A few moments worth slowing down for. 🌿

An antelope beneath the trees, buffalo on the ridge and a herd resting in the grass — highlights from our guests’ recent game drive.

Which of these would have made you reach for your camera first?

What would your ideal slow morning look like?

A warm wooden room, greenery outside the window and a sheltered balcony where you can sit a little longer. Take a look inside our Wooden Rooms at Aberdare Cottages & Fishing Lodge.

Right by the river means exactly that.

Our self-catering riverfront cottages sit close enough for the water to become part of the stay — morning coffee, a slow afternoon, or simply opening the door and hearing it outside.

Would you take the chair by the river first, or disappear inside and unpack later?

Some mornings are made for staying under the covers a little longer.

Wooden walls, a warm bed and the sound of the countryside outside — not a bad way to spend the day.

This is one of our tented rooms, ready for the kind of stay where doing very little is completely acceptable.

What is the first thing you do when you check into a room — unpack properly, make tea, or lie down immediately? 😄

Some mornings are better spent by the river.

A rod, a quiet stretch of water and enough time to forget what hour it is.

For guests who enjoy fly fishing, this is one of those activities that fits naturally into a countryside weekend.

A river does more than make a good view.

Around these hills, water is part of everyday life and an important part of the local landscape. On World Energy Day, we’re looking at how closely nature, communities and energy are connected.

There is a lot to appreciate in the relationship between the river, the countryside and the way the area works.

Today, we honour Kenya’s heroes. 🇰🇪

Those whose courage and sacrifice helped win our freedom, and those who have continued to shape our country through service, leadership, innovation, community and everyday acts of courage.

Their stories remind us that being a shujaa is not only about the past. It is also about what we choose to contribute to the Kenya we are building today.

Happy Mashujaa Day from Aberdare Cottages & Fishing Lodge.

The hills are beautiful. They are also… hills. 😄

So we are exploring something that could make getting around them a little easier.

Our director has been in talks with eBee about the possibility of bringing electric bikes to Aberdare Cottages — giving more guests a chance to get out, ride further and enjoy the countryside without every climb becoming a test of fitness.

It is still a work in progress, but we like where this could go.

Would an e-bike make you more likely to explore the area on two wheels?

There is a point in every good stay when everyone ends up around the table.

Maybe it is breakfast before the day starts. Maybe it is something warm after a long walk. Maybe it is just the excuse to sit a little longer and talk.

For World Food Day, we are celebrating the simple part of hospitality that people often remember long after checkout: a meal enjoyed without rushing.

Which meal matters most on a weekend away — breakfast, lunch or dinner?

Still deciding what to do this weekend?

A quiet room. Fresh air. Good food. A slow morning. A walk outside when you feel like it — and no pressure to fill every hour.

Sometimes a good weekend is simply two days that feel different from the week you just had.

If Mathioya sounds like the kind of reset you need, message us to check availability for your preferred dates.
