OL ARABEL

Hi there.

We write to introduce Ol Arabel - a secluded, meticulously manicured garden, sprawled under 70+ year old trees, in the quiet Nairobi suburb of Ridgeways. With capacity of 2,000+ restaurant-style sitting, and parking for nearly 200 vehicles, our gardens provide the perfect setting for your next event.

Our serene garden is laid against the backdrop of an old English [built in the 1940s], colonial-style 4-bedroom house, complete with all amenities for short-stay accommodation, and meetings/seminars for small groups. We also offer our Honeymoon Suite in the house, which is complementary for those who marry in the garden.

Search Facebook Groups for a group called “OL ARABEL”. You’ll find lots of pictures and current information about us there.

This private facility is perfect for social [weddings, parties, retreats] and commercial [corporate launches & events, video & photo shoots, TV shows, interviews, documentaries, & advertisements]. Accommodation in the cozy house is quiet, warm, and comfortable.

We are proud to have hosted numerous weddings, retreats, parties, and even TV shows like "Let's Cook" and "Sebuleni", both on NTV. We've also had advertisements shot here for Coca Cola Africa, Co-operative Bank of Kenya, and Deacons.

Across the road we have Ol Arabel Kottage, a cosy 2-bedroom, fully furnished residence, available for short-let accommodation, on self-catering or bed & breakfast basis.

Directions to Ol Arabel

There are two major roads you can use to come to Ol Arabel - Kiambu Road and Thika Road. Following are directions from the turn-offs on both roads:-

From Kiambu Road:-

Turn off Kiambu Road onto Ridgeways Road, just after the flats on your right, which appear soon after the petrol station on your left. Drive straight along Ridgeways Road to a junction, where there is a container painted in Kenya Police colours. Turn right, do not continue with the road down the hill. Follow the road about 500M, upon which you'll come to a `T' junction. Turn left onto Kigwa Lane, which descends, with coffee growing on your left. At the bottom is another `T' junction, turn right onto Kigwa Road [left leads to Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club]. Drive down [descending slightly] Kigwa Road to the very end of the road, leaving two dirt roads on your left [Ridgeways Brook and Kigwa Close - do not take them]. Ol Arabel is the last property on your left hand side. There is a sign at the gate, and a KPLC transformer right outside the gate.

From Thika Road:-

Turn off Thika Road onto Garden Estate Road at the EABL/Roasters [former Nakumatt-Thika Road] junction. Drive 1Km. to King Castle Inn Hotel, where the road bends to the right, and a dirt road bends to the left. Take the dirt road bending to the left, to its end, about 1.1Km., where it joins the Ridgeways Lane/Kigwa Road junction. Turn right onto Kigwa Road. Ol Arabel is the first property on your right. There is a sign at the gate, and a KPLC transformer right outside the gate.
