“To wake up to the magical sound of wildlife and birds, surrounded by pristine nature as far as the eye can see, is a life-changing experience; this is a place of true, untouched wonderment” — Jens Kozany, General Manager, Segera
The NAY PALAD Bird Nest was created to evoke the romance of Africa and was designed to touch the need for a contemplation of nature. Located in the heart of Laikipia Plains, the Nest is complementary to the regular Segera Retreat stay — and as such it resembles those under-the-stars experiences typically designed as fancy one-night experiences.
At the end of a safari-filled day, the Segera guests can be brought here, and after a champagne sunset and a picnic-style dinner enjoy a night “in the nest”. In the morning, breakfast is also held here, with the opportunity to observe animals gathering at the river bank. Elephants and elephants frequent the spot. After breakfast, it’s back to the Segera Retreat.
Crafted by the renowned architect Daniel Pouzet, the place showcases a blend of luxurious amenities and rustic, safari-inspired elements. Raised in the air and offering a 360-degree bird’s-eye-view of the surrounding wilderness, close to a river teeming with wildlife, the Bird Nest offers guests an unparalleled view to enjoy throughout their stay.
Nay Palad Bird Nest is designed for a romantic night for two, but this does not mean the suite lacks in luxuries. The rooftop “nest” — constructed from tree branches — makes only the top floor of the suite. One floor down, the main bedroom features all the amenities expected to be found at any luxury lodge, including an en-suite bathroom with solar-heated water and a flushing toilet.

The place is perfect for a couple, but it can be made to accommodate a small family, with children enjoying the adventure of sleeping out in the nest while the parents cozy up in the bedroom.
By the way, the yellow biplane in the photos is the very same aircraft that was used in the Oscar-winning movie Out of Africa. The machine is owned by Segera and can be used for excursions on a limited basis. Ah, the romance of safari!
