The original ‘settler’ home was a simple one room, iron sheet house built on wooden stilts and still stands on the lawns of the Malewa Ranch House. Later a two bedroom stone house was built during the 1920’s. This old colonial farmhouse was part of the infamous ‘Happy Valley Set’ so richly talked about in early colonial dairies. Situated on the banks of the Malewa River and now within the boundaries of the magnificent Kigio Wildlife Conservancy, the Malewa Ranch House has been renovated to fit in with the comforts of the 20th century with 5 very comfortable bedrooms and a very spacious veranda. With ample room for dining and lounging, this veranda is the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the Malewa Ranch House and we guarantee that many hours will be spent enjoying its comforts and ambiance, with wide views onto the lawns and bougainvillea flower beds. . In the beautiful gardens that extend to the river, a windmill patiently works away lifting water from the well, whilst birdsong can be heard in the treetops until dusk, when the old-fashioned ‘Lister’ generator cuts in to provide lighting until you retire to bed. Then the nocturnal sounds of the Hyena and Leopard take over and remind you that you are indeed still in ‘Old Africa’. Malewa Ranch House is a secret home, in a hidden valley that offers peace and tranquillity and time for reading and relaxation. Alternatively it can also be the home of activities for game drives, walking with wildlife, nature walks, bird watching, fly-fishing, rock climbing and abseiling. We offer this beautiful home on an all-inclusive basis, including 3 meals a day prepared by our cordon bleu chef and all drinks (except champagne), served by our obliging staff.
