WARIDI | Slow Living Near National Park with Pool, Vinyls & Room Service.

Welcome to WARIDI, a stay inspired by slow living.

Tucked away in the peaceful greenery of Gataka, near Nairobi National Park and the Karen attractions, WARIDI was designed for guests who enjoy life’s quieter pleasures. Spend your mornings sketching with a cup of tea, put on a vinyl record as the afternoon light fills the room, or end the day with a warm shower after a walk through nature.

What we love most about this space is how intentional it feels. From the curated vinyl collection and record player to the sketchbooks, colored pencils, picnic basket, and cozy reading corners, every detail encourages you to slow down and be present.

Guests love the area for its unique balance of city convenience and natural beauty. You’re close to Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Karen’s cafés and restaurants, yet surrounded by enough greenery and birdsong to forget you’re still in Nairobi.

One of our favourite nearby experiences is the scenic walking trail that leads down to the river. It’s perfect for a quiet morning stroll, an afternoon picnic, or simply taking a break from the pace of the city. Guests also enjoy access to the nearby pool at Barizi Gardens, where you can spend an afternoon unwinding in the sun.

What makes WARIDI truly special is its personality. While many stays focus on where you’ll sleep, WARIDI focuses on how you’ll feel. Listen to vinyl records, sketch, enjoy room service from the neighbouring restaurant, pack a picnic basket for a walk by the river, or simply relax and do nothing at all.

Whether you’re visiting Nairobi for a romantic getaway, a solo reset, a creative retreat, or a weekend escape, WARIDI offers a slower, softer way to experience the city.
