We visited for the birding in Kakamega Forest – but the Rondo Retreat wove its way into our hearts. What an utterly charming, quirky place to stay – like stepping back in time with the quaint period cottages in the stunningly beautiful gardens. The staff were lovely and it was a peaceful place to stay for 3 nights – we could easily have stayed for longer. Rondo is right in the Kakamega Forest with well-marked trails accessible directly from the gardens. The rooms and food are simple, we enjoyed the candle lit dinners and afternoon tea (made with locally grown Rondo tea) and you are allowed to bring your own alcohol which they will refrigerate for you. NB there is no wifi, pretty limited cell phone coverage and they are unable to take credit card payments so bring cash for any soft drinks. When we were there were some power outages (although there is a back-up generator). Rondo have their own local bird guides and they were very helpful organising airport transfers and an early breakfast. The introduction of daily flights from Nairobi on Skyward Express has made Rondo more easily accessible for a short break. A special thank you to the delightful Kingsley – the charming and gracious waiter. NB this is a simple, old fashioned, somewhat dated retreat - do not expect luxury trappings, .....other than the luxury of being in the beautiful forest.
