Laragai House was built on Borana Ranch by two brothers, the Lords Valentine and Michael Cecil, who were looking for the perfect country retreat outside Nairobi. On the edge of an escarpment looking across the plains to the Northern Frontier District, the views from Laragai are stupendous with Ol Olokwe Mountain dominating the horizon and Mt Kenya looming in the clouds to the south.

Laragai House is situated on Borana Ranch, a 35,000-acre wildlife rich, private, working cattle ranch, 16 miles from the equator, adjacent to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. It is built on the Mokogodo Escarpment overlooking the Northern Frontier. Over 300 species of birds and a wide diversity of wildlife inhabit this area.

In its time this extraordinary house was the most opulent in Laikipia. Antiques were brought over from Ireland, china from London and furniture from Rajasthan.

Today Laragai’s new owners have spared no effort in re-creating its former glory and the result is a wonderful tapestry of styles and textures, describing the property’s history whilst providing the most elegant luxury which gives Laragai its utterly unique appearance.
