Explore the house, its spaces, and the experiences that make Natumoi a place for families to connect, discover, and linger. From sunlit rooms to open living areas, every corner invites quiet moments, shared stories, and time together.
Everything you need to know to plan your stay, embrace the bush and enjoy every moment with ease and confidence.
Planning a stay at Natumoi is about balancing curiosity, adventure and comfort. We understand that families may have questions about the house, the bush environment, or the experiences on offer. This section provides practical information and guidance to help you feel confident and prepared, so you can focus on exploring, connecting and creating unforgettable memories in the heart of the Mara.
While every effort is made to provide an immersive and seamless experience, guests should remember that Natumoi is situated in a remote bush environment.
Wildlife is present throughout the conservancy and may be encountered during walks, drives or even from the house itself. Children should always be supervised outside, and the team will provide guidance to ensure safety. Seasonal weather can influence activities, so flexibility is encouraged. Our goal is to balance adventure with comfort, allowing families to explore, connect and create meaningful memories while remaining safe and supported at all times.
A minimum stay of 2 nights applies during low season, and 3 nights during high season.

Very much so. Natumoi is designed as a family home in the bush and we love hosting children of all ages.
Children can move freely within the house and main garden areas during the day. However:

Natumoi sits within Naretoi Conservancy, which is fenced to prevent larger wildlife (such as elephants) from entering.
Around the house, there is a low wooden barrier along the front (covering the lawn, deck and pool), and the house itself is slightly elevated.
During the day, wildlife does not typically enter the immediate garden area and guests can move freely within these spaces.
The pool is 15.2m x 4.55m
There is no lifeguard on duty, so guests swim at their own risk and children should be supervised at all times.
We recommend all guests consult their doctor or travel clinic ahead of their trip for personalised advice.
