“Just perfect!”
The camp has everything that runners need: gym, sauna, ice bath, great carbs-focused food, free laundry, hot shower. Also, a cozy shared area, balcony with a nice view, and a reliable wi-fi. Everyone working in the camp is kind and attentive. I really enjoyed my stay in the camp and focused solely on training and working remotely.

Overall, our stay went well and we had a good time. The common areas are very nice, the buffet was simple but tasty, and the staff were all very friendly – especially the women in charge of cleaning the rooms, who were truly adorable and helpful. The only downside was that the rooms were extremely humid. At night, the sheets and blankets felt damp, almost wet, which was very uncomfortable. For people with asthma like us, it was particularly unpleasant, but even for the rest of the family it made the experience inside the rooms quite difficult. Apart from this issue, everything else was positive and well organized.

Staff is so helpful. Cynthia will describe and do everything she can to make your stay comfortable. The offered services are so cool - ping-pong, sauna, even cryotherapy! The chef and her assistant will make you the most delicious breakfast you will ever have in Kenya.
