The full-size bathroom features a hot shower and modern fixtures, ensuring a refreshing start to your day. Outside, unwind at the large dining table, sunbeds, and seating area, perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons or evenings by the outdoor fire.
Located in the serene Karen neighborhood, The Brandy Bus is just minutes away from some of Nairobi’s best attractions, including the Karen Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, and the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. A variety of restaurants, cafés, and shopping spots are also nearby, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area.
The Brandy Bus is all about charm, character, and adventure. This is a glamping stay, so while it has modern comforts, it remains a tiny home-style experience with limited space inside.
