Bush House & Camp Reviews

Warning: transfer from airport costs $30. Staff is terrific:I felt very secure hiring their driver John for a day to see the sights in the Karen area (giraffe feeding, Nairobi Natl Pk, orphan elephant feeding.Don\'t bother with Momba Village:vastly overpriced buffet lunch,& miserable zoo). Breakfast is eggs, toast & tea, included with excellent priced dorm room (6 beds, not 4). Bathroom is clean, but bring your own towel. Lovely grounds. Bring slippers/flip-flops: no shoes allowed on carpet.

All facilities are very good. Staff are nice and helpful. Breakfast provided is really nice. The only problem is we can only use one bathroom while we have 7 people. |We need to wait for long long time before all of us have taken a shower.

Misleading information.. "close to the airport".. it's actually miles away, our driver didn't even want to go there it was so far. This place feels very out of place in Nairobi, seems more like a mansion than a hostel. Not many other travelers around to mingle with. Would recommend a hostel closer to the centre of town.

They had listed on their site that they would coordinate pick up from the airport, so I asked (A couple of times and at least a week or two in advance of our arrival) for the service and never got a reply..or the service. We got in late and had to leave early the next day (We were just using them to for an overnight layover) . We had a little trouble finding the place, but were processed in quickly. It took about an hour to get there from the airport and about 30-45 minutes to get back.
