Located in Segera, a 50,000 acre ranch on the Laikipia Plateau, Segera Retreat is a jewel in the highly respected Wilderness Collection’s crown. Owned by conservation-minded ecotourism trailblazer JochenZeitz (ex-CEO of Puma) and managed by once-of-North Island’s Jens Kozany, Segera Retreat is a truly first rate luxury eco-lodge. Set in its own enormous and beautifully designed botanical garden, the so-called Oasis, Segera Retreat is a timber and thatch build consisting of Segera House, Villa Segera, one family villa that sleeps four and five private villas. Shared areas include Paddock House, the reclaimed Stables, the Pool Bar and pool (saltwater), gym, spa, shop and Rasul Tower (steam room). In keeping with its 4Cs approach, activities at Segera Retreat are broad, varied and designed to leave as slight a footprint as humanly possible. They include day and night drives, guided walks, visiting the 4C centre, cultural visits, helicopter safaris to various surrounding sights including Mt. Kenya, sundowners, gym and spa.
This small and intimate safari eco- camp is located within Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a vast 90000-acre wildlife area between the Aberdares and the majestic Mount Kenya. The conservancy is home to a variety of animals including the “Big Five”. It is the largest sanctuary in East Africa for the endangered Black Rhino and is also a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees.
