The Emakoko

CEDARBERG RATING

Premier

Overview

The Emakoko is a family run luxury lodge beautifully built into the side of a valley on the Mbagathi River, on the border of the Nairobi National Park. Great care has been taken to incorporate the beautiful fig trees which grow on the cliff where the lodge is situated. All 10 rooms look straight over the river and into the Park.

The Emakoko allows people to start and finish their safari in the wildlife environment they have travelled so far to enjoy. Within 20 minutes of clearing customs they can now be viewing game in the amazing Nairobi National park. The only “transfer” delays likely to be encountered en route to or from The Emakoko are the natural pauses to watch a pride of lions or waiting for a Rhino or journey of Giraffe to cross the road.

Whether you are enjoying an Emakoko cocktail in the viewing area or simply having a coffee by the pool overlooking the river, relaxation is assured. There is also the chance to see our resident hippo, who also likes to keep an eye on you. He can be seen grazing on the lawn outside the rooms in the early evening or the morning.

Rooms

Rooms

With ten rooms & a Private House, The Emakoko offers an exclusive and personal environment for guests to enjoy. The beautifully appointed rooms look out over the game park so one can fall asleep to the sounds of Africa, a lion roaring or the cry of a lone hyena, an amazing contrast to the sounds of traffic, ambulances, fire engines and dogs barking which are the normal sounds of any sleeping city.

There are five rooms on the same level as the main areas and a further five rooms with the most spectacular views positioned on top of the cliff, overlooking the valley. The climb to the upper rooms is well worth it.

Each room has an ensuite bathroom with both a bath tub and a shower and each room has it's own private verandah.

Emakoko Private House

The Emakoko has recently opened a Private House. The House has two ensuite bedrooms with a shared living / dining area. It also has it's own pool. The Private House is situated on the upper level with great views over Nairobi National Park.
