Coming to Hippo Point is all about slow-safari and letting go in what we best describe as a hybrid of a private wildlife sanctuary and a wild wellness health retreat. Once carried by the sounds of over 500 species of birds and 1100 animals roaming the grounds you will hopefully let go of your busy life and go with the flow as nature intended.

You can choose from any of the luxurious rooms between Hippo Point Manor and Dodo’s tower – both safe and luxurious spaces for your mind, body & spirit. Here we want you to let go and have fun; catch up with yourself, enjoy family & friends and reboot in nature. Fall asleep under Russian linen sheets, smothered by the stars of Africa, soothed by the sounds of Hyena and Hippo calling in the night. Wake up early and breath in the cool spring air of altitude (6,200 feet), walk among the game and birdlife along the lake shore, do yoga at sunrise, swim, jog with the Zebra, bike, meditate, read or simply enjoy breakfast in bed. Start your day with fresh organic juice and homemade muesli or a horse ride followed by fresh farm eggs – here, you can do what you like when you like – and if you’re more than six – you get the whole place to yourselves.

During the mid-morning when the high altitude sun warms you still have a whole day ahead of you – you can be active or lazy, you can enjoy delightful treatments in our lakeside gazebo or in the open air with Zebra, Giraffe and Colobus monkeys looking on with envy. You can read and write in the top of the Tower or ski on the lake with Hippos judging your style- all good build up to a delicious poolside lunch of fresh organic greens, juices and the occasional homemade ginger ice cream if you’re lucky!

As late afternoon magic hour dawns yellow fever trees golden, Zebra, Buffalo, Giraffe and Warthogs take on a magical quality as they go about their business undisturbed. It is a dreamy moment to let go of the fast world we live in and breathe in the natural world, reminding us of our natural balance. Watch the sunset to healthy treats and drinks from a hilltop and then enjoy a solar powered bath and a cozy fire before a silver service dinner and a hot water bottle in bed.

We pride ourselves on providing you with a safe, discrete, healthy and secluded luxury African experience from the sanctuary of our home built on a genuine love of nature and a culture of sharing our Africa. Once you find your balance we can send you off to explore other places in Kenya we hold dear to our hearts.

Hippo Point is a rare luxury not to be missed.
