Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya

Umbaji Eco-Lodge Design Concept - Spring 2025

Welcome to Umbaji Eco-Lodges—a vision born from an unforgettable journey to the breathtaking Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya, in December 2024. It was here the Founder of Umbaji - Kenneth Wainaina while in the heart of the wild, an inspiration to design an eco-friendly lodge struck him—to create a sanctuary where luxury and sustainability merge seamlessly.

Umbaji Eco-Lodges isn’t just a retreat; it’s a revolution in eco-conscious living. These exquisite lodges are designed to blend harmoniously with nature, built using sustainable local materials like wood and clay—echoing the way our ancestors constructed with the land, not against it.

Drawing from generations of wisdom and cutting-edge technology, this concept integrates 3D printing techniques to craft each villa with locally sourced materials. This is more than architecture—it’s a return to regenerative, biophilic design, creating a space that breathes with the environment.

Every detail is designed with sustainability at its core:

🌱 Net Zero Energy Strategies for a self-sustaining, carbon-conscious experience
💧 Rainwater Harvesting to preserve and respect our planet’s resources
🌿 Vertical Gardens that nourish biodiversity and enrich the surroundings

Umbaji Eco-Lodges are not just a destination—they’re a new frontier in sustainable luxury.

“Imagine waking up to the sounds of the wild, surrounded by nature’s beauty—yet wrapped in the comfort of a thoughtfully designed eco-luxury lodges. This is more than just a stay; it’s an invitation to experience the wilderness responsibly and sustainably.” - Kenneth Wainaina
