It was very quiet,peaceful and most of all SAFE as Nairobi is quite dangerous and I traveled there as a single woman.
They do have great transportation to just about anywhere you wish to go in Nairobi and the staff was really great. The food was nice at breakfast and lunch but dinner was kind of an odd situation. NO lights in the dining room and candlelight dining was way too dark plus you basically had to eat what they cooked. Not really okay for such an expensive place.
I would stay there for 1 night but no more for the real novelty of the giraffes at tea time and at breakfast. Many very nice guests to chat and socialize with and that made it a very pleasant stay.
I will mention that the resort was shutting down the week after Easter for "renovation and refurbishment" for around 3 weeks. Perhaps that had an impact on the overall experience?
The giraffes were really quite nice to see, feed and learn about and it was really fun to meet other travelers from all over the world.
