Arimuni house and garden in Karen, Nairobi
Karen · Nairobi · Kenya

A private home where
Africa comes to you.

A privately hosted home bordering the Giraffe Sanctuary and overlooking the Ngong Hills. Exclusively yours, for 2 to 14 guests.

An Introduction

Arimuni is a calm, nature-led home where nature, space, and quiet come together.

Bordering the 130-acre Giraffe Sanctuary in Karen and overlooking the Ngong Hills, Arimuni offers a rare sense of peace within Nairobi. Step outside and wild Africa is right there. You might see giraffes wandering by, warthogs in the garden, mongoose and hares, and extraordinary birdlife in the trees.

This is not a hotel. It is a privately hosted home: spacious, thoughtful, and entirely yours.

Our Philosophy

The feeling of safari, in the heart of Nairobi.

Arimuni was designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, offering a rare sense of wilderness and tranquillity in the heart of Nairobi.

Designed as a contemporary Mediterranean home with a refined African sense of space, it captures uninterrupted views of the Ngong Hills and the neighbouring Giraffe Sanctuary, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Rather than imposing on the landscape, Arimuni was designed to become part of it. Resident warthogs roam the gardens, more than 84 bird species call the property home, and giraffes can occasionally be spotted from the rooftop terrace.

We wanted to create a home that sits lightly within its surroundings. Arimuni operates largely off-grid with solar power, battery storage, rainwater harvesting and biodigester systems, and was built with plantation-grown Meru oak rather than indigenous hardwoods.

A place where nature, timeless design and warm hospitality create an experience unlike anywhere else in Nairobi.
