Nairobi Pool Nest is a quiet house on the edge of the city, looking out over the Ngong Hills and a 130 acre giraffe sanctuary. There is a 13 metre infinity pool, a rooftop terrace for sundowners, and warthogs that wander through the garden most afternoons. Nairobi National Park is ten minutes away, so the safari feeling starts before you have properly left town.

Why it's on Weaver

Ten minutes from Nairobi National Park, with a giraffe sanctuary along the fence line and the Ngong Hills in front of you. It is a city stay that does not feel like one.

Around Karen and Langata

The giraffe sanctuary borders the property and is a two minute walk. The Giraffe Centre, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Karen Blixen Museum are all close, and Nairobi National Park is five to ten minutes away. Wilson Airport is nearby, with Jomo Kenyatta roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic.

What guests say

A true hidden gem in the Nairobi suburbs! This place is a luxurious and calm sanctuary, perfectly located just a stone's throw away from Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre. It is a peaceful, protected haven that we highly recommend.

Norman, France

Probably one of the best places you could stay in Nairobi. A beautiful new home with great open spaces and direct access to a lovely pool and gardens. Our girls loved the warthogs who visited as well as the two wonderful friendly dogs. Being next to the giraffe sanctuary was a huge bonus.

Tim, UK

A wonderful, beautifully designed and landscaped oasis very close to some of the main attractions of Nairobi, walking distance to the Giraffe Centre and a few minutes' drive to the gate of Nairobi National Park. Highly recommended!
