You Must Know
Child Policy
Two children in their own tent pay 75% of the per-person sharing rate each. The third child in the same tent also pays 75% of the per-person sharing rate. For children aged 12 years: one child sharing with one adult pays 75% of the adult sharing rate, while the adult pays the full adult sharing rate. One child sharing with two adults pays the above child rate, but adults pay double tent rates. Children below three years stay free. Only one child sharing with two adults is allowed in each tent due to size constraints.
The Details
As the first accommodation allowed in Nairobi National Park, the camp offers a unique blend of untamed landscapes and urban proximity, with plains on one side and the city skyline on the other. The park is a wildlife haven, renowned for near-guaranteed sightings of rhinos, making it a must-visit destination.
Accommodation
The camp offers nine spacious and inviting guest tents, each designed to accommodate two people. Locally sourced materials and vibrant textiles create an exotic yet cozy atmosphere. Comfortable beds are equipped with warm blankets and hot water bottles to ensure warmth and comfort during the night.
Dining
All meals are homemade and served on a set menu. Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice. Drinks, including ice-cold beer, wine, and gin and tonics, are available at the fully stocked bar in the central mess tent. Meals at Nairobi Tented Camp are carefully curated to complement the safari experience.
Breakfast: A hearty and warming start to the day.
Lunch: Light and refreshing, served under the shade of olive trees.
Dinner: Gourmet options like soufflés and beef fillet, enjoyed under the stars.
Game Drives
Begin your safari adventure with an early morning wake-up call accompanied by freshly brewed coffee or tea. Early game drives offer the perfect opportunity to witness the sunrise and spot a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, buffalo, zebra, impala, and eland. The park is home to both black and white rhinos, lions, and, with some luck, the elusive leopard. After the drive, return to camp for freshly baked bread, coffee, and a hearty breakfast.
