Muchiri’s Resort: An Escape At Ndakaini Dam

A popular sentiment that updating Muchiri’s Retreat, to it bring up to date, would indubitably elevate the experience ten fold, is valid. What is not in contention is its unrepeatable first-rate dreamy location, with views over the expansive waters. Recommended for those seeking a peaceful weekend getaway, Muchiri’s Resort offers seclusion and tranquility with a mix of relaxation, adventure, and nature. As it stands today, it is a budget-friendly getaway to enjoy intimate family moments.

Famous for its azure to emerald-green waters, depending on the reservoir level, encircled by a healthful verdant forested landscape, Ndakaini Dam is a timeless fairyland often sold short. The sheer dimension and immense capacity of the dam reservoir, with surface area of 280 hectares or 2.8 km2, resembles an alpine lake, if not prettier, backdropped by gentle hills within Kimakia and Gatare forests. It tends to have a charming and surprising effect on anyone who visits it especially soon after the rain seasons (in May and December) when it fills to overflowing.

Entry is free, and taking frolicky walks about its periphery is the most popular activity. Its remote setting and clear blue waters make it a perfect spot for quiet reflection and walking. It often feels a bit like standing in front of a calming and pretty lake scopic in all its glory. Peering out from the safety of the embarkment, with a well-kept grassed clearing, it is salutary to note that this picturesque dam, beautifully-sited in the tranquil and blithe rural village of Gatanga, is man-made.

Around Kenya, there is a collection of rare experiences, in middle-budget secluded hideaways, offering guests intimate encounters with parts of Kenya that rarely get under the limelight. Each getaway, secluded and away from civilization, is rooted in its local community and dedicated to showcasing their cultures.
