"I went with my husband and kids and it was wonderful. The à la carts restaurant was very good for dinner and there were lots of options for dinner. There were lots to do for kids including a maze, an animal orphanage, fishing and taking their dogs out for a walk. Benson ensured we were happy with our rooms so we appreciated his cheerful help! We had a great time! They arranged a wonderful safari for us with Francis. Ask for the feather pillows."

"We came to Nanyuki to visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy. From the moment we arrived and even leading up to our arrival, the staff was amazing. Anthony helped us directly with most things, and he was so accommodating. It was cold and we arrived a bit late, but he had a fire built and ready for us to light if we needed and had hot water bottles on each bed which was so nice. I had never used one before, but I am now a convert. The pool and entire setting was beautiful. We stayed 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer."

Falcon Heights Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful oasis in the middle of busy Nanyuki! Very reasonable rates for a gem in the middle of town. 100% safe compound for foreigners (behind a large gate). Great workout gym with modern equipment, and affordable massages and other treatments in a relaxing spa area. Breakfast was the best I've had in Kenya (over multiple trips in 30 years). Bar is pretty cool. Staff helped me change the booking with no fees. One warning - the walls are a bit thin so if there is a party going on down the hall, you might as well just go join in the fun. The locals stay there will welcome you."
