Accommodations

Upon landing in Nairobi we grabbed our luggage as quickly as possible and grabbed a taxi. We consulted our taxi driver on places to stay and he brought us to his suggested hotel. After paying the tax fare we found ourselves at the Safari Park Hotel and Casino, located on Thika road (Kasarani). Thankfully there was just enough vacancy for our group and we checked in as quickly as possible. Everyone was pretty tired and decided to take a nap, but I was restless and decided to adventure around the hotel and check out the casino. As it turns out, the hotel also offers a plethora of ethnic dining options including a great Japanese cuisine restaurant that has gotten highly reviewed. I checked out the prices and found them to be reasonable and as a group we later decided to eat our meals in the hotel. I also found myself standing in front of the beautiful 2,000 sq foot swimming pool after adventuring for some time. Apparently a new addition was recently done, as there was a rather large stretch of shopping boutiques on the back-side of the hotel. I finally ended up at the casino, and as luck would have it, left my money in the room! I decided to still walk around and I’m glad that I did. The place was beautiful and I couldn’t help but marvel at the architecture. In the end, we were all very pleased with the hotel and were glad that the taxi driver suggested it.

$123 (per person/night) x 5 (adults) = $615 USD

$615 x 5 (nights) = $3,075 USD

$3,075 + $20 (taxi) + $500 (meals/food) = $3,595 USD

$3,595 USD = 365,180 Kenyan Shilling
