  We stayed in Mukima House for 5 nights to enjoy the place - perfect decision. Strong story. Beautiful nature, view of Mount Kenya, safe walking around the lake and forest. A lot of birds. Lovely large stone swimming pool and hot tube for chilly evenings. Amazing cuisine, really something special. Historical charm of the rooms and all the corners of the house. It is like museum but with life. Privacy. And finally, the people that take special care about the house and about you. You can visit Ol Pejeta or Mount Kenya National Park easily from the house. In case of rains, appropriate car is necessary for the road. We highly recommend staying at this place.

  I hardly know where to begin, because words can’t quite capture just how magical our time at Mukima was. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into another world — one filled with beauty, tranquillity, and the kind of thoughtfulness that turns a holiday into something truly unforgettable. Every single detail was flawless. The house itself is breathtaking, perfectly set against the backdrop of Mount Kenya, and the gardens and grounds seem to hold a new surprise around every corner. Meals were extraordinary — delicious, fresh, and shared in the most beautiful settings. The balance of adventure and serenity was perfect: mornings filled with exploring, afternoons spent in peaceful reflection, and evenings under star-filled skies. But what made the experience truly exceptional was the people. The team at Mukima are nothing short of remarkable. Their warmth, care, and attention to every little detail made us feel not like guests, but like part of the family. It’s a rare and special thing to find hospitality so genuine, and it’s something we will treasure forever. Mukima will always hold an even deeper significance for us, because it was here that we got engaged. It still feels like a dream — to have one of life’s most important moments unfold in a place so extraordinary. Since returning to London, we’ve found ourselves telling the story again and again to friends and family, and every time we relive it, we are transported back to those incredible days. Each memory — each meal, each laugh, each quiet afternoon — is etched into our hearts. Mukima is more than just a destination; it is a place that stays with you long after you leave. We feel incredibly privileged to have been part of its story, and we cannot wait to return. If you are considering visiting, don’t hesitate. Mukima is not just somewhere to stay — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will become part of you.

  Mukima is a sanctuary. From the beginning till the end the house, staff and surroundings felt like a warm blanket. The house is absolutely stunning, even better than on the pictures. The garden and land around is too good to describe. If I could play the sound of the birds, the subtle breeze through the trees and show the colours of the flowers I would but it has to be experienced. The food is AMAZING!!! So fresh and nourishing. Uncomplicated yet surprising... the food I wish I made for myself every day. The massages were mind-blowing. I slept like a rock each night. I also recommend visiting Ol Pejeta with the guide for a day of safari and doing yoga at sunrise with view on the lake. My fav things are the soul and love you feel in everything and everyone, the old charm of the house, the food, the refreshing pool, the view on Mount Kenya and on the lake. I go home feeling refreshed from head to toe and body to soul.

  This is a magnificent stone and wood house. Well built and stately. It made our tough strategic planning all that much easier to be doing, surrounded by such beauty and tranquility. The staff of the house, especially the housekeepers, are well trained, kind, polite and discreet - you barely see them outside of meal times. There really are no words that can adequately capture sitting by the fire on plush sofas, the tea in interesting kettles and caddies, or the sunrise... that heart-stopping sunrise is where novels begin... Now if only the food was consistent, it would've been perfect! Though, there is something to be said for the homemade lime and lemon sorbet! I could've had a whole pot of it!

  A perfect holiday spent at Mukima allowed us to relax in the tranquility of a traditional colonial era guesthouse with attentive staff and excellent food. It has an impressive view of Mt Kenya - it's hard to find a better place for sundowners. Mukima also has a dam forming a lake that provides a paradise for a myriad of bird life, with spectacular dawn and dusk displays.
