Our Story
Born from a love of the open road, the mountain, and the morning light.
Inspired by a love for the open road, our founders journeyed to Nanyuki and were captivated by the crisp air and the majestic presence of Mount Kenya. What began as a personal retreat became a mission to share that magic — where adventure meets comfort, and strangers become friends around the fire.
