Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
Built to harmonise with the local landscape, you'll appreciate the care we've taken to utilise eco-friendly materials and local products, so as to provide you an authentic taste of Nairobi. Wherever possible we aim to enhance the environment via landscaping and indigenous plant material reinforcement in order to provide you a well maintained and quality cared for natural environment. We also abide by a code of responsible practices in relation to energy conservation, waste recycling, sewage disposal, air emissions, pesticides, noise reduction and visual pollution, as we believe you'll have a better experience staying with a responsible operator that cares about a destination and works to keep it attractive.
Meet Ben and Jacky, your local connection in Nairobi. In recent years we've seen our city transform itself from a dusty city, at times dangerous and lacking in glamour, into one that is clean, vibrant and safe. We greatly welcome the increased numbers of visitors that this has brought our country, but we also recognize the potentially harmful nature of tourism as well. Due to this, we are involved in preventing exploitation of Maasai villages by overzealous and unscrupulous tour operators, as well as working with hotels and conference organizers to encourage more contribution to worthwhile Kenyan charities.
