About us

At Ukarimu, the experience is defined by its people, whose dedicated service transforms a simple stay into an unforgettable cultural immersion. Isaya, a Maasai traditional security guard, is far more than a sentry; he is a gentle guardian and a living link to the region’s rich heritage. Standing watch with quiet dignity, his presence provides not just profound safety but also a deep, reassuring connection to the ancient spirit of the land, making you feel truly protected and welcomed.

This heartfelt hospitality continues within the walls of your retreat, beautifully embodied by Upendo, whose name fittingly means “love.” She is the nurturing spirit of the homestay, graciously preparing delicious, authentic meals that fill the air with aromatic warmth. With a radiant smile and attentive care, she tends to every need, ensuring you feel less like a guest and more like cherished family. Together, Isaya and Upendo create the very soul of Ukarimu, offering a perfect blend of secure tranquility and heartfelt, home-cooked comfort.
