Guest reviews
"Our stay at the The Dairy had us feeling like we had entered the Garden of Eden. Zebra, giraffe, warthogs, impala, Thompson Gazelle and waterbuck all graze peacefully on the endless green lawns. Fish Eagles soar high above the tallest Acacia trees. Families of Colobus monkeys swing from the branches of the purple Jacaranda Trees, which were in full bloom during our stay. We adored the friendly hospitality of our housekeeper and cook and Oria’s warm and welcoming energy made us feel as if we were part of her extended family. A truly extraordinary place, I absolutely cannot wait to return again and again."
"Wonderful hospitality and staff, lots of thoughtful touches and good food. Best of all are the amazing surroundings – lake views, acacia trees and wild animals everywhere – zebras, giraffes, warthogs and cheeky monkeys on your doorstep. Oria was a lovely hostess and very accommodating. The perfect weekend getaway for a family or group of friends to escape the hustle and bustle of Nairobi. Highly recommended!"
"We had a great time at The Dairy. The place was beautifully furnished and surrounded by wildlife. The house was amazing and we had some awesome walks around the 100 acre property. Oria has a great team of people who were very hospitable and made our trip very comfortable."
