Good To Know
Tassia is built from rock and wood, right into the hillside. Each of the seven rooms has its own bathroom, and the side facing the valley is completely open, so the view comes straight into your room.
Families, couples and solo travellers all stay with us, and we’re happy to set rooms up to suit you.
The big open lounge, bar and dining area sit above an infinity-edge pool that looks down on our waterhole, so you can watch wildlife come to drink without leaving your seat. Our chefs, housekeepers and waiters are here to look after you from the moment you arrive.
Use the Book Now button, send us a message on WhatsApp or email reservations@lekurruki.com. We’ll get back to you with availability and help you plan your stay.

If you’re booking at Kenyan resident rates, we’ll ask for proof of residency. You’ll find all our prices on the Rates & FAQ page.
Children aged 5 and over are very welcome. Because the lodge is open to the bush and wild animals can be unpredictable, we can’t host children under 5, and we ask parents to keep a close eye on their little ones at all times.
Conservancy fees are paid per person, per night, for staying in Lekurruki Conservancy. The money goes back into protecting the land: ranger patrols, anti-poaching work, looking after the habitat and keeping roads and water points running.
If you’re paying resident fees, we’ll ask for proof of Kenyan residency.
By road: about 2.5 to 3 hours from Nanyuki. You’ll need a 4WD for the last stretch.
By air: you can charter a flight straight to Tassia’s private airstrip (0°25’47.0”N, 37°20’20.0”E).
Ask us for detailed directions when you book.
Any time of year is good, because the waterholes keep wildlife around all year. The best viewing is in the dry seasons, July to October and January to February. With little water elsewhere, animals gather at the waterholes, including the one right below the lodge.
Being off-grid is part of the magic, but we know you may need to check in with home. There’s Wi-Fi in the main lounge and dining area. There’s no mobile network at the lodge.
We strongly recommend travel and health insurance for everyone visiting Tassia, and that you’re fit to travel. The nearest doctor is in Nanyuki, a 25-minute flight away. We work with the flying doctors, and there’s space for a helicopter to land in an emergency.
Being so close to the equator, the weather barely changes through the year. Days are warm, in the mid-twenties Celsius (mid-seventies Fahrenheit), and nights get properly cool. Bring warm layers for early mornings and evenings, plus a hat and strong sunscreen for the day.
Yes. We have 24-hour security and two armed scouts based at the lodge. At night, our askaris walk you to your room and stay on duty within shouting distance until morning.
Yes, and we’d love you to. We can arrange a cultural visit to meet local families and learn about Yaaku traditions, including their long history of honey-gathering and beekeeping. Just ask when you book.
Yes, camping is allowed on Lekurruki Conservancy, but it needs to be booked in advance. Please contact Simon at manager@lekurruki.com to arrange it.
