Company information

Hi Fellow adventure lover 😊! I am an organic farmer, safari operator, mountain guide and a nature lover. I run an eco-resort in Tharaka-Nithi county close to the world-famous scenic route to Mt. Kenya – Chogoria route. Everything we serve on your plate is organically grown and we have the aim of making all sources of energy at the farm 100% renewable from biofuel, solar and hydro. I am looking to not just live, but rather thrive. That is why we don’t just offer a place for you to stay. We have lots of activities around our culture supported by the local community for you to have the full Meru experience. We have traditional cooking lessons, painting lessons, Mountain climbing tours to Lake Ellis* Mugi Hill, Nithi Falls* Mau Mau caves and the 3rd highest peak of MT’ Kenya Lenana. You can also enjoy a walk cycling through the famous Thûchi - Nkûbu road to the OLD Marima town as we tell you the history of the Ameru. You may be lucky and get boys going for their circumcision ceremony in the tour. I enjoy connecting with people through stories, kindness, and compassion. Maybe we can catch a beer at the bonfire by the bar? I welcome you to Tharaka-Nithi, Kenya and I hope you will have a memorable experience with us.

Property information

We are located at the heart of Tharaka-Nithi county, central Kenya. A natural paradise in the highlands of Mount Kenya next to the world famous scenic Chogoria route. The elevation of the eco-lodge is 1528.36 above sea level. We are at river Nithi bridge, right on the Meru-Nairobi highway, a 5-minute drive from Chuka and Chogoria towns. The river is within the property, you get to enjoy all its parts from the stills, the rapids, deep gorges, and a little waterfall at the end! Everything we serve on your plate is organically grown. we have the aim of making all sources of energy at the farm 100% renewable from biofuel, solar and hydro. Often known as “glamping”, a luxury tent should not be confused with the more traditional notion of camping. They are spacious, yet petite, and radiate luxury and romance. Accommodation strategically set at the base of the river blended with an authentic bush look and feel. Drift to the hum of the waterfall as you fall asleep, the sound is incredibly relaxing. The tents are large & spacious, all ensuite bathrooms with hot and cold shower, flash toilet; with electricity connected 24/7. The luxury tent boasts of private balconies and sitting areas, perfectly positioned overlooking an immaculate garden. Camps cater to a limited number of guests, usually having only 4 individual tents, to ensure that your experience is personalized. You will enjoy the privacy of your own space as well as networking with other guests in the common areas. At the heart of the camp is a central dining and meeting area, often with an outdoor fire pit where guests congregate into the evening. Kuchapa stori and dancing as we watch the stars. We offer a personal and curated experience unique concept in community guiding based on the expertise and first-hand experience of the local community’s members to introduce you to landscapes, flora and fauna that they intimately understand. Wake up facing Mt. kenya, listen to the birds and at night, countless stars...!
