Our bandas offer a cozy and authentic wilderness experience with en-suite bedrooms, comfortable beds, and solar-powered lighting. Each banda has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas cooker, oven, and freezer, along with cutlery and crockery. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or an adventurous getaway, our bandas provide the perfect balance of comfort and nature.

Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of northern Kenya, our bandas offer stunning sunrises and unforgettable sunsets over the vast landscape. Our conservancies are shared spaces where people and wildlife coexist and is home to elephants, giraffes, cats and a number of antelopes.

Wildlife sightings may vary with the seasons and areas, but our trained rangers are always ready to guide you on nature walks, game drives, or camel treks, ensuring a safe and enriching journey into the wild.

Our bandas operate on a self-catering basis, meaning you’ll need to bring your own food and drinks for a truly personalized dining experience. Our trained chefs, waiters, and housekeepers are here to make your stay as comfortable as possible—at no extra cost. Feel free to relax or even join in the kitchen if you’d like!

Our bandas are proudly owned and operated by the local community, ensuring your stay directly benefits our local communities. Our trained staff, all from the immediate communities, will guide you to cultural manyattas or vibrant weekly markets where you can purchase unique handcrafted wares. Challenge yourself to learn something new—immerse in storytelling, discover traditional ways of life, or even master survival skills from the indigenous people. It’s a meaningful way to connect with Kenya’s rich cultural heritage while embracing the beauty of the wilderness.

For international visitors and new travelers, navigating northern Kenya’s vast landscapes may seem daunting. The Big North is here to make it easy. We recommend a 4×4 for a smooth journey to our bandas, and for added convenience, we offer a tourist vehicle for hire with a professional guide driver. Our goal is to ensure you enjoy a hassle-free adventure, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty and thrilling experiences of the wild.
