Private safari homes
Villas built for stillness
Mara, Laikipia, Tsavo and the Coast. Exclusive-use houses where the only guests are yours.
Exclusive-use, always
House, pool, vehicles and guide reserved for your party alone.
In the middle of the game
Private conservancy land. Wildlife in the garden, plains from the veranda.
Private chef and host
Halal kitchens, your menus, an Arabic-speaking host where possible.
Guide on your clock
Open 4x4 and guide for your hours — sunrise, siesta, night drives where permitted.
By bespoke enquiry and written confirmation only. We own no property and hold no live inventory.

Houses in the Wild
Wild places. Entirely your own.
Our flagship curation of independent exclusive-use houses — Mara, Tsavo and Lamu — arranged into one seamless private journey by bespoke enquiry only.
Reference — Collection in the Wild
From your house, into the wild
Wildlife at the window, no crowd in the frame
A private safari home means the day starts on your veranda. When you are ready, your own open vehicle and guide take you straight into the herds — no lodge lobby, no shared drive, no waiting for strangers.
Private vehicle, no strangers
One household, one guide, one vehicle. No shared game drives and no fixed departure times — you go when the light is right.
Photography handled properly
Camera supports, beanbags and long-lens hire arranged in advance, with a guide who positions the vehicle for the frame, not the crowd.
Ride among the plains game
Where conservancies permit, you ride among zebra, giraffe and eland — an approach no vehicle can match, at a pace matched to your riding.
Wildlife is wild. Sightings are never promised; everything operational is confirmed in writing before you travel.
Why a private house
Wilderness in, world out
In the middle of the safari, not on its edge. Exclusive-use houses, private guiding, one team from the Gulf to the airstrip.
Homes, not hotel rooms
Villas and private camps with verandas, fire pits, pools and views — all yours.
Wildlife, not crowds
Your own vehicle and guide. Stop where the herds are; no other car in the frame.
End-to-end VIP logistics
Gulf departure, meet-and-assist, charters, drivers, luggage — one designer throughout.
Built for Gulf travel
Arabic-speaking hosts, halal kitchens, prayer timings, family privacy, WhatsApp concierge.
Flagship

Shape the outline in a minute
Three questions. Your answers travel to the enquiry form — nothing is booked.
No availability is checked and no payment is taken.
Touchdown to farewell
The part you never notice
Meet-and-assist, private drivers, internal flights, luggage, dietary and access needs carried to every camp.
For travellers from the Gulf
Planned around how the Gulf travels
Most of our households arrive from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Kuwait and Manama. The journey is written around that departure, that calendar and that idea of privacy.
Arabic-speaking hosts
An Arabic-speaking designer from first message to farewell, and Arabic-speaking assistance on the ground wherever the itinerary allows.
Halal dining and majlis evenings
Halal kitchens arranged in advance, Arabic coffee and dates on arrival, and long private dinners set for your hours rather than a fixed sitting.
Prayer, privacy and quiet
Prayer space, direction and timings arranged at every camp and house, with exclusive-use stays where the party would rather not share a lounge.
Family and ladies-only riding
Rides can be arranged for the family alone, or for the ladies of the party with a female ride leader, subject to assessment and horse availability.
Connections from Gulf hubs
Overnight connections through Gulf hubs into Nairobi, airport meet-and-assist, and onward private charter coordination where operationally available.
Concierge on Gulf hours
One team on WhatsApp through your evening, not ours, and a written outline in Arabic or English — whichever you prefer to read.
Every arrangement above is confirmed in writing before the journey, and nothing here is booked, priced or held online.
Responsibly ridden
Horses and wild places first
Riding near wildlife is guide-led and permission-based. Routes and pace change for the horses, the riders and the land.
- Rider assessment before the first ride, every time
- Daily limits on distance, heat and pace
- No approach a ride leader judges unsafe
- Community land used on that community's terms
