Located on the foothills of Mt. Kenya in Laikipia, Sirai House is as magnificent as it is pricey. Sirai House sits in a secluded 250-acre estate, high on a ridge with spectacular views in all directions, surrounded by indigenous forests and game-rich Kenyan hills and plains.
How To Get There
Borana is a four-hour drive from Nairobi and a one-hour drive from the town of Nanyuki.
There are daily scheduled flights by Safarilink and Air Kenya from Nairobi Wilson Airport to neighbouring Lewa Downs Conservancy airstrip from where Sirai House staff will pick you up. It’s about 50 minutes’ drive to Sirai House.
Sirai House has courageously redefined the bush home experience in Kenya, trapping you perfectly between a bush and a home away from home.
Sirai has beautiful cottages with master ensuite bedrooms, master bathrooms and suites. The master ensuite has unrivalled space and luxury. Beyond a glass wall of retractable doors, a private terrace and infinity pool lead the eye out across the plains of Kenya that lay below Sirai.

When darkness sets in, you can have the staff at Sirai organize a sundowner as you watch dusk fall over the plains.
