Farm House Visit

We had such a wonderful stay at Sanctuary Farm, we all really enjoyed our time there. The activities were great and the vibe was absolutely amazing. What we felt could’ve been improved was the clarity of staff accommodation for our nannies. Maybe in an email during the booking process but we were happy to pay for the room that they stayed in but just have it clear in writing from the beginning would help budget wise for us. The waitresses and staff were very friendly and helpful at the restaurant and the food was very tasty.

Poa Place in the middle of Kenya

We had a wonderful time at Sanctuary Farm in Kenya. We are from the United States and our Kenyan friends joined us for 3 days in the beautiful Farm House. It was such a delight to wake up each morning seeing zebras and wildebeests right outside your house. We also took a boat ride to see the hippos and giraffe on Crescent Island. So many exotic birds, impalas and other deer. The house was spacious and clean and the beds are comfy. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to our needs. The only downside was the price of the food in the restaurant compared to the quality. We did not feel it was worth the cost. The remainder of our time, we fixed our own food. However, the amazing experience far, far outweighed the negative and I would say that spending time there was one of the best experiences we have had in Africa and we made wonderful memories with our friends, which will last a lifetime. Thank you so much.
