Sirikoi Lodge

Sirikoi Lodge is one of the most refined luxury safari lodges in Kenya. It is located within the renowned Lewa Wildlife Conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau. Overlooking a natural waterhole and surrounded by open savannah, the lodge offers an elegant safari experience. This takes place within one of East Africa’s most successful conservation landscapes.

Known for its exceptional hospitality, beautiful setting, and outstanding wildlife viewing, Sirikoi combines classic safari style with understated luxury. Furthermore, the lodge is particularly well suited for travelers seeking a private and peaceful safari environment. It features some of the finest guiding in northern Kenya.

With a small number of beautifully designed cottages and suites, Sirikoi provides an intimate atmosphere. As a result, guests can experience the wildlife and landscapes of Lewa Conservancy in comfort and privacy.

Location & Landscape

Sirikoi Lodge lies in the heart of the 65,000-acre Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. This is a landscape internationally recognized for its pioneering conservation work.

The terrain surrounding the lodge is defined by rolling savannah plains dotted with acacia woodland. In addition, the dramatic slopes of Mount Kenya rise to the south. A natural waterhole in front of the lodge attracts a steady flow of wildlife. This allows guests to enjoy sightings directly from the lodge.

Lewa Conservancy protects one of the largest populations of black and white rhinoceros in East Africa. It also shelters Grevy’s zebra, elephant, lion, and many other species.

Accommodation & Design

Sirikoi Lodge offers a small collection of elegant accommodation options positioned to maximise privacy and views across the conservancy.

Accommodation includes:

• Luxury tented suites overlooking the waterhole
• Spacious cottage suites with private verandas
• The beautiful Sirikoi Cottage, ideal for families or small groups

Interiors reflect a refined East African safari style with handcrafted furniture, warm natural materials, and soft neutral colors that blend with the surrounding landscape.

For families or groups seeking complete privacy, the property also offers Sirikoi House. This is an exclusive private residence available for private use within the conservancy.
