about us.
Founded by a Swedish-German trio with a deep love for Kenya, we were drawn to Laikipia by its agreeable climate, captivating safaris, and stunning landscapes, escaping the dark winters of Sweden. Driven by a passion for design and a bohemian lifestyle, we wanted to create a sanctuary where guests feel at home amidst Kenya's natural beauty.
Kilima Gardens represents not just beauty but also a commitment to the Kenyan community. By supporting local employment and promoting sustainable tourism, we aim to foster the area's growth and prosperity.
