With its rounded gables, white-washed walls and plenty of cosy corners to relax in, Karen Gables makes for a charming overnight stay in Nairobi before setting off on your Kenyan safari. The hotel has a fabulous location in the leafy, upmarket suburb of Karen – undisturbed by the bustle and traffic jams of the city centre. After a long journey, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool, a drink on the veranda or a stroll through the landscaped gardens, stopping to rest by the gentle river.

Originally built as the owner’s private residence, the property feels very cosy with an eclectic collection of furnishings and antiques. The seven rooms and suites are spacious and beautifully styled with window seats, French doors and four-poster beds. Superb meals are freshly prepared throughout the day, and there is easy access to attractions like the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”

Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”

Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91�� were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.
