Hamilton House is a private 1936 home in Karen, a quiet, established suburb of Nairobi, rented to one group at a time – so the whole place is yours. Bedrooms open onto the pool, an inner courtyard or the gardens, which stretch to five acres of wide lawns, old trees, a rose garden and beehives. Meals are cooked for you and shaped by the seasons, and dinner sometimes moves outdoors to the wood-fired oven, by candlelight. Wilson Airport, for safari flights, is about 20 minutes away, and the Giraffe Centre and Nairobi National Park are under 20 minutes’ drive…




Dinner by candlelight at the wood-fired oven in the garden, with the whole house to your group.
