Mugie Wildlife Hide

Our purpose-built hide allows for incredible wildlife encounters and photographic opportunities.

Kenya

Laikipia

Discreetly sunken into the ground, our hide offers an unobtrusive perspective and eye-level views of animals and birds at the waterhole. Guests can spend any amount of time in the well-designed structure, which has four bunk beds, a bathroom and a wide working bench with charging sockets.

Expect all kinds of activity throughout the day; elephants, giraffes, impalas, buffalos, zebras, and more will come and go to quench their thirst, especially in the dry season. Being “one-on-one” with wildlife that is completely oblivious to your presence allows for some exceptional photo opportunities.

Located just 200 meters below the main house, one of our armed guards will escort you to the hide as part of our walking experience, or we can drive you down. Once you are settled in, we can keep you company or leave you to enjoy this enriching experience alone.
