An all-suite, butler-serviced manor in leafy Karen with views to the Ngong Hills, blending colonial elegance with genuinely attentive service — a refined retreat away from the city centre.
A plantation-style boutique hotel in the green Karen suburb, close to the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum. Every room is a suite with butler service, and the kitchen has a strong reputation. A calm, indulgent place to bookend a safari.
Flying in
The nearest airstrip is Wilson (the hub), about 15 min by road from the lodge. See the real fly-in routes and how the rest of the region connects on the Getting Around map.
