3-Day Kenya Fly-in Safari Rutundu Log Cabin Retreat begins in Nairobi and ends in Nairobi. Our luxury flying package to Rutundu is perfect for fishermen, walkers, families, adventurers and those who simply want to experience the tranquillity of the mountain.
Rutundu is also undeniably romantic for those on a honeymoon. Popular activities walking, hiking, fishing, bird watching and Horse riding.
One of Kenya’s best-kept secrets, the two log cabins at Rutundu (Rutundu Log Cabins) on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya offer a remote wilderness retreat. Guests spend their days soaking up the spectacular mountain views, watching for birdlife and fauna with a pair of binoculars from the cabin porch, and enjoying rewarding hikes and excellent fishing.
There is no phone signal in the cabins or Wi-Fi, so you can truly escape civilization for a few days. For couples and honeymooners, this is the ultimate romantic escape. The cabins are not easily accessible (something many of the most beautiful spots in the world have in common!) and are self-catering, so rarely included in a typical safari itinerary to Kenya as result.
We’ve taken the hard work off your hands — providing delicious food supplies for the Rutundu cook to rustle up into delicious meals, wood for the fire, and can arrange everything from start to finish to ensure a magical stay.
The two Rutundu cabins are usually self-catering, but we provide all of the food and drink you’ll need. In addition, there are staff who will cook for you.
The cabins are simple and rustic but very comfortable, each with a main bedroom, small twin/ bunk bedroom and bathroom. There is no electricity and lights are in the form of solar lamps. A fireplace keeps the cabin cosy in the cooler months.
The staff are available if you need anything but typically leave you to enjoy this remote mountain location with minimal interruption. Due to the mountainous location, weather can be unpredictable, so we recommend packing for all conditions – sun, rain, hail and anything in between.

Safari Itinerary in Detail
Day 1: Nairobi – Fly to Nanyuki – Transfer to Rutundu Log Cabin Retreat
After breakfast at your hotel/ residence in Nairobi, we transfer you to Wilson airport for your flight to Nanyuki departing at 0800 hours. The flight arrived in Nanyuki at 0930 hours. Upon arrival, your driver guide from Rutundu Log Cabin Retreat will meet and greet you and then transfer you by road in a 4×4 vehicle to the Rutundu Cabins (driving approximately 4 hours).
Most of the journey is on a dirt road up the mountain, so expect some bumps along the way, particularly on the second half of the journey. The road ends at the Kizito Gorge where the team will meet you and carry the supplies and your luggage up.
You’ll enjoy a 15-minute escorted walk to the cabins. Settle into your log cabin home, which is fully stocked with food and drinks. The staff will orientate you about the cabin, walking trails and lakes and then leave you to explore your corner of Mount Kenya at your own pace.
There are guided or unguided walking trails to suit most levels of fitness, from short walks to more strenuous hikes up to Lake Alice.
