Il Ngwesi
The award winning Il N’gwesi lodge was built in 1996 on a rocky outcrop in an area of the Group Ranch set aside purely for wildlife conservation. It is a community-run eco-lodge made out of local materials, well known for it spectacular ‘open-to the bush’ design with stunning views in all directions. Water to the lodge is fed by gravity from a spring some distance away and our electricity is powered by solar energy. There are two communal areas: one at the front of the lodge overlooking a waterhole, which can also be viewed from a covered viewing platform, and a second with a superb infinity pool which drops away into the wilderness. Both have covered areas for escaping the heat of the day and open areas allowing guests to dine under the stars. The lodge has six exclusively open bandas all self contained, each with its own private view, built on silts using local materials. Five of them have double and single beds, with the ‘Honeymoon Suite' having a large double bed with wheels to enable you roll out the bed to raised platforms if you wish to sleep under the stars. The four poster beds are draped with mosquito nets and feature attractive locally printed fabrics. The bandas also have comfortable sitting vistas that are contained by half walls at the front keeping rooms cool while allowing uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscapes… Each room is self contained, with a well equipped rustic bathroom like you may have never experienced, open showers in the sun or under the stars with piping hot water provided by solar panels. For those looking for a more active experience, mountain climbing, bush walks, game drives (including to Lewa) and camel trips can be a great way to see the bush. Our trained guides can take you to the best areas for game viewing, educate you about animal tracks and show you the stunning scenery in the area. Their wealth of knowledge of the bush and its flora and fauna will help bring the experience alive. If you wish to stay out all day, a picnic can be arranged under a shady tree out of the midday sun down by the Ngare Ndare River, or out in the bush at sunset,
