To arrive at Rondo Retreat is to be whisked back to 1922 and the height of British rule. Consisting of a series of wooden bungalows filled with a family’s clutter, this gorgeous and eccentric place is a wonderful retreat from modern Kenya. The gardens are absolutely stunning and worth visiting even if you’re not staying.
Make sure you're around for the afternoon tea and cake on the verandah. Dinner is a fairly formal affair and you're expected to dress accordingly (no shorts). Profits go to a Christian charity.
