Unique and wonderful property for a short stay in Nairobi - easy accessibility from airport without having to deal with CBD traffic. African Heritage House was a welcome change from chain hotels - unique decor, a story behind every artefact in every room, staff that clearly feel they have a mission rather than just a job and a wonderful experience overall for our family of four. Tom and Paul were excellent in communicating in advance, and personalising our stay - they emailed in advance to ask if we had any special dietary needs. Zach and his support cooked up a uniquely memorable milti-course breakfast and lunch for us - outdoor dining with the best possible view overlooking grounds and Nairobi National Park. We received an extensive tour of the property and exhibits / collection from Ilari, who was extremely knowledgeable about the provenance of all the ariefacts on display. After we checked out in the late afternoon (well after regular city hotels would have evicted us)), and complementary evening tea/ coffee, Tom even dropped us off at the airport in his SUV because there were some demonstrations in the city, which might have hinders Uber / public transportation. Very memorable experience and stay - would highly recommend!

If you are in Kenya for evening day this is a must visit place. This is like staying in a museum of African art. The house is complete furnished with art pieces but most are usable and should be used. the tour that goes with it is incredible. Not to mention the food.
