My husband and I are the proprietors of the Syokimau Safari Homestay. Located off Mombasa Road 20 minutes for the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (Code: NBO) provides overland travelers, adventure bikers, gap year adventurers and backpackers with a restful guesthouse to relax, refresh and restock.
Accommodation at the Syokimau Safari Homestay is in a small two bedroom guesthouse with kitchenette and bathroom. One room sleeps three persons on an alcove bunk bed. The second room sleeps one person. Guests can self cater meals or opt to dine with your hosts, the Muthamas.
While staying at the Syokimau Safari Homestay, you can learn Kiswahili and Kikamba, how to prepare Akamba food and how to germinate and care for dryland tree seedlings. You can take day trips to Nairobi National Park, Amboseli National Reserve, Lake Magadi, Olegesalie Prehistoric site, Nairobi Railway Museum, National Museum, Giraffe Center, Daphne Sherick Elephant Orphanage, Karen Blixen Museum, Nairobi Forest Sanctuary, Lake Nakuru National Park, Oldonye Sabuku National Reserve, Fourteen Falls, Ivovoani Farm Dryland Forest Sanctuary, Nzambani Rock, and Wamunyu Akamba Handicraft Center. You can take two day overland camping excursions to Amboseli National Reserve, Chyulu Hills National Reserve, and South Kitui National Reserve.
