A sense of place

Named, not numbered

Hannibal cottage's twin four-poster beds under mosquito-net canopies, seen through the doorway at Warujojo Safari Lodge

Every room, its own story

Each cottage and banda carries its own name on an engraved plaque and its own character inside, with hand-picked textiles, beds beneath mosquito-net canopies suspended from the ceiling like clouds above the savanna, and bathrooms crafted from river stone, flagstone and terracotta. What they share is an en-suite bathroom, a veranda and the quiet of the ridge.

The Cottages

Four cottages,
four characters

Amina, Hannibal, Menelik and Kibalama - each with its own name on the door and its own nature within.
