DESERT ROSE lodge
Nestled on the Southern slopes of sacred Mount Nyiru, Desert Rose commands views over the vast rugged skylines near a spring-fed forest in Kenya's fragile semi arid Northern wilderness. The Desert Rose staff is
made up of Samburu men and women who
view of the pool and lodge
traditionally live in the area. Your hosts, the Chen family are the founders and inspirators of this remote bush home. They have insured that every aspect of the lodge is totally environmentally friendly, from your hot bath water of which there is plenty to the disposal of waste.

The five houses accommodating up to twelve people are individually designed around various natural features.
Each suite has it's own private flush toilet and open air en-suite bathroom. The main lounge and pool area have been hand crafted to blend with the indigenous gardens, landscaped to enhance the dramatic views and all the power is solar generated.
The remote location ideally requires a full week in order to fully appreciate the tranquil ambience and the multitude of activities to chose from. Check our excursions page for all your options. Despite its remote location, the lodge is very child-friendly, encouraging families with kids of all ages.

fruits and vegetables and
the best Kenya butcher,
our meals are simply
delicious. Dietary subtleties
can be catered for on request.
