Nairobi, Fairview Hotel

Our preferred base for safaris and mountain climbs in Kenya is the four star Fairview Hotel or the adjacent sister hotel Country Lodge which is located on the Fairview campus. All our groups stay at one of these two hotels and if they are on an all-inclusive package ex-Nairobi then complementary airport transfers are provided (to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport). The journey to or from the airport takes just under 30 minutes if there is little traffic but during morning, lunch and evening rush hours it could be as much as 60 minutes.

' The Fairview ' - is home from home for the many guests who keep coming back. To many travellers the essential Nairobi Hotel, has become a retreat country style; a haven offering friendly service, good food and clean accommodation, set in 5 acres of tropical gardens.

It is a statement of traditional values - as timeless as is its 1930's architecture, expressed in Nairobi Blue Stone and in countless arched windows; each of them offering yet another perspective - either botanical or architectural.

To others The Fairview is all about personal security and dependable service; a unique and convenient rendevous where the traveller, resident or visitor can meet, relax and enjoy dependable service that is above all 'value for money' - and away from the tourist track.

With its own resource of 'back-up' utilities - it is most reassuring to be confident of a reliable, clean supply of water* ( The Fairview has its own Storage tanks and Borehole, apart from the City Mains ), electricity ( Generators stand by to 'cut-in' ), good satellite reception on T.V's ( in all rooms ) and there is a well stocked larder ( able to cope with any contingency ).

Experience 'The Country Hotel in Town' - just 2 kms from the bustling metropolis of Nairobi City centre. Wake up every morning to birdsong. The Fairview truly provides a unique oasis close to the City - from which to begin or end your safari and for many, forms a base of operations from which to conduct an assortment of projects*.

* Water is purified to WHO standards and filters serviced monthly.
* the Fairview is the preferred choice of numerous aid organisations; backed by a fully equipped business telecommunications centre.

Country Lodge
If you are arriving late in Nairobi and leaving early you may consider the more economical Country Lodge hotel that is located on the same campus and shares many of the Fairview facilities.
