6 Days Kenya Luxury Flying Safari

Fairmont The Norfolk has been a starting point for African safaris for over a hundred years, and it’s easy to see why when you set foot here. It’s a calm oasis in the middle of the city, and thus the perfect place to kick back and unwind, recalibrating from your flight and preparing for the grand adventure ahead of you. At The Norfolk you’re part of a rich safari history, and black and white photos of past guests (Churchill and Roosevelt among them) grace the walls of the open-air lobby, seemingly urging you to relax and enjoy the journey of a lifetime.

Nairobi’s most venerable hotel, The Norfolk has been a meeting place for passing travellers and newly arrived settlers alike since 1904. A richly storied property, The Norfolk was acquired by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts shortly after celebrating its centennial. Fairmont has an unblemished reputation for acquiring legendary properties and nurturing their histories while updating them with the most modern conveniences.
