Segera Retreat is an oasis of safari luxury, set in the heart of Laikipia, Kenya. The six villas, creatively made of timber and thatch, are built on elevated platforms set above a profusion of lush greenery. The dramatic wall of cactus that encircles the property attracts sunbirds and other beautiful bird species. Past this, guests enjoy elevated views over the savannah landscape teeming with wildlife. 

Segera is home to many contemporary art pieces, enabling guests to admire the natural world and an outstanding artwork collection – The Zeitz Collection. The view from one villa is dominated by a beautiful piece by Walter Oltmann’s Suit. A tour with Segera’s art experts will introduce you to one of the world’s most significant African art collections.

The spacious villas each offer a large en-suite bedroom with a relaxed ambiance and utmost privacy. The outdoor baths and private decks with sun loungers and swing beds are there to spoil you after game driving in this picturesque part of the Laikipia Plateau. This region boasts the second-highest density of wildlife in Kenya. You can also choose to follow your game drive with a visit to the spa and gym or to enjoy a cool dip in the retreat’s saltwater swimming pool. Are you looking to take in the sunset with a drink? Segera’s Wine Tower is an iconic structure that stores a vast hand-selected wine collection.

It is well worth waking up early to watch as the magnificent morning light shine over the vast savannah plains. From the warm reception at the Star Deck, where you might be served a hot coffee next to a roaring fire, you are bound to have an unforgettable safari. Make sure to sign up for Segera’s unique “movie night” in the wild – with cozy lights and furniture brought out into the open, a large canvas held up against the side of a game viewer; it will be the wildest film of your life.
