We stayed at the House of Waine as a special indulgence at the end of our 3 weeks in Africa. This is a colonial house build in the grounds of what was once Karen von Blixen coffee estate ("Out of Africa"), although she herself didn't have (to my knowledge) anything to do with this house. The prpoerty is very safe,... More

House of Waine is in a beautiful location, with a pristine pool and gardens, an oasis for relaxing after a long flight or safari.

At the beginning of our trip, we stayed in the Safari room, before setting out on our... More
