A Boutique Hotel in Nairobi, Made for a Different Kind of Stay
Jungle Oasis is a small boutique property in Karen, Nairobi: four private stays in a green garden, with a heated pool, pickleball and a private chef on request.
What is Jungle Oasis?
A different kind of boutique stay in Nairobi
Jungle Oasis is boutique accommodation in Nairobi's Karen neighbourhood, made up of four private stays set around tropical gardens. There are no corridors or lobbies. Each stay has its own entrance, living space and kitchen, and guests share a heated pool, a firepit and a pickleball court with only a handful of others.
It is owner-run, so the details are personal: a host who answers your messages, a private chef if you would like one, and help with airport transfers. Most guests come for a night and find themselves spending whole afternoons at the property, which is the point.
Four private stays

More than somewhere to sleep
What sets Jungle Oasis apart from a conventional Nairobi hotel is how much of the stay happens at the property itself.
Private chef
A private chef may be arranged in advance to cook breakfast and, where required, lunch or dinner at your stay. Eat at your own pace, at your own table, without planning every meal around restaurants.
Groceries, arranged around you
Where available, groceries can be arranged before you arrive, based on the dietary preferences you share with us. Useful for families, longer stays and anyone who prefers eating in.
Heated pool
The heated pool and waterfall sit at the centre of the Jungle Oasis gardens, with loungers in the shade. Somewhere to spend a slow afternoon, not just a quick swim.
Pickleball
A full-size pickleball court in the garden, free for guests to use. An easy game before breakfast or a friendly match with the people you came with.
Evenings by the fireplace
Nairobi evenings can be cool. Cottage 1 has an indoor fireplace, and the outdoor fireplace and firepit in the garden are there for guests who want to sit out under the trees.
Celebrating something?
Birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions: let us know when you enquire and we can discuss personalised arrangements, depending on what you have in mind and availability.
The setting
Space, greenery and a slower side of Nairobi
Jungle Oasis sits in a residential compound in Karen, surrounded by mature trees, bamboo and planted gardens rather than traffic and tower blocks. The cottages open onto their own verandas and private gardens, paths lead through the greenery to the pool and firepit, and mornings start with birdsong.

Location
Staying in Karen, Nairobi
Karen is one of the greener, quieter parts of Nairobi and a practical base for leisure travellers. Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage are about 20 minutes from Jungle Oasis, though Nairobi traffic varies, and the Karen Blixen Museum is in the neighbourhood itself.

Kenya itineraries
Before or after your safari
Many Jungle Oasis guests are passing through Nairobi on a wider Kenya trip. A night or two in Karen gives you time to recover from a long flight before heading out, or to slow down by the pool before flying home. When you book, you can add our Private Nairobi Wildlife Experience, a guided day covering Nairobi National Park, the elephant orphanage and the Giraffe Centre.
Plan it with our guide to safaris in Nairobi or read about a safari stopover.
Your stay, your way
Made personal
Because Jungle Oasis is small and owner-run, you have more say in how your stay works than at a conventional hotel. Choose the layout that suits your group, have a private chef cook for you or do it yourself, arrange groceries around your dietary preferences, mark an occasion, or book several units for a private group stay. Tell us what you have in mind when you enquire and we will tell you honestly what we can arrange.
Who Jungle Oasis works well for
Couples
The Studio or a cottage, a quiet garden, the pool and fireplace, and room to mark an occasion.
Families
Two ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen and living space in the Loft or cottages, plus the heated pool.
Friends & small groups
Combine units, share meals with a private chef and settle the score on the pickleball court.
Safari travellers
