A Sarova city hotel on Kenyatta Avenue, a few minutes from the city centre, with a pool, a spa and gardens — a practical arrival night before a road safari leaves in the morning.
Sarova Panafric stands at the junction of Kenyatta Avenue and Valley Road, on the edge of Upper Hill, and is run by Kenya's Sarova group. It has an outdoor pool, a spa and gym, the Flame Tree restaurant in the gardens and a set of meeting rooms. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is around 18 km away, so it suits travellers who land during the day and set off early the next morning.
