The lure of new places is usually too strong to resist. So off I went to the newly opened Panari Resort in Nyahururu, Laikipia county.
Nestled on 20 acres in the serene East Marmanet forest, is the luxurious hideaway. A true gem! You really don't expect it to there only
two-and-a-half to three hours drive from Nairobi but it is. Its even a shorter drive if coming from Mount Kenya.
The fireplace in each of the 22 cottages of four rooms each is a welcome addition especially when the evening chill sets in. And if you feel an urge to splurge, upgrade to the
executive and presidential villas, you won't regret it.
Enjoy a memorable dining experience at the Brown Olive Restaurant overlooking the tranquil gorge of the Thompson Falls and the Ewaso Nyiro river. Grab a night cap at the Silky Oak Bar (named after some of the indigenous trees in the neighbouring forest).
Unwind at the fully-equipped gym and spa, or if exercise is not your thing, try out the steam and sauna or the relaxing waters of the indoor heated swimming pool.
