    Me and my girlfriend Ramona stayed at Mwai's Kepro farm and enjoyed it very much! We had various conversations about all sort of things. We also learned a lot about cooking while preparing meals from own grown vegetables. So after all, it is highly recomendable to stay at Kepro Farm. We will come back!

    My name is Sergei, I’m from Russia. I spent 4 days at Mwai in Gataka Road and can recommend this place to everyone, especially those, who travel to Nairobi/Kenya for new experience and are interested in wildlife or just wish to find out what it means finding yourself almost on the edge of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Lost world” – with monkeys in the nearby forest, giant marabous, eagles and Southern Cross (at night) in the sky and Wi-Fi, bathroom, bed and little farm in the yard.

    The location can be highly recommended to all travelers – it’s within walking distance from David Sheldrick’s elephants orphanage, where every day at 11-12 a.m. “small” pachyderms are being fed, Giraffe Center and other places of interest, you will pass the Nairobi National Park with giraffes and white rhinos on your way from the airport and if you need to go one day somewhere on your own – you just walk about 300 meters and there will be a lot of local bike-drivers waiting for you, not to mention minivans to the city center.

    The hosts are very friendly, cuisine is delicious and the house – spacious and comfortable.

    Hi Sergei.
    I can only thank you very much for the kind 5-heart review of your stay with us. Ann is very happy that you were happy and welcomes back any time.
    Did you forget to mention your Amboseli experience - or there will be a second edition of the report?

    Cheers! Stay well!

How do I book?

Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.

When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?
