Mukima House was built on a grand scale in the 40's and has been recently rescued, rebuilt and refurbished. Hand made cedar floors, cedar windows and some immense cedar beams make this house one of Kenya's most exceptional surviving examples of a past era.

There is a swimming pool, tennis court, sauna, massage room, fishing, dinghies on the dam, badmington, croquet, table tennis, broad band internet, satellite TV/DVD, walks and fabulous birdwatching.

Game drives, walking safaris and horse riding can be arranged on nearby ranches and reserves, while golf and trout fishing are also available. Nanyuki airstrip offers easy access in, out and about by plane or helicopter.

Mukima House is a 15 minute drive from Nanyuki. Standing on a 350 acre triangle, which was once a cedar forest, evidence of the age and size of the forest can be seen in the timbers of which the house is built. There are clear views of Mount Kenya, the Aberdares and the Loldaiga Hills from all corners of the property.

A large dam in front of the house, fed by ground water from Mount Kenya, provides safe haven to many bird species, including egrets, ibis, storks, pelicans, various ducks and two breeding pairs of crested crane.

A small herd of impala and bushbuck are breeding on the farm, while tree hyrax provide the appropriate night noises and the guinea fowl are becoming tamer.
