Nyamai’s Serene Farm House

MadelonRating, 5 stars30 months ago

Our experience at Nyamai's serene farm exceeded all expectations, and we are committed to come back. Wycliffe and his family will do everything to make you feel at home. This Kenyan hospitality at its best! We stayed in the house for over a month with a family of four (two kids of 2 and 4 yrs old) and we felt part of the family. The house is beautiful, and has all that one may need. The access to the house is further from the tarmac than indicated on the Airbnb map. It is about 40 mins rough road which requires a 4WD. If you want to experience rural Africa, this is your place!

A modern kitchen area features a sleek refrigerator and a wooden dining table with metal chairs. Light oak flooring runs throughout the space, which is complemented by soft wall paneling. A hallway leads to contrasting black doors, while a decorative mirror adds character.
