Assessment Of Kongoni Camp Restaurant in the Mount Kenya region
We spent 2 nights in Nanyuki, in order to write a good review of Kongoni Camp Restaurant in the Mount Kenya region of Kenya.
Kongoni camp is set in a pleasant stress-free atmosphere with glorious food at wonderful prices. Free Wi-Fi available. The staff are good and the owner is always around for a chat or to ask you how your night is.
After you get there it’s nestled in some woods, part of a lodge and hotel, but the restaurant is open to all, and visited by a mixture of locals and expats. Masses of European style food on the menu and some specials the cook has made up.
The place is a massive converted barn, extremely spacious. Just outside the door is a log fire. I’d need to say, if I wished to start a bar this is the sort of place like to possess. It’s unique, rustic and you wouldn’t know you are just on the edge of town.
Whilst at the Kongoni Camp the staff kindly told us about the new Lily Pond Arts Centre on the equator in Nanyuki.
The workers at Kongoni were adamant that we made a trip to the massive art studio, as it displays reasonable modern art from East Africa’s top recent artists, away from the hustle of city life.
You can choose to either absorb the atmosphere of this unruffled and special African arts place, or meet the “Artists in Residence”. The Art Studio houses art graduates from art schools in Nairobi, Kenya who are on full time, long-term placements at the arts centre, manufacturing and showing new reasonable art works.
This new art gallery in Nanyuki, aims to operate as a springboard for young artists to launch their art careers, whilst allowing safari visitors to buy original artistic endeavors.
Safari guests can also enjoy a good lunch on a deck, overlooking a large lily pond.
With the great Mount Kenya Mountain as a backdrop, art visitors can also like to watch the white egret, hunting the frogs in the pool!
What Kenyan safari guests find dazzling is that the equator slices clean thru the middle of this Arts Centre. This indicates that you can view inspiring African art in both the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere!
This new Arts Centre in Nanyuki, has just installed a new equator sculpture, the Wish World, which is installed precisely at 0000000. Everybody writes down their wishes and then hangs them onto the “Wish Globe”.
The modern Arts Centre is also a rare opportunity to buy special hand- made African gifts like beaded sandals, recycled flip flop toys, African masks, Glass chimes, Kenyan metal geckos and lots more unusual African present ideas.
