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.
