Heated pool and tropical gardens at Jungle Oasis, a boutique weekend getaway in Nairobi

Weekend Getaway · Karen · Nairobi

A weekend getaway in Nairobi, without the long drive

Private cottages, a heated pool and a lush jungle garden in peaceful Karen. Switch off from the city and spend quality time together, just minutes from home.

Why Jungle Oasis

The ideal weekend escape, right here in Nairobi

Jungle Oasis is a small, owner-run compound of private cottages and apartments set in a tropical garden. It is designed for Nairobi residents who want the feeling of a real weekend getaway without spending hours on the road. Everything you need to relax, reconnect and recharge is inside the gates.

Make the weekend count

Why Jungle Oasis is the perfect weekend getaway

A short escape should feel restful from the first hour. Staying in Karen means more time enjoying the pool, garden and firepit, and less time travelling.

No travel day, more weekend

Leave the city and arrive within minutes. Your weekend starts the moment you check in, not after a long drive.

A private garden escape

Mature trees, birdsong and hidden corners make the compound feel like a destination in itself.

Time together, not logistics

Trade packing, queues and fuel stops for slow mornings, poolside afternoons and firepit evenings.

Choose your cottage

Five unique units, each with its own vibe

Every unit has its own entrance, kitchen, outdoor space and character, so your weekend feels genuinely 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 design. The Poolside 2 Bedroom Apartment is a light-filled favourite for remote workers and small families. The Duplex is our largest unit, sleeping up to six across three bedrooms with a private hot tub on the terrace — a favourite for larger family weekends and group escapes.

How to spend the weekend
