Wildebeest Eco Camp

Spend three nights at the camp with our own car, can only recommend it to everyone. Washrooms were clean and very tastefully designed, staff was very pleasant, restaurant served good food and the general ambience of the place is just wonderful. Whilst being quite central in Nairobi the camp is like a little green oasis shielding you of from the city with its close to nature design. We also did some nice activities in the form of swimming in the pool and playing some billiards (we also saw a table tennis table but didn’t try that one) wich are spread around the campsite. Cannot really say much about the option to use one of their set tents other than they looked nice from the outside and if they are anything like the rest of the camp I have no doubt they are great (at least the people using them seemed very pleased). All in all a clear recommendation, especially for its location right in the city this is the perfectly to choose.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Wildebeest Eco Camp. The property is set in an idyllic, spacious garden with a large pond at its center – a lovely place to relax and an excellent spot for birdwatching. The camp offers a range of accommodation options, from simple tents to solid rooms, making it accessible for most budgets. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the security team left a good impression. A particular highlight: we arrived early in the morning and were kindly allowed to check into our room right away – a generous and much-appreciated gesture. Both breakfast and dinner were good, with dinner offering solid value for money.||However, there were a few aspects that detracted from the overall experience. The safari excursions offered by the camp do not scale with group size and are relatively expensive at $170 per person – more flexibility and transparency would be welcome here. The packed breakfast was minimal, consisting of two muffins, an apple, a juice box, and a small bottle of water. Room value for money was average at best. Despite a confirmed booking through our travel agency – including a cancellation fee – we were charged approximately 10% more upon arrival. In our view, pricing and cancellation conditions should be binding for both sides.||We also found the camp’s “eco” label to be somewhat misleading. The solar infrastructure is not sufficient to power the camp, water is sold exclusively in plastic bottles, and there is no option to refill your own bottle – which undermines the sustainability claim.||Conclusion: A charming place with great staff and a beautiful garden – but there’s clear room for improvement when it comes to safari pricing, room value, and genuine sustainability.

We absolutely loved this oasis on the edge of the city!! we stayed 3 nights. 2 in a walled room which was fantastic and 1 in a tent which was equally nice! They also have dorm style rooms that dont have bathroom attached so there really is something for every budget ! The buffet dinners were delicious!! really great quality food. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They let us hangout after we checked out because our flight wasn't until 1130pm and arranged a driver to take us to the airport! everything was clean and well cared for. It is green and lush. The pool is so nice and crisp! The pond has lots of great birds. very nice sitting areas and plants. near the galleria mall which was nice shops and restaurants, near a homemade bead place, near "Boma" experience showing tribal homes etc, Nairobi national park (which is INCREDIBLE!)

Such a charming and peaceful find in the city. Feels like an oasis. The tents make it feel like you’re having an experience rather than staying at a regular hotel.

A unique, beautiful, welcoming oasis in the big city. Clean and well-kept tents and lush grounds. Wonderful stay to get over jet lag before joining friends arriving a couple days after me. Prices are much more reasonable than a western-style hotel, and the stay much more relaxing and different! Highly recommend.

A total oasis in Nairobi near the national park! What a gem of a place! We've stayed here a few times and we will be back I'm sure! The staff is so nice. The tents are great. We stayed a couple nights in the nicer walled rooms too which were great. The buffet dinners are fabulous! The pool is clean cool and refreshing! There are lots of birds around. Nice garden vibe!

Wildbeest Eco Camp proved an excellent base for our school trip of 26 to Kenya while we explored the Nairobi area. They were excellent hosts, and the rooms (large safari type tents with proper beds and lights, plenty room to stand), washroom facilities and restaurant/bar were great - Sam always had our tea and coffee ready for breakfast! The ambience was safe and peaceful with security on the gates, and plenty wildlife around to watch. Would definitely visit again.

I spent two nights here and I found it very pleasant. The staff were very efficient and friendly.|The garden and pool are pretty and clean. Nice little shop.|Good food.|Great communication during the booking process and pick up from the airport.|I think next time I will stay in a tent as they were really nice.
