August Escapes at Karen Plains Hotel: Where Art, Wildlife & Comfort Converge in Nairobi

This August, experience Nairobi like never before — where the wild meets wonder, and where your stay is more than just a room — it’s a curated escape. Nestled along Karen Road, just minutes from Nairobi National Park and Wilson Airport, Karen Plains Hotel invites travelers, safari-goers, and locals to indulge in the serenity of nature, the thrill of migration season, and the beauty of African art.

🐾 See the Wildebeest Without Leaving the City

August marks the peak of the Great Wildebeest Migration, and Karen Plains Hotel is the perfect base for wildlife enthusiasts looking to witness this natural spectacle. Our close proximity to Nairobi National Park, the only national park in the world within a capital city, means you can book a morning game drive and be back for an afternoon siesta in our cozy, art-filled suites.

We also offer private, customizable safari packages, and our concierge can arrange everything — from park permits to packed breakfast baskets.

🎨 Stay in Kenya’s First Art Gallery Hotel

This month, we are proud to unveil new installations by renowned Kenyan artists including Santana Sino, TARU, and an exclusive sculpture collection by a Sudanese artist debuting later this month. At Karen Plains, every hallway, room, and garden corner is curated like a gallery — offering guests a living museum experience.

Whether you’re an art collector, culture lover, or simply someone who values thoughtful design, Karen Plains Hotel offers a sensory-rich escape unlike any other boutique hotel in Nairobi.
