A tiny game sanctuary, it actually lies within the legal boundaries of the frontier township of Maralal. On the cedar clad hillside and in the acacia scrubland below, there is a profusion of residents’ game with buffalo, zebra, and impala living in harmony. Seasonally, elephant descend from forested slopes to the north. Leopards are baited in a small forest not far from lodge and can be seen in safety from a specially constructed blind. To reach Maralal, one has to journey through wild countryside across this arid northern section of Kenya until, as the mount is reached; one has breathtaking views of wild lunar landscapes all around.
