Safari Park’s Splendid Style and Splendour

Safari Park Hotel & Casino started off in 1974 as Spread Eagle Hotel, initially popularised by weary tourists on their way to and from Mount Kenya and local residents wanting to get away from the noise and confinement of the city of Nairobi.

Paradise Investment & Development Company Limited – Korea acquired the then 3-star, 105-roomed property and turned it into the Safari Park Hotel & Casino. It is part of the leading hotel chain and member of the Paradise Group with marked hospitality presence in Korea, Busan, Jeju, Incheon, Dogo and Nairobi.

The current five-star luxury hotel, just  minutes away from the city centre, stands on 50 acres of beautifully manicured gardens .The rooms have high speed wireless and cabled internet connectivity and satellite TV, with safe and 24 hour room service.

Safari Park’s five international specialty restaurants offer the finest dining, each uniquely decorated in traditional themes ranging from the Far East to Europe. A variety of great entertainment and leisure facilities are available; the Sensual Safari Cats Dancers & Acrobats, Paradise Casino, Cats Club Discotheque and Piano Bar.

With its wide range of contemporary to traditional designed meeting and banquet venues with a capacity for over 1,200 delegates, Safari Park is the home for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) market.

Voted Kenya’s top wedding venue, with varieties such as ballroom or garden ceremony, beautiful reception and honeymoon, Safari Park’s wedding portfolio offers a wide range of wedding packages and themes, designed to suit all tastes and budgets.

The hotel offers a wide selection of windowed, naturally-lit rooms, which feature en-suite marble bathrooms with wooden polished floors, antique African themed four-poster beds and furniture.

There are 204 guest rooms; 168 deluxe rooms, 21 junior suites, 8 business suites, 6 executive suites and 1 presidential suite spread out in 9 storey blocks with 2 floors each and rear and front private balconies overlooking the beautifully manicured gardens.

The hotel has 24-hour concierge services and offers high quality 24-hour room and laundry services. A complementary shuttle bus service is available twice a day between the hotel and the city centre.

Given its 20 internet-ready conference and meeting facilities, Safari Park is easily the largest conference and events venue in Kenya. This is backed by a complete business support service and an integrated conference planning and management team. That is why it is a household of international conferences in Africa.

The Jambo Conference Centre is the largest facility of its kind in East and Central Africa South of the Sahara with a capacity for 1200 delegates. The Paradise Gardens and Theme Park are magnificent for outdoor and teambuilding training.

The hotel prides itself on proficiency in organising private cocktail parties, receptions, bush dinners and a whole range of customised incentive events. It offers world class cuisine and refreshing ambience, with five international restaurants.

All the restaurants and bars in the hotel have distinct themed décor - from the international fare of the central Café Kigwa, which blends Parisian café with New York Deli; or the rustic Italian charm of La Piazzetta, which offers delicious home-made Italian pasta and traditionally-made pizzas hot from the wood-burning oven
