Featured Accommodation

Ole Sereni Hotel

Nairobi

The City Hotel By The Game Park. Ole-Sereni Hotel is amongst the leading airport hotels in Nairobi for business and leisure travellers, events, conferencing and weddings. With stunning greens and golds of Nairobi National Park's landscape punctuated by giraffe, zebra, antelope, and buffalo lounging near our waterhole, the views alone make Ole-Sereni Hotel one-of-a-kind.

Sarova Shaba Game Lodge

Samburu

Sarova Shaba Game Lodge is located in a natural oasis in the heart of the Shaba Game Reserve just east of Samburu, or one can say, in the "Born Free Country" that Joy and George Adamson called home for many years. It is set along the bank of the Ewaso Nyiro River laid out around the natural springs that flow into the river. The Lodge has a virtual mini forest of indigenous trees, a fish pond and a large free form swimming pool.

Panari Resort Nyahururu

Nyahururu

Escape to a luxury hideaway waiting for you in the heart of 20 acres of tranquil forest. The Panari Nyahururu Resort overlooks the serene gorge of the spectacular Thompson Falls and the Ewaso Nyiro River. Every cottage is equipped with a fireplace to keep you warm and cozy as you take in the breathtaking views of the gorge from the privacy of your own room. The buildings are designed in an English colonial style with a luxurious modern twist.

Lake Naivasha Sopa

Lake Naivasha

Set in one hundred and fifty acres of grassland studded with Acacia bushes and trees, the resort is not only home to our resident giraffe, waterbuck and both Vervet and Colobus monkeys, but it is also a night stop for the hippos when they leave the lake every night to come and trim the grass on our expansive lawns.

Ashnil Mara Camp

Maasai Mara

Ashnil Mara Camp is arguably in one of the very best positions in the Masai Mara for game viewing and also provides the perfect setting to sit and relax at the end of a exciting day of game drives. The Ashnil Mara Camp is a 4 – 5 hour drive from Nairobi or there are daily scheduled flights from Nairobi to the Masai Mara which take just 45 mins.
