Karen little paradise  

Tucked into rural Karen, Nairobi — a farm hideaway minutes from The Hub Karen and the Karen Blixen Museum. About a 15-minute drive to local sights, roughly 12–13 km from Nairobi National Park and Bomas of Kenya. A bed & breakfast and small resort with apartments, with free self-parking and a 24-hour airport shuttle (surcharge).

Think thatched round houses with Makutti roofs, verandas and views over fertile forest stretching to the Ngong Hills. The property runs a small farm with fresh vegetables, fruits and animals, and a separate gazebo perfect for sunset drinks or plotting a safari. Rooms are simple and comfy — air-conditioned guestrooms with flat-screen TVs, hot/cold showers, fans and daily housekeeping.

Wake up to farm-fresh mornings and Ngong Hills views. Complimentary wireless internet, garden and terrace spaces, picnic area and barbecue grills set the tone. On-site bar/lounge and a restaurant keep things easy; 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry services and free self-parking round out practical comforts.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free on-site parking and an around-the-clock airport transfer (surcharge) make arrivals and day trips straightforward.

Karibu restaurant serves traditional and international dishes using farm-fresh produce. Grab a complimentary English breakfast served daily from 6 AM to 9 AM, order limited room service, or fire up the barbecue for a casual evening.
