Nestled within the upscale Kilimani estate, an area renowned for its vibrant ambiance and lush greenery, this remarkable spot is not just a house but a haven surrounded by a delightful cluster of trees that provide a serene backdrop. Behind the house lies an expansive playground that invites both laughter and leisure, making it an ideal place for gatherings or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon outdoors. As it was my first visit to this inviting location, I found myself thoroughly enjoying every moment spent there. The establishment owns an impressive collection of entertainment options, including a variety of board games that cater to diverse interests, vibrant poker cards for those who fancy a game of chance, and a well-worn soccer ball for spontaneous matches on the open grass. There’s even a small yet thrilling version of a zipline that adds a touch of adventure to the place, along with comfortable bean bags scattered around, providing ample seating for relaxation. Additionally, bean bag boards with holes for tossing games ensure that no guest feels left out or bored, fostering a delightful atmosphere of camaraderie and fun. While my experience with the service was decent, it’s worth noting that I didn’t have the chance to savor their cuisine during this particular visit—perhaps a delightful spread awaits me for my next sojourn. I simply dropped by to sip on a drink or two as I took in the surroundings. A charming highlight of the evening was the warm bonfire that they had lit, which flickered cheerily and offered a cozy refuge for those feeling the evening chill, creating a perfectly inviting atmosphere for socializing and unwinding. Ideal for family gatherings, children will delight in these games and the expansive playground, while adults can relax and unwind. Ample parking is available both within and outside the premises. As it may become chilly, it is advisable to bring a warm cardigan. So, what are you waiting for? Don’t miss out on the chance to visit this delightful place and experience all it has to offer for yourself. 😎

It’s such a serene spot, my kids’ absolute favorite! They love the food just as much as the trampoline, swing, and zip line. I get to unwind with a few glasses of chilled white wine and enjoy some of the delicious dishes from the menu while they play and eat happily. Loaded fries, cheesy chips and Kijani burger have stolen our hearts. It’s a wonderfully family friendly place.

I was very excited to visit the Kajani Kafe. It mostly had great reviews, and I even got a recommendation from a friend that said the food was good. I was looking forward to finding a new place for lunch in Nakuru. I ordered the Kijani burger and since they just opened, was told that it would take a some time. I waited around 45 minutes and was served a beautiful plate with an amazing looking burger. Unfortunately, I bit into the burger and it was raw in the middle. I immediately brought it to the staff attention. They apologized and asked if I could wait another 15 minutes and they would make me a new one. I decided to wait and give this place another chance. Unfortunately the next burger they served was also raw in the middle. At that point, I just said let me pay for what I have. I had taken the fries off of the plate and was eating them to hold myself over. The fries were very greasy so I’d only eaten about five of them and I’d ordered a water. Well, they charged me 300. I paid and was getting ready to go and the waitress told me. Oh no, you have to pay for the water, 😩 . I thought I had already paid for everything but paid 150 for the water. I left hungry, irritated and will not be back. Even though the place is beautiful, and the staff seemed really nice. Just in case the owner wants to know when this happened I was at the.Kafe on 22 July 2025 at 12:00.

It's brilliant for an outdoor picnic date. There are plenty of field games and board games to play too. The food is awesome. Not too pricey and the ambience is really chilled.
