Time at Kilima is best spent in step with nature. This is a home designed around ease – there’s a sense of welcome woven into its very fabric. Its spaces encourage a pace in harmony with the wilderness’ own. In tuning into the rhythm of the day, and our own senses, we feel every moment more keenly. Move with us from sunrise to nightfall on this remote hillside in the Serengeti. Dawn | evocative scents: The day dawns. A sunrise gradually illuminates the Serengeti below. Soft light creeps across the plains. The air is at its freshest now – dew still sits on the grass and leaves, biding time as the sun climbs high and
bright enough to burn it off. The aroma of hot coffee and something cooking emanates from the kitchen – a preview of the invigorating and all- embracing day to come. Morning | inspiring sights: Easing in, golden light moves further overhead, filtering through the trees and dappling across the ground. The emerald green and gold of the plains glow in the distance, and shadows of umbrella-like acacias slowly lengthen with the passing hours. Inside, a curation of vibrant art and patterned fabrics creates eclectic pockets of beauty in every room – a journey through the generations of inherited craft. A feast for the eyes.
