Nestled within the lush woodlands of Karen, Nairobi Tented Camp is 100% solar and offers a tranquil retreat where nature’s rhythms set the pace of life. Towering indigenous trees form a natural canopy, filtering soft sunlight onto the forest floor, creating an atmosphere of pure serenity. The air is crisp with the scent of damp earth, carrying the calls of birds and the occasional rustle of small wildlife such as bush babies, tree hyraxes, and monkeys moving through the trees.
Carefully positioned between the trees, the canvas tents blend in with the environment, offering a sense of seclusion without sacrificing comfort. This hidden gem in Karen provides a perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity, a place where guests can immerse themselves in nature while remaining just a short distance from Nairobi’s bustling city centre.
