Arijiju: A Masterpiece of Sustainable Design

nature. Nestled into the Laikipia landscape, Arijiju is dedicated to conservation, with its tourism model funding local projects.

Carved into the bedrock and nearly invisible from above, Arijiju’s design ensures minimal environmental impact. Positioned to capture stunning sunrise views of Mount Kenya, the house features local timber and stone, embodying a blend of contemporary and ancient aesthetics. Inspired by Ethiopian monasteries, its living roof and rough stone walls conceal five suites, a cinema room, study, living and dining areas.

The house exudes unassuming elegance with handcrafted furniture, Belgian linen, and earthy accents. Staffed by a dedicated team, Arijiju offers personalized service around the clock. Situated in the Borana Conservancy, a vital wildlife corridor and sanctuary for Kenya’s endangered black rhino, it provides a unique safari experience amidst East Africa’s rich wildlife, including the Big 5.
