Visit Reteti House

Perched dramatically above the wild landscapes of Namunyak Conservancy in Samburuland Northern Kenya, Reteti House offers an exclusive-use safari experience shaped by conservation, culture, and complete privacy. Surrounded by 850,000 acres of protected wilderness and overlooking a busy elephant waterhole, the house combines understated luxury with direct access to one of Africa’s most inspiring community-led conservation projects — the nearby Reteti Elephant Sanctuary.

Designed for families and private groups, Reteti House accommodates up to 16 guests across elegant standalone suites and family spaces, all positioned within a spectacular cliffside setting. Days here are guided by expert Samburu hosts and can include game drives, guided walks, bush dining, cultural experiences, and exclusive sanctuary visits. With its infinity pool, uninterrupted wilderness views, and deeply personal connection to the Samburu community, Reteti House delivers a slower, more meaningful safari experience in one of Kenya’s most remote and beautiful regions.
