Overview
When the nights are warm and windless, and the stars are out in force, who wouldn’t want to sleep outdoors? At Puku Ridge, this is possible every night of your stay as every room has an elevated tower that houses a comfortable starbed. By day, it’s a wonderful place for siesta game watching as you can spot animals approaching for miles around.
Back on ground, Puku Ridge also has a hide off the main area that overlooks a popular waterhole – this is the place for close-ups of an endemic Thornicroft’s giraffe or Crawshay’s zebra. All rooms have Wi-Fi, air conditioning and cooling plunge pools, and game drives, night drives and walking are all in the hands of expert guides.
