About House in the Wild
A family-run boutique retreat on the Mara River at Enonkishu, where regenerative farming meets safari — ride, walk, and meet the herders rebuilding this frontier.
The area: Enonkishu Conservancy
The northernmost conservancy in the Mara ecosystem — 6,000 acres where conservation, Maasai cattle herding and regenerative farming are deliberately mixed. The “boma to biome” frontier of the Mara.
What it's like
A working landscape rather than a pure game area: ride, walk, meet herders, then game-drive among resident wildlife on the Mara River’s upper reaches.
Getting there & fees
By road from Narok via Mulot or Aitong; Ngerende airstrip is nearby.
Conservancy fees (typically US$100–150 per adult per night) are bundled into camp rates here and paid to Maasai landowning families; reserve entry fees apply only on days you cross into the reserve itself.
Plan around this stay
Seasons, wildlife and reserve fees are in the Masai Mara park guide. The year is broken down in the best time to visit the Masai Mara, and this price tier sits in context in what a Kenya safari costs in 2026. How this conservancy compares with the reserve is covered in conservancies vs the reserve.
