Centrally and conveniently located, it is a short walk from the Karen Blixen Museum, Kazuri Bead Factory and an easy 10 minutes’ drive from the popular Daphne Sheldrick Elephant & Rhino Orphanage as well as the Giraffe Centre. Just 10 minutes away, it is also well-placed for game drive in Nairobi National Park where one can spot the big game with the city skyline in the background. The Southern bypass makes Wilson Airport, which is used for all safari flights in Kenya, a quick 20 minutes’ drive. The bypass combined with the new Express Way on Mombasa Rd makes transfer to/from Jomo Kenyatta a breeze.

Butterflies and birds are seen around the gardens among the sweet-smelling frangipani and brightly colored bougainvillea. Diners have a choice of different areas for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Blixen Pool Bar & Restaurant has an elegant and stylishly furnished indoor restaurant, cozy bar with a fire place and huge sky-lights, an adjacent pergola and garden right next to the beautiful heated pool.
