Founded by a Swedish-German trio with a deep love for Kenya, we were drawn to Laikipia by its agreeable climate, captivating safaris, and stunning landscapes, escaping the dark winters of Sweden. Driven by a passion for design and a bohemian lifestyle, we wanted to create a sanctuary where guests feel at home amidst Kenya's natural beauty. Kilima Gardens represents not just beauty but also a commitment to the Kenyan community. By supporting local employment and promoting sustainable tourism, we aim to foster the area's growth and prosperity.

With Kilima Gardens as your base, a variety of activities to explore the Kenyan wilderness are at your fingertips. Whether you wish to embark on a wildlife safari, hike picturesque forest trails, or trek through Mount Kenya National Park, your adventure can be tailored to your desires. For a change of pace, Nanyuki is just a 20-minute drive away, offering vibrant markets, delightful restaurants, and lively bars.
