From the owner

Kiota Safari House has the best of both worlds: a totally wild and natural ecosystem with some of Africa's most magnificent wildlife and scenery - while still being close enough to the airport and a city for easy logistics PLUS world-class security and communications!

IMAGINE YOUR OWN PRIVATE HOME IN AFRICA

Imagine living surrounded by magnificent wildlife and gorgeous scenery. If you have always dreamed of living in the style of Karen Blixen in Out of Africa, with superb house staff and guides and protected by world class security – your dream has come true. Welcome to Kiota Safari House – your African dream home.

ROOMS WITH WONDERFUL VIEWS

Kiota Safari House features four private bedrooms each with a verandah framing gorgeous views of the gardens and river valley below. Wherever you are in Kiota Safari House you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery and enveloped by the kindness and thoughtfulness of our professional house staff.

PRIVATE ACCOMMODATIONS WITH MODERN COMFORTS & OLD WORLD CHARM

A cozy fire waiting for you after an exciting day with the wildlife, wine and laughter on the verandah as the stars come out, wonderful food prepared according to your dietary preference: these are but a few of the features that make Kiota Safari House your ideal home base in Africa.

WORLD-CLASS WILDLIFE VIEWING

Kiota Safari House adjoins the private 12,000-acre El Karama Wildlife Sanctuary: home to elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, Reticulated giraffe, Grevy zebra, Burchell zebra, oryx, Jackson’s hartebeest and the rare African wild dog. Elephant, giraffe, and gazelles often feed right in front of the house.

(Our safari game drives are for viewing and photography and video purposes only. No hunting is allowed on our conservancy.)
