Staycation · Karen · Nairobi
A proper staycation in Nairobi
Private cottages, a heated pool and a lush jungle garden in peaceful Karen. Disconnect, relax and recharge without leaving the city.
Why Jungle Oasis
The staycation your weekend has been waiting for
Jungle Oasis is a small, owner-run compound of private cottages and apartments set in a tropical garden. It is designed for people who want the feeling of a proper getaway without the effort of leaving town. Everything you need for a relaxing weekend, or a longer reset, is inside the gates.
Stay, don't travel
Why a staycation makes more sense
A short getaway should feel restful from the moment you arrive, not after a full day on the road. Staying local means more of your weekend is actually spent unwinding.
A garden that feels far away
Mature trees, birdsong and hidden corners. The compound reads as a private forest, not a city stay.
Time back for what matters
Trade travel logistics for slow mornings by the pool, long lunches and unhurried evenings around the firepit.
Choose your cottage
Five unique units, each with its own vibe
Every unit has its own entrance, kitchen, outdoor space and personality, so your stay feels truly private. The Studio is an intimate hideaway for couples or solo travellers. Cottage 1 and Cottage 2 are detached two-bedroom cottages with their own gardens and distinct character. The Poolside 2 Bedroom Apartment is a light-filled favourite for remote workers and small families. The Duplex sleeps up to six across three bedrooms with a private hot tub on the terrace — our largest unit for groups and extended family stays.

On the property
What fills the day
The garden, pool, court and firepit are shared between guests, so a staycation here is as active or as slow as you'd like it to be.
Heated pool with waterfall
Warm laps at sunrise, easy afternoons on the loungers. One of the few genuinely heated pools in Nairobi, ready whatever the season.
Full-size pickleball court
A private court inside the compound with paddles and balls provided. Beginners welcome, competitive rallies encouraged.
Firepit, gardens and quiet corners
As the light drops, the firepit becomes the meeting point. Wood, seating and the sound of the garden included.
Fibre Wi‑Fi for remote work
Reliable fibre across the compound, proper desks in every unit and the quietest video calls you'll take this year.
Who it's for
Made for couples, families and friends
Couples looking to reset
Choose the Studio for a compact hideaway or the Poolside 2 Bedroom Apartment for a little more space beside the heated pool. Slow mornings, dinners at your own table and quiet evenings around the fire, no packing schedule required.
Families and friends together
Book two cottages side by side and share the pool, pickleball court and firepit. Kids roam the garden safely while the grown-ups actually get to sit down.
The location
