Truly, the place to travel in order\u00a0to satisfy an entire family is\u00a0Kenya\\’s north, Laikipia. Why? The lodges are beautiful and the array of activities are endless. Soames Hotel is 7km outside\u00a0of Nanyuki town, the gates to this beautiful, diverse, rugged and magnificent north.<\/p>\n
For Kenyans, Soames does not have to be a \\’stop-\\’off\\’ on the way to Laikipia though, it is most definitely good enough, ideal\u00a0in fact, to be a family mini-break\u00a0in itself. For those travelling here from overseas, it is indeed a wonderful part of a Kenyan safari. Soames is about the little hotel itself, is not on a private conservancy or wildlife-strewn ranch, so it is important to plan your daily activities before you travel.<\/p>\n
Soames Hotel and Jacks Bar is a newly constructed out-of-town boutique hotel, overlooking Mt Kenya. The sitting room, dining room and bar area is \\’ranch-house\\’ in shape and style with six separate cottages (with two bedrooms in each) as the 12 bedrooms. \u00a0The entire place is classic contemporary style with a clean cut modern look, simply and tastefully furnished … and yummy food!! \u00a0Honestly, the food is delicious; my breakfast of poached egg, smoked salmon & hollondaise sauce on a crusty brown bread is still heavily on my mind!<\/p>\n
A family friendly activity I can truly recommend whilst staying at Soames is a mornings visit to The Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy otherwise known as the Animal Orphanage at Mt. Kenya Safari Club. Little people will struggle to forget their time cuddling a cheetah, an over affectionate Llama, feeding a Colobus monkey, being pecked by a Crested Crane or riding a huuuuuge tortoise. Ours keep asking to come back here\u00a0…. all the time! Here are some wonderful ideas of what you can do when you next stay at Soames:<\/p>\n

\nNanyuki, Kenya\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 I have listed all the activities I would recommend above .. loads of great things to do.
\nWeather<\/span> \u2013 Clear mornings but quite chilly (in my view), take layers. The wettest month is\u00a0usually April.
\nWhat to Pack? \u2013<\/span> Shorts for the day with a shirt, a jumper and jacket, trousers and jumpers for the evening. And a mossi-net for your room … the only negative fore this lovely place.
\nPrice \u2013<\/span>\u00a0For Non-residents the rate is about USD80 per person per night; for residents it is the same Kshs8,000 per person per night, B&B.
\nMy advise \u2013<\/span> Stay here, with your kids. It\\’s a great weekend away for Kenyan residents or for those on safari, it\\’s a really lovely addition to an intrepid safari!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
