ROCKY HOLLOW
EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE
RANCH HOUSE · WILD RIDING · ENDLESS VISTAS
A magnificent seven-bedroom house in northern Laikipia. The house is surrounded by ancient kopjes, rugged cliffs, and a dramatic gorge that channels a seasonal river, cascading over rocks and creating a tranquil ambiance.
Well-trodden elephant trails and game paths crisscross the terrain, doubling as idyllic bridle paths perfect for exploration on horseback. Here, sightings of elephants are common, alongside giraffes, zebras, warthogs, gerenuks, and other native antelope, while baboons bring their playful energy to the scene.
On the property alone, you’ll find endless natural beauty and abundant wildlife, ideal for a morning ride. For a more extensive adventure, neighboring ranches offer access to over 20,000 acres of pristine game country, providing days of exploration and unparalleled encounters with Kenya’s remarkable wildlife.

Nestled within a vast valley in northern Laikipia, which is split by a scenic sand river, Rocky Hollow offers breathtaking southward views stretching to the majestic Lolldaiga Hills and beyond to the iconic peaks of Mt. Kenya. Towering kopjes rise from the savanna floor like nature's sentinels, their weather-worn granite faces painted in subtle hues of amber and rose by the African sun.

An architectural marvel, the house has been beautifully built by Charlie and Mouse McConnell. Designed as a true home rather than a hotel, each bedroom is unique, featuring its own style, large windows, high ceilings, and complete privacy. All rooms have private bathrooms, most with bathtubs. When not exploring outdoors, guests can relax in one of several cozy rooms or on the verandah, a perfect midday retreat where lunch is often served
