Into the Wild – What we are seeing, growing and celebrating

Since the beginning of June, lions have been sighted every single day on drives from all of our properties. The Naretoi pride has become increasingly confident, with an unusual focus on giraffe lately. The three Sankei males have been holding their range across Enonkishu and Ol Chorro—unmistakable in size and presence.

Milele, (one of Kisaru’s husbands), has been seen multiple times, often mid-hunt. Nguvu the impressive leopard has also made several appearances. And on Wild Hill, camera traps caught the quiet movement of both a female leopard and a roaming male, slipping through the edge of the forest just before dawn.

Large herds of elephant and buffalo have returned to Enonkishu, grazing easily across the open glades. And in Naretoi, giraffe have gathered in herds of 25 or more, moving slowly through the rewilded plains.

Our horse riding experiences have become an amazing part of life here. We are always excited to welcome guests from other camps to join us for morning or afternoon rides, led by our experienced team, and tailored to every level.

For guests staying with us—at House in the Wild, Wild Hill, or any of the Wild Villas—riding is included. Whether it’s a quiet walk through the acacia groves or a canter across the plains, there’s something deeply grounding about moving through this land on horseback.

As the season settles in, so have our menus—simple, beautiful food, made well. Chilled soups, roasted vegetables, fresh greens from the shamba, home-baked sourdough, handrolled pasta, and delicate desserts. Paired wines are selected with care, and bitings are made to pause over, not rush through.

It’s all about quality, intention, and the joy of eating together after a full day in the wild.

We’re excited to begin sharing more of our story—through two new films that capture the spirit of Collection in the Wild from different perspectives.

The first, created by Arian Ourtaev—a gifted equestrian and filmmaker—dives into the energy and freedom of our horseback safaris. It’s fast-paced and cinematic, capturing the raw thrill of riding through open country, wildlife all around, with the golden hour unfolding across the plains.

The second, The Land Remembers, is our new hero brand film—a nine-minute piece created in collaboration with the exceptional team at Blackbean Productions. It tells the story of land once lost to farming and overgrazing, and the quiet, determined path of its restoration. This is more than a conservation story—it’s a story of resilience, of people and place, and of tourism used as a genuine force for good.

Both are now live on our brand new Youtube Channel
