Falcon Heights Hotel Nanyuki for Stays, Dining and Events

Falcon Heights Hotel offers garden-facing rooms, outdoor relaxation, and dining at Fountain View Restaurant in Nanyuki. You can visit Ol Pejeta or the highlands during the day, then return for a swim, a meal with garden views, or an evening at Falcon Bar.

For guests on a Kenya safari, the hotel offers a town-based alternative to staying inside a conservancy. Its meeting venues, work-friendly rooms and outdoor spaces suit business visits and residential retreats. We match accommodation, activities and onward routes to the purpose of your stay, whether you travel as a couple, family or group.

Reaching Nanyuki and planning your arrival

We arrange road transfers from Nairobi and connections from Nanyuki Airstrip around your flight, Nairobi stay or previous safari destination, allowing time to settle into the hotel before excursions or meetings.

Visiting Ol Pejeta Conservancy requires separate transport, entry arrangements and activity planning. The selected gate, safari vehicle and any booked conservation experiences determine your departure time and daily schedule.

Fountain View Restaurant and evenings at Falcon Bar

Fountain View Restaurant makes the gardens part of the dining experience, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the fountain garden. Guests can eat indoors or choose outdoor garden dining when the weather permits.

The menu includes Kenyan breakfast dishes and meals such as herb-crusted lamb, “nyama choma” and mushroom risotto. Seasonal changes ensure variety throughout your stay.

Falcon Bar serves cocktails, wines and Kenyan beers, providing a place to relax after excursions or meet colleagues before dinner. Private garden dinners can be arranged for celebrations, offering a more personal setting for couples and groups.

Our booking checks cover meals included in your rate, dietary requests and arrange private dinners as needed. Meal coverage does not include all drinks or special dining services.

Swimming, fitness and time in the gardens

The pool and poolside service let guests enjoy an afternoon at the hotel without planning outings. Families can use the pool, playground and gardens, while couples and solo travellers can take garden walks or relax outdoors between activities.

The gym offers cardio machines, free weights and resistance equipment for guests who want to maintain their exercise routine. These facilities make the hotel more than a place to sleep after a day trip.

For residential meetings, the pool and gardens offer breaks between sessions. Families should confirm pool access, supervision requirements and childcare availability before arrival.

Conferences, garden events and residential retreats

Falcon Heights Hotel has venues for conferences, executive meetings and outdoor events. Capacity depends on the layout, particularly when presentations, dining and smaller discussions share the program.

Falcon Ballroom

The ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests, depending on the selected layout. Theatre, banquet and U-shape arrangements support different event formats, with projection and PA equipment available. It suits large conferences and gatherings requiring a central indoor venue.

Summit Room

The Summit Room accommodates up to 25 executives in a boardroom arrangement, with a screen and video-conferencing facilities. Its smaller scale suits leadership meetings, planning sessions and discussions where participants work around one table rather than in rows.

Garden Pavilion

The Garden Pavilion accommodates up to 200 guests and supports flexible outdoor arrangements with electrical supply. The gardens are ideal for celebrations and group functions, with layout chosen based on weather and event program.

Day-conference and residential-retreat packages combine venue hire, catering and, where required, accommodation. We also organize meeting equipment, transfers and group activities. The events team can discuss weddings and private celebrations.

Ol Pejeta and the wider highlands

Ol Pejeta is a key excursion for guests seeking wildlife experiences in Nanyuki. Game drives explore the conservancy, while visits to the chimpanzee sanctuary highlight care and rehabilitation efforts. Guests can add specialist rhino experiences for a conservation focus.

Please select activities before departure, not on arrival. Our excursion planning accounts for travel, gate procedures, game viewing and timed experiences to ensure a relaxed return to the hotel.

Ngare Ndare Forest offers walking trails, a suspended canopy walkway and routes to waterfalls and pools. When choosing activities, consider current conditions, local guidance and group fitness due to varying terrain.

A guided Mount Kenya outing requires separate route and fitness planning. Treat it as its own excursion rather than an addition to an already full wildlife day.

Guests interested in walking can include guided walking safaris in their itinerary, with access and arrangements confirmed for the chosen conservancy. Nanyuki town and the Equator marker offer shorter outings for those who prefer to spend more time at the hotel.

Including Nanyuki in a Kenya Safari

Start with an afternoon in the gardens, then head to Ol Pejeta for an excursion and dinner at Fountain View Restaurant. This gives both the hotel and wildlife a place in your holiday. A two-night stay allows one main excursion and an evening at the hotel. Three nights allow time for an additional forest or mountain outing, plus use of the pool and gardens.

Nights spent in Nanyuki should fit the overall Kenya safari itinerary, allowing enough time for excursions and onward travel. Our route planning considers your preferred destinations, available nights and next accommodation.

Nanyuki can precede Samburu or other northern destinations when the route allows, but it should not be included automatically in every safari itinerary.
