Detailed Trip Description

An oasis of breathtaking beauty where wildlife dwells undisturbed, Ol ari Nyiro is renowned for the variety of its landscapes, from open savannah to steep gorges, endless vistas of hills covered in wild sage and thorn trees; for its herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope and its many lions. The ranch sanctuary to the largest known population of undisturbed indigenous black rhino outside National Parks. Mukutan means “The Meeting” and it is here that the fingers of the surrounding hills meet. The Retreat is so-called to convey the spirit of total privacy, remoteness and magic that pervades it and leaves even the most seasoned traveller in awe. It is perched on the cliffs overlooking the great gorge, its waterfalls, palm trees and extraordinary thermal hot springs. The unique setting, the silence and the evocative sounds of Africa, make of the Mukutan Retreat an exclusive hideway for discriminate travelers, who wish to find a total communion with nature in simple yet extremely sophisticated comfort.
