The Norfolk Hotel is a thirty-minute drive from JomoKenyatta International Airport and a short distance from Nairobi's shopping and business district. This 116 room Hotel is one of the world's most romantic hotels. The Norfolk opened on Christmas Day, 1904, and no other Kenyan hotel has as rich a history. It is said that Nairobi as a capital city grew up around the Norfolk. The hotel’s colonial English ‘Tudor’ style architecture preserves a time now lost. Hotel facilities include five gourmet menus and three bars, safaris and sightseeing services, conferences and business center (five air-conditioned conference rooms which can accommodate groups of 24 to 255 people), swimming pool, health club (gym, saunas, steam rooms, aerobics classes and massage), hair & beauty salon, shops and news stands, piano entertainment in the evening. All bedrooms are equipped with a mini-bar, TV and radio, direct dial telephone air-conditioning etc. All rooms have private bathroom with shower and bath.
Situated on the fertile banks of the UasoNyiro River, in the center of the Samburu Game Reserve in Kenya's rugged, semi-arid Northern Province, Samburu Serena Lodge echoes the robust rhythms of riverfront life. The rustic yet convivial lodge blends with the environment by making full use of native materials. All guest-rooms have private verandas that overlook the river where crocodiles feed in full view. The surrounding terrain is renowned for rare game; long-necked Gerunuk, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, and BeisaOryx. Leopards are frequent passers by. The accommodation is in 62 deluxe rooms, including 8 family rooms. A swimming pool is also centrally located to allow clients to cool off from the tropical heat.
