Voi Lutheran Guesthouse

Top choice in Kenya


Easily the pick of the accommodation if you're not staying in the park, the Lutheran Guesthouse occupies a handsome house on a farm 1km west of the Nairobi–Mombasa road. Rooms have some colourful touches, with local basket decor and zebra-print shower curtains, and it's a much quieter choice than anywhere in town. The turn-off is 1km north of the Taveta turn-off along the main highway.
