The house is built on the edge of an escarpment, which falls down 3000 feet into the Northern Frontier District. The views are stupendous - Lolokwe and Wamba Mountain dominate the far horizon to the north and Mt Kenya looms out of the clouds to the south. Laragai House is the private home of the Cecil family, and is available for rent when they are not in residence.

Antiques were brought over from Ireland, china from London and furniture from Rajasthan. The result is an eclectic mixture of styles and textures, which give Laragai its totally unique appearance. Laragai House can sleep ten in extreme comfort and there is plenty more room for children and guides. The sitting room is 'African Baronial', the roof is thatched, there is an enormous fireplace at either end, exquisite paintings grace the walls and medieval weapons hang above the doorways. The sound system is brilliant, there are many CDs to choose from and if there is a musician in the party, a full size electronic keyboard is wired to the amplifier. Laragai House has a full staff, all of whom are attentive yet discreet.
