SIRIKOI CAMP
Sirikoi Camp is a spectacular lodge situated on its own private estate in the centre of the world reknowned Lewa Wildlife Conservancy on the northern slopes of Mount Kenya. Surrounded by an acacia grove and overlooking a natural waterhole fed from a mountain spring Sirikoi offers some of the best big five game viewing in East Africa. Evening sundowners with incredible views of distant mountain ranges; delicious meals served under the stars next to a roaring fire and the sounds of animals in camp late at night are just a small part of this magical experience. A wide range of activities are offered such as helicopter trips, lion tracking, horseback riding at nearby Lewa Wilderness Camp, and visits to a local Maasai homestead.
Sirikoi Camp has four luxury tented rooms, each of these spacious rooms has views of the waterhole from the veranda, a living area with a fireplace and an elegant bathroom with a Victorian bath and a shower. Two additional new luxury tents have recently been built and also have great views of the waterhole and surrounding bush. The waterhole located in front of the camp makes for superb game viewing right on your doorstep. Sirikoi has an elegant thatched dining area with open log fires and a large deck area with a superb outlook. A beautifully designed 18m pool is the perfect spot to watch game and birdlife. A secluded two bedroom house, made from wood, thatch and stone and with a large deck area is situated in a private corner of the camp near the wetlands where elephant and buffalo are regular visitors. The lodge also has a 20ft hide, which is a great spot for viewing the diverse landscape, having sundowners and stargazing. A further family house suitable for six guests was under construction and due to be completed in Mid 2010 when we last visited.
We believe that Sirikoi Camp is a top end safari camp which really delivers, with outstanding game viewing and a wide range of interesting safari activities all enjoyed in a very comfortable safari camp where most of the delicious home made food is organic and grown in the lodges own gardens.
Sirikoi Camp combines very well in a safari circuit with Richards Camp in the Maasai Mara and a few days on the beach at lovely Manda Bay
