Hotel Information

Kigio Wildlife Conservancy is a noteworthy 3,500-acre conservancy between Nakuru and Naivasha in Kenya. The beautiful Conservancy with its wide ranging habitats, from riverine and euphorbia woodlands to short grass and Leleshwa shrub, holds approx. 3,500 heads of wildlife (including the endangered Rothschild Giraffe, a 200 strong herd of buffalo, impala, Grant's and Thomson's gazelle, eland, hyena, leopard, hippo and over 250 bird species) which are protected by an electric fence on three sides and the Malewa River on the other side.

The Conservancy's rich biodiversity has been recognized internationally by Tusk Trust, Born Free Trust, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and several private donors who have provided funds to improve the infrastructure in the conservancy and to help wildlife conservation and surrounding communities. The Conservancy is at the forefront of eco-tourism in the Rift Valley lakes area.

Kigio Wildlife Camp is only 1km from Malewa Wildlife Lodge, it is a superb all-suite camp surrounded by a beautiful Yellow-fever tree woodland overlooking the Malewa River. The camp is constructed from sustainable pine-wood, local earth from the conservancy, traditional thatch provided by the surrounding community and canvas panels - there has been minimal usage of cement and steel and the environment has been carefully preserved during its construction. Power is provided by solar panels.

Accommodation at Kigio Wildlife Camp
Accommodation is in 11 spacious suites (each 72 sq mt) and one 2-bedroom family suite, each built on deck and containing a large bedroom and sitting area, a private bathroom with flush toilets, shower and balcony. The dining area is situated in a glade overlooking a towering red cliff that houses colonies of bee-eaters. A most attractive bar sits between two tall fever trees facing the cliff while dining decks are extended up to the river. At night hippo and buffalo visit the camp to feed on ground salts and vegetation, in the morning zebra and giraffe wander through as more than 250 types of birds sing away.

Kigio Wildlife Camp not only offers some of the highest standards of accommodation in the Rift valley lakes area but also a rewarding experience. Guests can partake in complimentary nature walks with naturalists, fishing and biking.

Optional 4x4 day and night game drives are equally rewarding with a chance to see aardvark, aardwolf and caracal. A minimum of 2 nights stay is recommended at the camp

Guests here are not restricted to game drives only and can partake in complementary game walks and bike rides with knowledgeable local naturalists for a superb all-round safari experience.
