Accommodation
Graceful art deco touches adorn this boutique hotel fashioned in the style of a Scottish hunting lodge. Located in a forested suburb of Nairobi, the hotel is surrounded by gardens, terraces and courtyards, offering an oasis of calm. With just ten rooms divided between the original Manor House and the newer Garden Manor, an intimate experience is assured. However, a highlight of any stay here is the unique and close-up interactions with the Rothschild Giraffe which roam the grounds and visit the hotel for treats. The AFEW Giraffe Centre is just next door and a car and driver remains at guests’ disposal for visits to local places of interest, including the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage and Karen Blixen Museum.
January to March is hot and dry with the long rains usually falling from April to early June. Between June and October it is warm and dry during the day but cold at night. The migration usually arrives in the Mara from July with river crossings from Tanzania generally taking place between July and September. The herds rest in Kenya before crossing back to Tanzania in October/November. Kenya’s coast enjoys a tropical climate – April to June can be humid, tempered by monsoon winds. Nairobi is pleasant year round due to its altitude.
