Drinks & Nightlife
Budhaa Bar
Rhapta RoadNeighborhood bar minimum staggering distance :-)
The Westlands location is closer to the apartment, however I prefer the Ngong Road location has a better Vibe and a more eclectic clientele.
They brew their own beers and have good cocktails.
The Ngong Road location has live Salsa music on Wednesdays and buy 1 get 1 free drink offers on beers and cocktails .
They are good all round!

Kengen's Olkaria Geothermal Spa truly is a gift from nature!
It is located on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, about 120KM from Nairobi, right at the heart of the Hell’s Gate National Park, which was the setting the Lion King film and adjacent to Mt. Longonot National Park. It provides the ultimate destination for revellers, away from the hustle and bustles of the city. The breath-taking scenery creates a memorable experience.
Enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the Olkaria Geothermal Spa relax, refresh and revitalize your mind in the warm geothermal water, which is rich in minerals such as sulphur and silica known to cure diseases such as psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis among others. The blue lagoon skin treatment is natural and has no side effects. I tried it for the 1st time last month and it is truly relaxing.
Only thing when you 1st get there's a pungent smell in the air, but you'll soon not notice it once your bathing in the pool. They don't provide towels so bring one with you. The food is decent and in expensive.

If you'd like to spend the night I highly recommend Camp Canelley's. The food is good, the environment serene, eclectic international and local clientele and the sleeping quarters simple clean and affordable. Call ahead and make a booking they are very popular.
