Neighbourhood highlights

Step outside the estate gate into a vibrant, authentic Nairobi neighborhood filled with food kiosks, vegetable stalls, chemists, shops, churches, and a mosque. The area buzzes with people, motorbikes, and matatus going about daily life. Beyond the bustle, you’re within easy reach of some of Nairobi’s top attractions: Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Mamba Village, Ololua Forest, and the Karen Blixen Museum. Galleria Mall (with Java House and ArtCaffè), the famous Carnivore restaurant are also nearby, while Ngong Road offers a variety of international dining options with cuisines from many countries. Kibera, Africa’s largest informal settlement, is just a stone’s throw away and offers a glimpse into Nairobi’s cultural fabric. Guests interested in cultural experiences, can visit with guided community tours.

My work: hosting travelers.
Most useless skill: I climb roofs.
I’m a hands-on host whose greatest joy is making your trip a truly successful experience, and my reviews reflect that. Family is close to my heart, and I love road trips, reading, marathons, jogging, walking, and hiking. More than once, I’ve taken guests on spontaneous mountain hikes! My aim is simple: to remove all inconveniences before, during, and after your stay. I’ll also help you discover Nairobi, and Kenya... like a local.
