Is the The Emakoko for Me?

The Emakoko is a 24-bed luxury lodge artfully built into the side of a valley on the Mbagathi River on the border of Nairobi National Park.

Great care has been taken to incorporate the beautiful fig trees that grow on the cliff where the lodge is situated. All rooms look straight over the river and into the Park.

The Emakoko allows you to start or finish your safari in the wildlife environment, rather than a city hotel on arrival in Nairobi, and experience game viewing in the unique Nairobi National Park.

The only “transfer” delays you’ll likely encounter en route to or from The Emakoko are the natural pauses to watch a pride of lions or wait for a Rhino or Giraffe to cross the road. Relax and enjoy an Emakoko cocktail in the viewing area or simply a coffee by the pool overlooking the river.

You may also see the resident hippo, who likes to keep an eye on you. He can be seen grazing on the lawn outside the rooms in the early evening or morning.
