Wild Hill, opened on 1st August 2024, is set on the edge of the Enonkishu Conservancy, on the Kileleoni Hill, in the Northern Mara Ecosystem. It is an architectural masterpiece, with living grass roofs, and indigenous landscaping, blending into the landscape. Water is harvested on-site, and it is run on 100% solar power. Much of the lodge has been built using up-cycled material, including fence posts taken down from the nearby newly re-wilded and formed Mbokishu Conservancy, following on from the success of the neighbouring Enonkishu Conservancy. Wild Hill is accessed through an ancient door that opens onto a dramatic tunnel built into the hill. Expansive and jaw dropping views lead you through the main area.
The property has two fully stocked bars and a fire pit built into the deck, offering top seats to the greatest show on earth; the sunset over the Mara Serengeti plains.

There are several spaces to relax, including the living area by the fire, the outdoor deck, the pool lounge, and the home cinema room. Enjoy games like billiards, giant Jenga on the deck, cornhole, or pickleball on the court. e-bikes are also offered for gentle rides around the area.
The Wild Wellness Spa is accessed through an enchanting forest in a glade of the hill, and it features a sauna, cold plunge, treatment room and wood fired hot tub.
