It is also tastefully furnished with parquet flooring and ceramic tiles for wet areas. It is positioned such that it allows enough morning light to filter into the rooms and this makes it very comfortable and relaxing too.
Rurigi house is a modern house set in an idyllic part of Nairobi, Gigiri. Gigiri is a fifteen-minute drive from the city centre and is the favoured locale for International organizations such as the Africa regional headquarters of the United Nations (UNON) including the UNEP, UNDP, UNESCO, WFP, Habitat etc.
The US and Canadian embassies as well as a host of other diplomatic corps and corporate executives are also resident here in Gigiri. It is an urban area with access to modern facilities such as the prestigious Village Market shopping complex with plush restaurants, banks, cinemas and many more social amenities
Living, Dining and Bar Area
This is quite exquisite with high ceilings and attractive lighting. The living room has a warm and friendly ambience and it flows into the large dining room which also doubles as the bar area. In one corner there's a computer (with high speed Internet access) available for guests. This room opens to a balcony where again, one can enjoy the calmness of the outdoors.
Kitchen
This house has two kitchens. The main kitchen is on the upper floor and this is essentially the area where all meals are prepared. It is quite spacious and has a breakfast area. The other one (situated on the ground floor) is available for self catering guests. Both kitchens have modern kitchen equipment

Meet Ben and the team, your local connection in Nairobi. In recent years we've seen our city transform itself from a dusty city, at times dangerous and lacking in glamour, into one that is clean, vibrant and safe. We greatly welcome the increased numbers of visitors that this has brought our country, but we also recognize the potentially harmful nature of tourism as well. Due to this, we are involved in preventing exploitation of Maasai villages by overzealous and unscrupulous tour operators, as well as working with hotels and conference organizers to encourage more contribution to worthwhile Kenyan charities.
