AMICABRE FARM STAY SAFARIS
Escape the bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Kenya’s countryside with our two charming farm stay properties, each offering a unique blend of comfort, nature, and authentic rural charm. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a solo retreat, or a group holiday, these homes provide the perfect base to relax and reconnect.
The two homes are privately owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Besseling, passionate advocates of sustainable living and rural tourism. Mr. Besseling and Mrs Lydiah Besseling are both the Directors of Amicabre Travel Services Limited, a renowned Kenyan travel company committed to delivering exceptional experiences across the country.
Each property is thoughtfully curated to offer an experience that’s as enriching as it is relaxing, set amidst scenic landscapes and steeped in Kenya’s agricultural heritage. The Kitale Farmhouse—also known as Jacob’s Farm House—serves as the base for an award-winning herd of Fleckvieh cattle, a dual-purpose breed for both milk and meat introduced to Kenya by Mr. Besseling himself. These hardy, natural grazers roam the grounds freely and are a testament to the Besselings’ commitment to high-quality, sustainable farming. Guests will have the rare opportunity to observe and learn about this unique breed in a working farm setting.
