Overview of Governors’ Mugie House

Kenya, Laikipia

Sitting on the rim of the Great Rift Valley, Laikipia is home to thriving private reserves, top-tier luxury accommodation, healthy populations of big game and awe-inspiring views sure to take your breath away.

Set on the private Mugie Conservancy, Governors' Mugie House is a 5-star home away from home nestled in a prime and unique location. The charming stone cottages sit on a hill overlooking the rolling Laikipia plains and exude a warm, inviting air that feels as familiar and comfortable as your own place. It's the ideal base from which to explore the vast landscape and encounter the abundant wildlife roaming the area.

Mugie House offers an exceptional African safari experience. No two days are the same and there is a variety of exciting activities to keep you entertained. Day and night drives take you through the conservancy in search of big game, time spent in the hide provides the opportunity to photograph visitors to the watering hole, while the Mugie Dam is the perfect spot to do some kayaking. Best of all, you can interact with Tala, Mugie House's resident giraffe.

    Governors Mugie House was so impressive – it was beautiful and such a delight between camps. I cannot thank you enough for the recommendation (and again the order of the camps was so perfect) it made for the most wonderful trip. Laikipia is beautiful – the scenery and property left us a bit speechless with how incredible the accommodations were and the staff there left us in tears and keeping in touch as we left. Their care and dedication to every moment was spot on. Our guide, Solomon, was so passionate, amazing and knowledgeable that it was as if we were seeing the world through his eyes and we were changed forever for the better thanks to the time with him. We have never felt so special as we did there and the animals and landscape are so beautiful – I am just without words. Everyone should stay there once in a lifetime – it is that special! Thank you.
