The guest gets to interact with the host family. We serve traditional Kenyan meals with vegetables from our small backyard garden which is fresh and organic We are in a private area therefore  less interaction with the public, guaranteeing maximum security and full privacy.
I embrace diversity therefore making me host guests from all walks of life. Am very interactive and therefore the guests are open to talk to me regarding various subjects.
We are located in karen, Nairobi, a very green and peaceful environment away from bustle of the city. We are close to tourist attractions; Karen blixen museum, giraffe centre, kazuri beads, bomas of Kenya, Nairobi national park, elephant sactuary , karen country club, and many restaurants . We are 20mins to Wilson airport. We are also near the shopping malls; waterfront karen, The Hub karen, The wells karen and Galleria mall.
