House of Waine can be found in Karen, about twenty minutes from the center of Nairobi. This charming boutique hotel offers 11 individually styled rooms whose names reflect their themes. Among them are Manyatta, which means home in Maasai, so the room contains a portrait of a Maasai Warrior by a local artist. Likewise, Tembo means elephant in Swahili, so the room is designed with hues and textures representative of an elephant hide. All the rooms have flat-screen TVs, complimentary WiFi and large marble bathrooms. In addition, there is a cottage with a private dining room and a small private garden. Take a stroll through the garden or relax by the outdoor pool. Visit the Karen Blixen museum, located just half a mile away, which features props from the film Out of Africa. Other attractions located within three miles include the Giraffe Centre, Sheldricks Elephant Orphanage and Nairobi National Park.
