Kilimandege sanctuary

-- Hill of Birds  -- 

WELCOME TO KILIMANDEGE

​Naivasha's little secret.

​

 

Tucked away between two busy lodges is your own little piece of untouched paradise.

 

Hosting- and boasting- over 350 species, Kilimandege Sanctuary ('Hill of Birds' in Kiswahili) is the perfect place to lose yourself in a colourful explosion of feathers and tweets that will fascinate even the least enthusiastic twitcher. Or join wild giraffe, zebra, waterbuck and gazelle as they roam free across the 88-acre grasslands without the harassment of tour vans and overcrowded viewing points.

​

Left to the foundation by the late wildlife documentary film pioneer, Joan Root, the area is reaped in not only Kenyan history but also international significance: acting as both treasured home and project HQ for Joan & Alan's internationally acclaimed and ground-breaking work for the National Geographic, the 40-year spanning Survival series and numerous independent wildlife films and adventures.

​

Both of our properties are serene escapes to the country with Otter Cottage sleeping <8 and the historic Kilimandege House accommodating <12 right on the shore of Lake Naivasha. With proceeds going towards the conservation and protection of the area, your stay not only does wonders for your own well-being but also that your our feathered & furry friends.

​

So stop thinking so hard, and #sharethesecret!
