The Emakoko
A fig tree cliffside lodge above the Mbagathi River, where Nairobi National Park’s wildlife begins 20 minutes after customs
Overview
Within twenty minutes of clearing customs, you can be watching wildlife at The Emakoko, a luxury lodge built into a valley side on the Mbagathi River, beside Nairobi National Park. Fig trees growing on the cliff were woven into the design, and every room looks across the river into the park.
Despite its closeness to Kenya’s capital, the park holds an excellent chance of seeing four of the Big Five, and over 400 bird species have been recorded here in a single day. Staying at The Emakoko directly supports the protection of the park and its wildlife, making it a natural place to begin or end a safari.
