Tamarind Tree Hotel is a mid-range hotel close to Wilson Airport in Nairobi’s Langata suburb one of the city’s most practical locations for safari travellers, positioned just minutes from the domestic departure point for Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and other Kenyan safari destinations. The hotel is named for its garden of mature tamarind trees, which give the property a characterful shaded atmosphere unlike the more exposed city-centre hotels, and the restaurant is one of Nairobi’s most reliable for fresh, well-prepared Kenyan cuisine alongside international options.
Rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, with air conditioning, WiFi, en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and a modest range of business amenities. A pool and conference facilities serve both leisure and corporate needs. The hotel’s proximity to Wilson Airport and the easy access to Nairobi National Park (approximately 15 minutes), the Karen Blixen Museum, the Giraffe Centre, and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust make it an ideal pre- or post-safari stopover.
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) serves Nairobi with direct flights from London, Amsterdam, Dubai, Doha, Istanbul, Addis Ababa, and many other international hubs. The hotel arranges airport transfers; journey time from JKIA to the hotel varies 20–45 minutes depending on location and traffic. Wilson Airport (WIL) serves domestic and safari charter flights.
