House of Waine

House of Waine is a cool retreat from the bustle of the Kenyan capital, located on the former coffee plantation of Karen Blixen (see the hand-drawn map on the grand staircase) and convenient for safari flights from nearby Wilson Airport. Expect a homely atmosphere, tropical gardens, and unflappable staff.
