    Thank you to the wonderful hosts, Chris and Muthoni from Alpha Home Stay. This was truly a stay that felt straight out of a Disney movie. Alice and Lois greeted us after our long drive with the warmest hugs and the most beautiful smiles. The kids immediately jumped into the warm heated pool, and it set the tone for a magical visit. The food Alice prepared was phenomenal, filled with fresh, organic fruits and vegetables from the garden and yummy dishes. She even made us a large lunch that was an extra cost but absolutely worth it. Chris and Muthoni were so kind and generous. They joined us for a lovely evening filled with great conversation and memorable stories. Their recommendations for the rest of our trip were spot on. The dogs, Cassius, Olivia, Milan, and Shadow, were all gentle and sweet, especially with the children. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and having two bedrooms allowed us to get a peaceful night’s sleep. Make sure to visit the chicken coop in the morning, where Lois collects the eggs for breakfast. This stay was filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments. We would love to return!

    A bit expensive for what it is, even with 2 meals. Super remote although they can organise cars and boda bodas to come pick you up and take you to places for not much money.

    Staff lovely, great food.

    I stayed at Alphas Homestay 3 nights with a friend and it was wonderful! After one month in Kenya this was one of the best accommodations we’ve found so far. The homestay is located in a private conservancy where you can ride the bike and admire buffalos, zebras and giraffes all around. The room was very clean and the bathroom very spacious, there is also a beautiful patio next to the bedroom where we you can have tea and relax, we appreciate it a lot. We had breakfasts and dinners at the homestay that we really enjoyed, the girls served us delicious meals. As vegetarians it was very nice to find a place were we can get delicious home made vegetarian food ! Muthoni and Chris are great hosts they made us feel at home away from home. We can’t wait to come back in August 😊

    Great homestay! Owners are extremely friendly and great hosts. Alice and the rest of the team are the soul of the homestay and make you feel like you’re part of the family. We miss Alice’s cooking already! We also really enjoyed touring the private gardens. The owners have a great home and property! Last but not least, we will miss the “security team” of Shadow, Cassius, Fluffy, Olivia, and Mila :)

    We liked how private it is: no hotels or loud neighbors, we felt like the only ones in the whole savanna. We also enjoyed driving around the property right after breakfast, around 8.30 am as there always are wild animals pasturing. We met giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, warthogs, monkeys, gazelles and antilopas as we drove around. As for the accommodation, it is very clean, neat, well-maintained. There's everything you may need, including a bathrobe. The kid really enjoyed the swimming pool and playing with the host's dogs.

    Since its a bit further away from everything, you better take your time here. We had 2 days and that was definitely not enough :) ;)

    Super nice place ! Gigantic rooms, big shower with good water pressure (rare in Kenya :) ). Alice & the staff are super nice - always helpfull & great cooking ! The place is located in a game reserve, so you need to do 20 bumpy minute without paved road to get there. But if you do it during the day, its a free game drive :). We saw giraffes, zebras and pumbas every day

    There wasn't really anything I didn't like! The shower could be cleaned as some mould and a kettle automatically in the room would be great but no big deal as was provided when asked. Also would have preferred a net for the mosquitos but the 2nd night I slept better when spraying the mosquito spray before going back to the room...may be useful to advise guests to do this as it didn't cross my mind until I had mosquitos harassing me in the night!

    The owners made me feel so welcome! It's a gorgeous property with only 2 rooms for guests so it is so relaxing and feels very private! The staff were so helpful and friendly. The facilities were gorgeous! The heated swimming pool was a lovely addition! The grounds are lovely to walk around.
