The Emakoko

The Emakoko is a uniquely positioned boutique lodge perched on the edge of Nairobi National Park, the only national park in the world within a capital city, offering guests the remarkable experience of waking to wildlife views (lion, rhino, buffalo, and hundreds of bird species) while remaining just 30 minutes from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

With only 10 rooms built into the hillside above the Mbagathi River gorge, The Emakoko offers exceptional privacy and personalised service in a genuinely wild setting. It is the ideal first or last night of any Kenya safari, a seamless transition between city and bush that avoids the jarring experience of beginning or ending a wildlife journey in a conventional urban hotel.
