Our take
Sirikoi House is a three-bedroom exclusive-use home within Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. A private guide, vehicle, chef and heated pool give a small family or group its own safari rhythm, with the option to join Sirikoi’s main dining deck.
The house provides a private way to stay at Sirikoi, with a courtyard connecting the accommodation to shared living spaces. Fireplaces, a bar and a veranda create a comfortable centre, while the deck overlooks the wetlands. Its scale suits a small party wanting a home base rather than a larger exclusive residence, with Lewa’s wildlife and conservation landscape shaping the days beyond the house.

01
Accommodation
Accommodation consists of a master suite and a separate cottage with two en-suite bedrooms, making three bedrooms in total. The master has an outdoor shower, and bathrooms include baths and rain showers. The courtyard arrangement separates sleeping space from the main living area, so room allocation matters for parents deciding how close younger children should stay.
02
Food & drink
A dedicated chef and household team allow private meals at the house, while guests can also dine on the main Sirikoi deck. Produce from Sirikoi’s garden influences the cooking. The choice between private and shared settings makes the stay flexible, with dietary preferences and preferred family mealtimes discussed ahead of arrival.
03
What to do
The house’s private vehicle and guide provide a flexible programme of Lewa game drives. Guided walks, horse or camel outings and conservation experiences can introduce different aspects of the landscape, subject to activity arrangements and suitability. The private heated pool provides an easy alternative between drives, while the wetlands deck rewards quiet wildlife watching without another excursion.
Planning your stay
The master suite and two-bedroom cottage allow a family or friends to share the house while retaining separate sleeping spaces. Parents should consider the courtyard layout for younger children. Private guiding and dining make it easier to shape days around different ages.
A dedicated chef, guide and vehicle combine with a private heated pool to make Sirikoi House a complete small-group base. Its option to join the main deck preserves some of Sirikoi’s wider atmosphere without requiring communal meals throughout.
The house is distinct from Sirikoi Cottage and the lodge’s tented rooms. Request it by name when enquiring, with your intended bedroom allocation. Walking and riding activities have their own suitability requirements even though the house’s game-drive vehicle is private.

Sirikoi House can work well for a family safari where privacy matters but a very large residence is unnecessary. We would combine Lewa’s conservation interest with the Mara’s plains wildlife, allowing enough nights at both to avoid sacrificing the house experience to travel days.
