Imagine a brilliant sunset of orange and purple over a vast savannah.  It is a warm evening, quiet except for birdcalls and crickets chirping.  Now add poolside cocktails, a fitness center, a full service spa, elegant dining, and a beautiful room furnished in African décor.  Dreams become reality at the Enashipai resort and spa in Kenya.  

Enashipai is a rare hybrid of luxury accommodations and beautiful Kenyan terrain.  Located just an hour’s drive from Nairobi, Enashipai is central to many national parks and reserves.  Nearby attractions include Hells Gate, where bird watchers can spot over 100 species of birds; Mt. Longonot; and Crescent Island.  Additionally, Enashipai can accommodate business meetings and weddings.

Guests at Enashipai can choose to stay in rooms or 2-3 bedroom cottages.  Luxury comes at a price:  rates start at 280 USD for a single room during the low season (April to June) to 650 USD for a double occupancy room during the peak season (July to October and during Christmas).

Experiencing Kenyan wildlife while staying at a luxurious resort is no longer just a fantasy.  Discover the best of both worlds at Enashipai.
