History
Sirai House sits at the foot of Mount Kenya within the 32,000-acre Borana Conservancy in Laikipia, a private wildlife sanctuary in Kenya's central highlands. The exclusive-use house was created by the Dyer family, long-established Kenyan conservationists behind the neighbouring Borana Lodge, and opened as a private safari retreat in the early 2010s.
Built as a single sprawling main house with a handful of guest rooms, the property is taken on a sole-use basis so a family or group of friends have the estate, staff and conservancy to themselves. It has been repeatedly singled out by the luxury travel press for its blend of contemporary design and immersive wilderness on a working rhino conservancy.
