With views into the creek and the botanical garden, enjoy captivating sunsets, fish eagles scouting the creek or playful monkeys in our garden. Experience handcrafted Kenyan vanity products, special amenities and a warm hospitality in these spacious, modern African designed rooms. The floating bar above the Mida Creek is probably the only bar in Kenya where you can lay in a net above the water inside of a national park.
