Our Inspector's Highlights

Each of the 128 accommodations features a blend of natural stone and wood furnishings accented with colorful, locally made textiles. Thoughtful touches like fragrant lemongrass RikRak toiletries in the bathrooms and effective blackout curtains (a must after long flights or early safari wake-up calls) make each room a welcome respite.
Packed with hanging greenery and a curated art collection, Jinko is a casually chic spot for African cuisine and creative cocktails all day long. Flame-grilled fare is the specialty here, though the drinks and small bites on offer at the bar are equally as enticing.
Tucked behind swaying palms, the Nairobi hotel’s pool feels like a private retreat, complete with attentive staff delivering iced towels and passionfruit mocktails. The cabanas are prime real estate for lazy afternoons with just the right mix of shade and sun.
The 10,000-square-foot Kaya Spa is a wellness haven boasting five treatment rooms, a rhassoul chamber, a dedicated Thai massage suite and plentiful tranquility zones. Treatments heavily feature Kenyan bounty like coffee, chocolate, sea salt and even gold to refresh and rejuvenate with a local twist.
Tribe Hotel sits in Gigiri’s secure enclave, meaning quiet nights and easy walks to the U.N. or Village Market, one of East Africa’s largest malls. The concierge knows everyone, so squeezing in a last-minute safari fix or nabbing a dinner reservation at a hard-to-book spot is almost never a problem.
