A home in the wild.
Wake to an African sky, spend the day exploring the conservancy and return in the evening to a house that feels entirely your own.
01 / 03
Wingu Kenda, Cloud Nine in Swahili, is one of those rare places. Tucked into the wild country around Nanyuki, within a private wildlife conservancy and under the watch of Mount Kenya, it feels less like a holiday home and more like a secret that Africa has been keeping to itself.
The landscape is the real backdrop here. Open skies, ancient trees, wildlife moving through the conservancy and the quiet rhythm of the Kenyan bush make up much of everyday life. Inside, the house has the warmth and character of a much-loved private home, somewhere made for long lunches, fireside evenings and stories that go on long after the sun has disappeared.
Wingu Kenda has history too. The house was once the Kenyan home of the celebrated actor Sir John Hurt, who chose the name Cloud Nine for his little corner of Africa. Today, its greatest luxury remains the same: space, solitude and the extraordinary privilege of being surrounded by wilderness.
