Cosy 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom off-grid bungalow 500 m from Ol Pejeta’s Gatarakwa Gate with big verandah views, fireplace lounge and easy access to game drives.
Tucked on the rural edge of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Whistling Thorns is a modern-classic farmhouse made for slow Laikipia days and starry nights. Wake to mountain and valley outlooks, brew a french-press coffee, and plan an easy roll into the Conservancy — the Gatarakwa gate is ~500 m away for swift entry to game drives. Evenings gather around the large indoor fireplace or out on the deep verandah facing endless horizons.
The single-storey layout sleeps up to 7 guests across 3 bedrooms / 3 baths. A stylish open-plan kitchen flows into a comfortably furnished living room anchored by the fireplace; doors open straight to the wide verandah for alfresco dining and sundowners. Bedrooms are spacious with snug bedding and good storage. The home is purposefully off-grid, running on solar power with rain-harvested water, bringing a lighter footprint without sacrificing comfort.
Outside, a simple backyard and surrounding tracks invite unhurried walks; guided cave walks and local hill hikes are nearby, and the Ol Pejeta perimeter makes for scenic strolls when you’re not on safari. Note the secluded setting — shops are a drive away (Nanyuki / Naro Moru about an hour) — which adds to the quiet. Free on-site parking makes arrivals easy. Your Laikipia bush base, moments from wildlife, awaits.
