The atmosphere is serene and restful, the staff are courteous to a fault and very helpful. The facilities are immaculate and though there were many groups we didn't feel crowded. The only thing I would improve on is the sign posting, getting around can be a little challenging. I will definitely be back

Great place to go as a group. It was really amazingly quiet and inside the Athi Lukenya plains away from the hum of the city. We went as a church choir and this was great becuase it is a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment.

We held a conference at Lukenya Getaway for 75(ish) people from across the horn of Africa, North America and the UK. Having worked in hotels myself for 10+ years, I was blown away by the service we received. Rooms were spotless. Common areas were spotless (they even cleaned walkways and the pool deck daily - with soap!). Food was plentiful and delicious (the dinner rolls that were at the soup tables each night quickly became a favourite). Service was a solid 10 out of 10 in every area (front of house, housekeeping, F&B etc). I will absolutely recommend Lukenya Getaway to anyone, whether you're planning a conference or just looking for a place to rest and recharge! Shout out to Paul, Edna, James and the rest of the staff for their brilliant customer service! PS as a Canadian, it was a nice bonus to see monkeys and other wildlife wandering around that I don't see at home ever.

We visited this place for a one night stay for 4 adults and asked for adjacent rooms, which they graciously offered us. Check in was a breeze and (I forget his name) was so kind and very inviting. The bedrooms were very clean and spacious, adequately stocked with water, tea, coffee, electric kettle, tv, spacious closet, and a sitting area with comfy chairs. The shower had the best and relaxing hot water, the beds were so comfortable and they each had mosquito nets. We had dinner on our arrival, delicious portions of various Kenyan food, yum! Breakfast was just as scrumptious, with all the staff happy to serve and help. There were other groups of people in the facility for team building meetings but we never felt out of place nor did it feel crowded. The grounds were well kept, clean, spacious, peaceful river nearby, wild animals(gazelles, birds, monkeys) to enjoy, don’t forget the beautiful male ostrich and emus. The pool was inviting but we did not swim due to time constraints. We would definitely come back for a longer stay to enjoy the food, scenery and all round Kenyan hospitality at its finest.
