Advantages: Peaceful and relaxing

Disadvantages: Distance from airport

I stayed 2 nights at Safari park Hotel as part of a wonderful honeymoon in 2009. . The staff are lovely people, friendly and efficient and the grounds are immaculate and restfull with heaps of pools which I didn't have time to access but just looked wonderful. The whole place had a very oasis type feel to it and was just pleasant to wander slowly around and soak upo the atmosphere.

For us it was the place we stayed for our first night in Kenya and made a great introduction to Kenyan service which is just perfect.

The rooms are old colonial style - wooden floor, four poster bed with mosquito nets and the bathrooms clean. Water sometimes is slow and lukewarm but a minor problem, given what the locals would probably put up with. The breakfasts are 5 star, and the strange but wonderful BBQ restaurant is a delight to enjoy - even the camel was delicious!

Just be warned - it takes anywhere from 1.5 - 2.5 hrs to get to the airport - the traffic is chaotic so leave plenty of time!!!

Summary: The perfect start to a perfect honeymoon!
