The Emakoko sits on Nairobi National Park southern edge – a safari lodge within easy reach of the city. Two rows of stone bungalows are built into a steep hillside, facing into the park and looking out over a winding river.
Beside the river, tall trees dot the long grasses, which are occasionally trampled by a wandering hippo.
The Emakoko is perfect for those wanting to escape the city and go straight into safari, or for those wanting to make that safari ambience last that little bit longer. Its location, although out of town, also makes it arguably more accessible than the city centre hotels, thanks to Nairobi’s challenging traffic.
The lodge’s 10 spacious cottages are set in pairs, each one opening out onto a rustic wooden balcony. Inside, a large bed is draped with mosquito netting, whilst a stone fireplace fills one wall, providing warmth during Nairobi’s cooler months. A large stone bathroom adjoins the bedroom, with a beautifully positioned bathtub that looks out towards the river.
The restaurant and lounge are set just above the valley floor, linked to the bungalows by stone walkways. High ceilings, comfortable sofas and wooden balustrades create a homely but open feel, with the sounds of the morning birdsong floating in during breakfast.
The Emakoko is located on a small patch of land adjoining Nairobi National Park, with access through the park itself. The lodge is just 30 minutes from both the domestic and international airports, traffic allowing.
