At Sandai Farm, we believe in holistic living – the idea that every aspect of our lives should be in balance, from our physical health to our mental and emotional well-being.
That’s why our farm is not just a place to stay, but a place to rejuvenate and reconnect with yourself and nature.
Our cozy rooms and cottages are designed to provide a comfortable and tranquil atmosphere, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Each cottage has everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing stay.
Our farm is family-friendly, with plenty of activities to keep kids of all ages entertained. From horseback riding and nature walks to archery and bird watching, or hanging out with our five friendly dogs, there’s always something to do at Sandai Farm.
Our menu is a fusion of African and international cuisine, made with fresh and locally sourced ingredients.
At Sandai Farm, you’ll find a sense of community and belonging. Our staff and guests are like family, and we believe in creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.
So whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a family vacation, or a place to reconnect with nature, Sandai Farm is the perfect destination. We invite you to come and experience the magic of our farm and the beauty of Kenya.
Posted on Google Leah Schulz Wonderful stay! Sandai exceeded our expectations and was the perfect fit for our group, which both camped and stayed in one of the cottages. The team is super helpful, welcoming, and wonderful to chat with. We felt very taken care of and enjoyed ending our nights by the indoor fireplaces and outdoor fire pits. It’s an ideal spot for those looking to recharge or have a bit of adventure near the Aberdares.Posted on Google Francois Hutter Wonderful.
