Pallet Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 Breakfast was a hit! 💜 Loved the rustic ambience and the sustainable systems that have been put around the area. Also a great way to advancing society through employment of deaf waiters.

Masjid Rahma مسجد

Mosque

😐 Beautiful masjid but the amount of beggars and pan handlers after salaat is absolutely insane. Semi-organized. They are at both gates and security in the compound does not control the beggars. If you're light skin or look like a foreigner it will be a non-stop headache. I walked to the masjid and ba...

👍👍 The care and compassion that the keepers have for the elephants and rhinos is truly amazing and eye-opening. Highly recommend visiting. Really makes you look at these animals along with the men and women who protect them differently.

Restaurant

👍 The ambience is amazing👌🏾. The art gallery just as you walk in is beautiful. Service is great as well. We had the beef lasagne and spaghetti bolognese.

Cultiva Farm Kenya

Restaurant

😐 1. Food wise, most of the starters were excellent - especially the King fish ceviche, the baked camembert and the kimchi dumplings. I wasn't keen on the aged beef carpaccio, and the burrata was okay. 2. They only had 2 pizza options on the menu which was strange to me - don't they have a pizza shop...
