Nairobi Retreat

Welcome to Arimuni Retreat, Your Sanctuary in Nature.
Nestled beside the iconic Giraffe Sanctuary and overlooking the stunning Ngong Hills, Arimuni House offers an unforgettable retreat where eco-friendly living meets modern comfort.

Built in 2023–24, this 95% off-grid home runs on solar power and borehole water, providing a luxurious, sustainable stay.
Relax on the veranda, swim in the infinity pool, enjoy rooftop sundowners, or practice yoga amid the tranquillity of nature. Birdwatching enthusiasts will delight in over 80 species right on the property, and evenings offer clear skies perfect for stargazing or sleeping under the stars.

The house features beautifully designed indoor spaces, a home cinema, a rooftop terrace, and outdoor showers that immerse you in the natural surroundings. The friendly staff ensures a smooth stay, while nearby attractions like the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Nairobi National Park, and Karen Blixen Museum offer unforgettable experiences.

For safari enthusiasts, the owner runs Wild Times Safaris, a bespoke safari company that can help plan a beautiful, tailored safari experience. Be sure to arrange your safari well in advance to secure the best itinerary and experience.
Arimuni House is ideal for nature lovers, families, and anyone seeking a serene yet adventurous escape in Nairobi’s lush Karen suburb.
