Bandas offers unforgettable views of the vast surrounding landscape and comfort, while relaxing at the horizon pool lets guests watch wildlife come to drink at the watering hole.
