Three and a half acres of old indigenous forest and a lake, our cottages woven into an ancient landscape next door to the farm Karen Blixen once called home. Not the city apartment. The Africa you came here for.
A genuine remnant of Karen's old-growth forest, with private gardens set within natural glades and cottages built in harmony with what was already there, not imposed upon it. A hidden pocket of Nairobi that most people will never find: tranquil, left wild, unlike anywhere else in the city. Half the property is indigenous forest, left as it was rather than cleared for lawn, the other half a lake edged by fig trees and acacias. Each cottage entirely private, self-contained, fully furnished and serviced. Lock up and go. The lake shore is shared ground for sundowners or fishing, birding or just sitting quietly in nature. Welcome home.
Each cottage is privately nestled in its own garden with two dedicated parking spaces. Contact us for current rates.
Through the gate, you can finally exhale. The forest feels like it's hours from the city. It isn't, and if you're working from home most days, the commute barely matters at all. JTL fibre-optic Wi-Fi runs throughout, backed by cellular failover if the line ever drops, and backup power keeps the Wi-Fi, TV and lights running through any short outage, so work rarely has to stop.
Direct access for the daily commute across Nairobi, without the town-centre route.
Nairobi's international airport, an easy run via the bypass.
Close enough to matter for regular domestic and charter travel.
The Hubb and Galleria for shopping, plus restaurants (Talisman, Mateo's, Open House, Cultiva, The Coffee Museum and more), all within easy reach, without living on top of them. Excellent medical and dental facilities close by too.
Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum, all a short drive away.
