3-star hotels in Kajiado
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Kajiado, the county seat on the road south from Nairobi to Namanga and the Tanzanian border. It is for travellers breaking the drive south, and for visitors who want a simple, well-rated base in Kajiado County.
Staying in Kajiado
Kajiado is the county seat of Kajiado County and sits on the road south from Nairobi to Namanga and the border with Tanzania. The town is about 60 km south of Nairobi in a straight line, and the road continues past it, so it works as a natural break on the drive south. Places to stay here serve both short stays and longer visits.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread along the roads that carry that traffic: in Kajiado town and Kajiado Central, along Namanga Road and the Namanga Highway at Kumpa, on the Old Namanga Road at Olleserewa, and on Isinya roads at Isinya and Olenkurian. Some sit at Minchil Stage, 23 km to Namanga town. The mix suits couples and families on a road trip, business travellers passing through, and anyone planning a short break rather than a full safari circuit.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Kajiado is reached by road from Nairobi. The town lies on the road south from Nairobi to Namanga and the border with Tanzania, about 60 km south of Nairobi in a straight line, and that same road continues past the town towards the border. Because the route runs through Kajiado rather than ending there, the town is a natural break on the drive south, and the hotels on this shortlist are strung along it and its side roads: Namanga Road, the Namanga Highway, Old Namanga Road and the Isinya roads.
When to go
Kajiado is the county seat of Kajiado County, and the road through it runs south from Nairobi to Namanga and the Tanzanian border. That route is travelled year-round, and the town works as a break on the drive whatever the season. Plan around your journey south rather than around a season in the town itself; availability for your dates is checked live, as no rate is quoted for these places.
Things to do near Kajiado
Questions, answered

Five of the shortlisted hotels give their address simply as Kajiado or Kajiado Central: Tumaini Gardens Isinya, Masai Eco Lodge, Enchula Resort, Eliata Bush Camp and Lux Suites Emparnat Homes Kajiado. Namanga Road addresses, like Yokabi s Comfort Inn, sit on the through route rather than in the town itself.
Which hotels have the best guest ratings?
Tumaini Gardens Isinya's rating rests on 726 reviews and Saab Royale Resort's on 296. The other hotels on this shortlist have no guest rating or review count recorded here.
Are these hotels good for families?
The Kajiado addresses work for families because the town is a natural break on the road south from Nairobi to Namanga and the border. Enchipai Campsite and Cottages, on Isinya Olenkurian Road, and Oldonyo Orok Lodge at Minchil Stage are the more out-of-town options, while the Kajiado town hotels keep you in the county seat.
Which hotels are best for a short stay on the road south?
Lerruat Log Resort on the Namanga Highway at Kumpa, Masai Eco Lodge and Yokabi s Comfort Inn on Namanga Rd., and Oldonyo Orok Lodge at Minchil Stage, 23 km to Namanga town, all sit directly on the route towards the Tanzanian border, which makes them practical for a single night between Nairobi and Namanga.
