NAIROBI BACKPACKERS IS TEMPORARILY BASED AT OUR FRIENDS PLACE,

WILDEBEEST CAMP NEAR NGONG ROAD, AS OUR LEASE WAS NOT RENEWED .

THEY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME.

WE ARE HOPING HOWEVER TO BE BACK IN OUR OWN PREMISES BEFORE THE NEXT HIGH SEASON, SO STAY TUNED, MEANWHILE, OUR TRAVEL AND SAFARI TEAM ARE WORKING AS NORMAL

Nairobi Backpackers was opened in February 2001 with the aim of providing budget travellers with an alternative to staying in cheap downtown hotels (most of which are becoming decidedly “seedy”) or having to travel out of the city to established campsites.

Since 2003, under new management, the facilities had been extensively improved and the number of people using the hostel has grown each month and repeat stays are becoming common. A number of overland companies have been using the hostel as a drop-off point for passengers wanting affordable accommodation outside the city centre, and as an option to camping. We pride ourselves on providing a "HOME AWAY FROM HOME" atmosphere and this is evident in the number of comments received by guests who have stayed.

Unfortunately, in late 2007, when our lease on the property was due for renewal, it was refused.

We endeavour to find a suitable replacement property in a similar location, but it is not easy, as many of the similar properties have been bulldozed to make way for high rise buildings.

We will not give up our search as we feel that the loss of our property has left a gap that is not filled by any other accommodation.

"A little bit of home.... in the heart of Africa"
