Nairobi
Vibrant, cosmopolitan and wonderfully unexpected.
Nairobi is a city where the energy of modern Africa meets the untamed beauty of the wild. From its lively neighbourhoods and creative spaces to the extraordinary wildlife found just beyond the city, Nairobi offers a remarkable contrast of culture, nature and adventure. But beyond the familiar cityscape lies another Nairobi — one of hidden gardens, conservation stories, rich heritage and unforgettable experiences that reveal a different side of Kenya’s capital.
Experiences We Love
Where to Stay
Nairobi offers stays that reflect the many sides of the city. From elegant city hotels and intimate boutique properties to peaceful retreats surrounded by gardens and wildlife, each offers its own way to experience Kenya’s vibrant capital. Here, where you stay becomes part of the journey — placing you within easy reach of the city’s culture, conservation experiences, neighbourhoods and the wild landscapes that make Nairobi so distinctive.
The Emakoko
The Emakoko is a boutique lodge uniquely positioned on the edge of the Nairobi National Park. It is located a short 45 minute drive from either of Nairobi’s airports. The drive through the park itself, with its beautiful scenery and abundance of plains game is a superb way to start any East African safari. What better way to start a holiday by supporting the conservation of this unique area and in particular, by supporting the endangered Black Rhino which are prolific in this park.
Ololo Safari Lodge
Ololo Safari Lodge offers the warmth and comfort of a home with effortless style and personalised service.
Originally an old Kenyan homestead and since converted to a small family run lodge, Ololo is perfectly situated on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park.
Giraffe Manor boutique hotel in Nairobi is an exclusive hotel with a resident herd of wild giraffes. Owned by The Safari Collection, it blends extraordinary wildlife encounters with exquisite hospitality and a long-term commitment to giraffe conservation. It has extraordinary appeal that harks back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that it’s like walking into the film Out of Africa: indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author, Karen Blixen.
