Il Ngwesi

Situated at the edge of a hill, Il Ngwesi has spectacular views of the wilderness and the surrounding hills. This place with its magical sunrises, where birds sing a continuous song of the wild, is remote and peaceful. The local Maasai people were initially involved in the construction and now own, run and host the lodge. It is a perfect getaway for the adventurous guest who would like to be one with nature in a secluded setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Built entirely from local material and with traditional ‘makuti’ thatched roofs, Il Ngwesi has open walled cottages with adjoining open-air showers, a large sitting area and a swimming pool with great views of the valley. Two of the rooms have an extended terrace and guests can have their beds pulled out to sleep directly under the stars. The sitting area and some of the rooms have views of the water hole where elephants, buffalos, impalas, zebras and waterbucks come for a drink or a dip. Upon request, your hosts can make dinner arrangements in a nearby Maasai village or organize a day out.
