Wildebeest Eco Camp

Top choice in Nairobi


This fabulous place is arguably Nairobi’s outstanding budget option. The atmosphere is relaxed yet switched on, and the accommodation is spotless and great value, however much you’re paying. The deluxe garden tents are as good as those at many exclusive safari places – for a fraction of the price, although the absence of mosquito nets is an issue. A great Nairobi base.

There's an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, light lunches and buffet dinners on a lovely elevated terrace.
