Welcome - Karibu
Welcome to The Gathering Nest, opening in mid 2025, we warmly invite you to stay overnight or simply escape the city for a day visit to swim, play, relax, picnic, or effortlessly enjoy sundowners while the sun sets over the endless savannah below.
Nestled gently into the edge of the magical, awe-inspiring, and majestic Great Rift Valley in Kenya about 1.5 hours outside of Nairobi, we are completely off grid, utilizing only regenerative sources of energy (solar) and harvesting rainwater.
We look forward to hosting you later this year! Until then, we welcome you to gather with us by exploring our family "Cookbook" filled with our stories of cooking, gathering, and travelling near and far from The Gathering Nest.
Welcome. Karibu. We are glad you are here.
