Layout
A dozen stunning villas on stilts rise above the savannah, surrounded by lush botanical gardens and elegant pools. The owners' remarkable art collection, scattered throughout the estate, enhances the setting further.
Makuti thatched roofs, ethnic objects, teak furniture, fine linens... The suites are decorated in a contemporary style, drawing on colonial-era codes and an ethnic aesthetic updated for today.
The spirit here favours a chic safari experience in harmony with the environment, with a genuine commitment to rainwater management, solar energy, and local, organic produce.
At the table, whether at breakfast at the Paddock House under the gaze of Mount Kenya, during a picnic in the bush, or beneath a canopy of stars, your palate is in for a journey. It's equally pleasant to be served in the privacy of your own villa, as a family or à deux — not to mention the excellent selection of South African wines!
For a perfectly relaxing stay, comfortable sun loungers and cosy daybeds line the pool decks. Communal spaces also include a library, a beautifully stocked bar, as well as a spa and gym.
For your children
Segera Retreat offers a family safari experience, including numerous activities that make it an ideal safari suited to all ages.
Introductions to the environment and local culture are provided through engaging activities:
. educational safaris focused on wildlife conservation,
. crafting local items such as bows, arrows or beaded ornaments inspired by Samburu, Turkana or Boran traditions,
. workshops on the importance of water,
. traditional sporting activities (jumping, racing, etc.),
. culinary adventures with the chef...
The curiosity and thirst for learning of the youngest guests are sure to be quickly satisfied!
Rooms
Each villa includes a private terrace with a jacuzzi, for a moment of absolute wellbeing overlooking the surrounding scenery.
The 5 Garden Villas are split into 4 double units and one family variant. The pool reserved for their use is beautifully laid out with its own pool house. Each guest benefits from a personalised butler service to arrange meals and activities.
The Farm House, the original homestead of the former ranch, has a lovely master suite and 2 double rooms, complemented by a small single room. A vast lounge, a private pool and sweeping views of Mount Kenya are the highlights of this villa.
The Garden House opens onto another world. Two floors, huge bay windows and glass doors, a balcony overlooking the private pool... The two bedrooms and lounge offer striking volumes, and the outdoor areas hold a few surprises, such as a bathtub carved into the rock, and a bed for sleeping under the stars!
The Green House is filled with light like a vast tropical greenhouse, home to succulents and emerald-green foliage. Beneath the glass roof, two bedrooms and a large living area comfortably accommodate guests. The copper tones of sunrise delight guests each morning...
Overlooking the Sugeroi River, Villa Segera is arranged across two separate buildings linked by a suspended walkway. The two suites share a private pool, an elegant open-air dining area and a lounge filled with flowers. Outside, beneath a pergola shaded with vines, a long table allows for poolside dining with sweeping views.
Even more exclusive, Segera House offers generous spaces across two floors: a vast entrance hall, three large suites each with an en-suite bathroom, a shared lounge and an open-air dining room, complemented by a private pool.
SPA
The spa welcomes guests within a courtyard adorned with sculptures, a tranquil water feature and fragrant flowers.
Treatments draw on botanical inspiration, with a wide range of experiences to choose from, including a Rasul, a herbal bath and traditional massages.
Activities offered
Beyond its day and night 4x4 safaris, Segera Retreat also offers a wide range of complementary activities.
Walking safaris, accompanied tracker-dog walks, wildlife observation from hides, as well as encounters with local communities through visits to beadwork workshops (run by women) or villages.
The more adventurous can take a helicopter excursion to approach Mount Kenya, the Great Rift Valley with its lakes, and Kenya's northern territories.
And why not take to the skies aboard the legendary “GAAMY”, the famous plane from the film “Out of Africa”? Sleep in the Nay Palad Bird Nest, a remarkable structure designed as a giant nest with breathtaking views over the savannah? Immerse yourself in the Wine Tower, with its impressive collection of South African wines and French champagnes?
