We are a booking company, not a listings site.

What you see here is what we have photographed and written up. It is not the limit of what we can find — the houses we book most often are the ones nobody advertises. Tell us what you need and we'll go looking.

Escapes by occasion

How we work

Nobody posts a house here but us

There is no open sign-up and no queue of listings we have never seen. Every house on this site is one we went and found, and whose owner we agreed a rate with directly.

You book with us and pay us. We confirm the house and settle the owner ourselves — so if anything is wrong, there is one company to call, and it is the one that took your money.

How we choose houses

Built for groups

Most of what we do is coordinating twelve people, three arrival times and one birthday dinner. Tell us the shape of the trip and we'll match it to a house that can hold it.

A real booking team

You're not filling in a form and hoping. A person confirms availability with the property, prepares your quote and stays with your booking until you've checked out.

Kenya

Where we operate

Kenyan Coast

Diani

White sand, warm water, long lunches

A twenty-kilometre stretch of powder-white beach south of Mombasa, backed by coral rag forest and colobus monkeys. Diani suits big groups who want a beach house with staff, a pool, and somewhere to walk to at sunset.

Kenyan Coast

Watamu

Marine park calm, Swahili architecture

Quieter than Diani and built around a protected marine park. Watamu is turquoise coves, coral gardens and low-slung makuti-roofed houses — a favourite for families and small wedding parties.

Rift Valley

Naivasha

Lakeside escapes, ninety minutes from Nairobi

Close enough for a Friday-evening drive, far enough to feel away. Fever trees, hippos on the lake, and a strong supply of private houses built for weekend groups and corporate retreats.

Mount Kenya

Nanyuki

Highland air beneath Mount Kenya

Cool mornings, wide skies and the mountain on the horizon. Conservancy land, riding, and houses with fireplaces — well suited to milestone birthdays and quiet writing weeks.

Central Kenya

Nairobi

City houses for work and celebration

Private homes in Karen, Runda, Kitisuru and Lavington for executives, production teams and families visiting from abroad who want space rather than a hotel corridor.

Kenyan Coast

Lamu

Swahili stone houses, no cars

A UNESCO World Heritage island of carved doors, dhows and rooftop dinners. Lamu houses are characterful and staffed, and the pace is deliberately slow.

Southern Kenya

Maasai Mara

Private conservancy, exclusive use

Exclusive-use houses and private camps on conservancy land bordering the reserve — for families and groups who want the Mara without sharing a sundowner with four other vehicles.

Beyond the house

We'll sort the car too

A house in Diani or Naivasha is no use without a way to reach it and move around once you're there. Tell us the shape of the trip and we'll source the vehicle alongside the house — a saloon for two, a 4x4 for the park roads, a minibus for the whole group — with a driver, or keys in your hand.

One brief, one quote

House, vehicle, airport pick-up and the days you need it all come back to you priced together — not as separate bookings you have to chase and reconcile yourself.

Tell us what you need

Trust & safety

How your booking is protected

Sourced, not scraped

Every house here is one we found and agreed a rate on directly with the owner. Nobody can list a property on this site but us.

Written quotes

You receive a formal quote with the total, what's included and the cancellation terms before you commit.

One price, one payment

You pay us once by M-Pesa for the whole stay. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is owed on arrival.

You pay Bounty Escapes the published total for your stay. We confirm the booking with the property and settle them directly, so you deal with one team from enquiry to check-in.
