Mkombe’s House

PLAN MY TRIP

Built around the rocks of the Kogakuria Kopje, Mkombe’s House is the first and only true private house within the majestic and game-rich Serengeti National Park.

Designed by Joanna Cooke who was also responsible for the award winning Lamai Serengeti, this self-contained house welcomes families. Accommodations at the camp consist of two double/twin open-fronted rooms with zippered netting for the adults. In addition to which, there are two secure children’s rooms nearby for up to six children. Each room has a bathroom with running water, double sinks, an indoor and outdoor shower, a large bath perfect for bubbles, and a flush toilet. Guests can sit back and relax on their private veranda and take in the panoramic views of the Mara River Valley and Lamai Wedge. Other amenities include complimentary laundry service and in-room electrical outlets.

Mkombe’s House is located in the northern Serengeti, set within the iconic Kogakuria Kopjes. The house’s enjoys a solitary setting amid the great grass plains and open skies.In fact, the world-famous Serengeti takes its name from the Maasai word serengit meaning endless plains. It’s the ideal spot to watch the Great Migration, the annual event when over a million wildebeests and about 200,000 zebra head north to the Maasai Mara Reserve in Kenya and then loop back again. The Serengeti has a diverse group of habitats includes riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands. No wonder it was the inspiration for Disney’s Lion King.

Being a private, sole use facility means activities are scheduled around the guests’ own desires and time frames. Daily game drives are led by a private guide and can accommodate children. The Serengeti is home to a wide range of animals from the grazing water buffaloes, warthogs, eland, topi, gazelle, impalas and giraffes as well as their predators the lions, leopards, and spotted hyenas.Guided bush walks for those twelve and older are the ideal way to explore the land for a closer view of the animals and plant life and the chance to study animal tracks. For bird enthusiasts, the camp provides a great spot to watch some of the 500-bird species including five rare birds: the grey-breasted spurfowl, the Fischer’s lovebird, the rufous-tailed weaver, the Usambiro barbet, and the grey-crested helmet-shrike.

The house is named after nomad co-founder, Mkombe Mniko, who started as a guide and had a passion for the Serengeti and a knack with children. That’s why the property is so child-friendly. The kids love climbing the rocks nearby in search of lizards and hyrax. The main house includes a private dining room and lounge, in addition to, a plunge pool, and larger swimming pool all with magnificent views across the Northern Serengeti. Every day the meals are planned with the in-house chef, allowing for lots of flexibility and plenty of choice from a menu loaded with fresh produce, home-baking, and delicious flavors. Cots, high chairs, and car seats are also available for the kids.
