Sirikoi is undoubtedly luxurious, but in typical Kenyan style, it also has an exceptionally homely feel. Its spacious central lounge and bar area under a large, solid, thatched building is stylishly designed with family photos, plush sofas, and numerous coffee-table books. The very well-stocked bar is always open, and the bartenders are proud of their skills, enabling them to whip you up a cocktail of your choice! 

The two-person individual tents are set far apart. They are large and beautifully furnished, each with a huge comfortable bed, an outdoor deck, an inside fire that is lit in the evenings, a separate dressing area, and a separate large bathroom with a free-standing Victorian tub and separate shower, and a loo with its own views. 

Sirikoi is a perfect option for families or friends travelling together as it also boasts a two-bedroom cottage and a new three-bedroomed house. Each is self-contained with its own beautiful decks/terraces, a lounge, and a bar and is set slightly away from the main areas. Each large bedroom is en-suite and beautifully designed with a relaxed and homely feel. 

A real plus here is the enormous (pesticide-free, spring water-fed) vegetable garden, which also grows fruit and flowers and housing chickens for the eggs - all of which are used in the lodge - meaning that the food here is delicious, fresh, and healthy. Taking a tour of this garden with George, the head groundsman, who is immensely (and understandably) proud of this garden, is a must-do!
