Sirikoi Lodge – Private Cottage
Lewa Conservancy
Kenya
Sirikoi Lodge was built by Willie and Sue Roberts, overlooking a natural spring-fed waterhole frequented by wildlife.
The common areas are beautiful and inviting, filled with Roberts family photos, lovely art, comfortable seating and coffee table books. The lodge has a warm, welcoming feel, and the attention to detail is remarkable. With only a handful of tents and private cottages, Sirikoi offers a very high-quality, personal experience, combining zealous attention to detail with an unpretentious set-up, excellent food and friendly staff. The lodge overlooks a marsh fed by the Sirikoi Stream, shaded by giant acacia trees and dotted with wildlife.
Sirikoi Cottage is a lovely private cottage with two bedrooms. A shared central area with a small kitchen links the bedrooms and leads out onto a spacious deck from which to enjoy views of the waterhole and beyond. The cottage is perfect for families. If two families travel together, we will book both the cottage and the house.
About This Area
Lewa Conservancy is a 45,000-acre private conservancy that sits high on a 6000 foot plateau between the slopes of Mt Kenya and the dry arid deserts to the north. The scenery is spectacular with a lovely rolling landscape, big skies and rarified air. The wildlife is diverse and includes some of the species that are endemic to northern Kenya such a Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk. It is also a Rhino conservation area and there are good numbers of both black and white rhino.
We love Lewa for the diversified game drives, fantastic hikes, and great variety and freedom. In addition, due to its location we can access areas of great interest outside the private conservancy such as the forests of Mt Kenya, Nagare Ndare’s magical Blue pools (both recognized as part of the UNESCO designated Mount Kenya World Heritage Site ), and the vast northern frontier district. Lewa has an excellent and unique relationship with its neighbouring communities, allowing for great opportunities to visit some of the local villages and schools to get a feel for their customs and culture.
