The Emakoko

The Emakoko | Nairobi

The Emakoko is a boutique hotel built into the slopes of the Mbagathi River valley, uniquely positioned on the edge of Nairobi National Park. Just 45 minutes from Kenya’s main international airport, this is a superb place to begin any wildlife safari and by staying here, you are directly supporting the conservation of the area and it’s endangered black rhino population.
 
There are just ten luxury rooms, designed for the ultimate in comfort with oversized beds and blackout curtains as well as private verandahs offering spectacular views across the game park. A relaxing lounge area and bar offers a lovely spot to sit with a coffee or cocktail while the main deck area is open, airy and informal - designed to compliment the natural and wild environment that its guests have travelled so far to enjoy. 
 
With direct access to Nairobi National Park - ‘The World's only Wildlife Capital’ - you can spend a wonderful morning or afternoon in search of that classic instagrammable shot of a lion standing on one of the park’s road signs with the city as a backdrop. With over 520 recorded bird species, a variety of plains game, leopard and a healthy number of black rhino, you will be surprised to see just how much you can tick off on that animal checklist. For something different, head over to the David Sheldrick’s Wildlife Trust to meet Kenya’s orphaned elephants or kiss a giraffe at the nearby Giraffe Center!
