Segera Retreat is a wildlife sanctuary that offers utmost luxury amidst natural beauty, alongside personal enrichment from conscientious, sustainable safari travel. This is unique oasis which boasts spectacular views of the surrounding savannah, where wildlife populations and habitats are being conserved on mostly private and communal lands.
With Mount Kenya as the backdrop and views over the Laikipia Plateau, Segera Retreat is an extraordinary haven of beauty in Kenya. The nearby natural springs attract herds of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, warthog and many other native species throughout the year.
Here you will find all the usual safari activities, as well as some quirky and unique surprises that will amaze and astound you:
Segera is comprised of several garden villas and three private safari houses surrounded by unspoiled African landscape. We recommend staying in one of the luxurious private villas for the most extraordinary experience in the privacy of your own ‘home from home’:
Villa Segera has multiple views across the river and waterhole and is perfect for couples or small families seeking privacy. There are two, octagonally-shaped en-suite bedrooms raised on stilts connected by a suspended walkway. Beneath the rooms there are open-air living spaces and a private pool.
Segera House is a grand, two-story house with three huge en-suite bedrooms and an open-plan lounge. It is elegant and has a relaxed feel, with plenty of space for a multi-generational family or a group of three couples travelling together.
The Farmhouse is the original ranch homestead which has been transformed into a contemporary family safari home with three bedroom. The rooms open onto a canopied outdoor lounge and private pool. There is also an extra single bedroom that can accommodate an additional guest or nanny. You can see giraffe visit from the garden each day and watch spectacular sunrises over Mount Kenya, all from your own private space.
You can also sleep out under the stars in complete luxury at the spectacular Nay Palad Bird Nest, a raised nest out in the bush with an indoor en-suite bedroom and a rooftop bed. Arrive to a picnic style dinner and candle-lit drinks before sleeping under the skies and waking to dawn.
Kenya's Segera Retreat is in the heart of the Laikipia Plateau which is nestled between the glorious Mount Kenya to the east and the Great Rift Valley to the west and on an important migratory corridor within the Ewaso ecosystem that offers fantastic biodiversity.
The Segera lifestyle, focused around 'Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce' - the 4Cs - is carefully designed to inspire your soul as much as your senses while promoting practices that impact the environment and the community in positive ways
The Zeitz Foundation was created by Segera’s owner Jochen Zeitz and is supported by each guest at Segera through their booking. As a guest you can also take an active approach by visiting the many varied projects that they run as a part of your safari, to a project that fits with your own interests.
The Foundation implements a holistic approach to achieving long-term sustainable management of the ecosystem. Sustainable tourism is leveraged to make a real difference! As a part of your safari, we encourage you to visit a selection of their initiatives and continue to support them on your return. There is no end of projects to choose from so you can select something that speaks to you personally, which might range from:
