Our Story
A word. A philosophy. A home.
What Enkaji means
Enkaji is a Maasai word for home. We conceptualised the word as a promise that everything we build or change here has to make a stay feel less like a hotel but more like your own home.
Whether you are with us for a night, a week or months, you should never have to live out of a suitcase.
A deliberate address
Enkaji 77 ApartHotel is conveniently located on Nairobi's Northern Bypass in Roysambu, offering seamless road connectivity and bypassing the city centre traffic. Our guests enjoy quick, effortless access to Nairobi's key medical, academic, and leisure hubs located within short distances:
- Kenyatta University Referral Hospital (KUTRRH), 4 km
- USIU-Africa and Thika Road Mall, about 3 km
- Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, under 7 km
- JKIA, which is about 20 km via the bypass; Westlands suburb and the UN at Gigiri are easily reachable via the bypass without crossing the CBD.
The freedom of an apartment, the service of a hotel
Each of our apartments is meticulously designed for both short-term getaways and extended monthly stays. Each space blends the independent freedom of a home with premium hotel amenities, featuring:
- Fully equipped kitchens made for real food preparation and cooking
- Separate living and sleeping areas: choose a studio, an executive one-bedroom or a two-bedroom
- Dedicated workspaces with high-speed Wi-Fi that supports video calls and virtual meetings
- 24-hour reception, daily housekeeping, and secure parking, all at your convenience.
Wellness and formal dining
We believe a long stay shouldn't mean a lapsed routine. Guests enjoy full access to our state-of-the-art gym throughout their stay. To round out the experience, our rooftop restaurant serves open-air dining from 6 AM to 10 PM, the perfect backdrop for an early breakfast, a relaxed dinner, or private milestone celebrations.
Beyond our doors for leisure
Your lifestyle options expand effortlessly. Take advantage of our proximity to world-class recreation:
- Windsor's championship course and Muthaiga Golf Club. The latter is a little further down Kiambu Road.
- The Karura Forest off Kiambu Road features a 15-metre waterfall and nostalgic nature trails.
- Guided coffee tour and tasting: immerse yourself in Kenya's rich coffee heritage with a curated farm-to-cup tour, plantation walks, and premium tastings at Fairview Coffee Estate situated off Kiambu Road, making for easy half-day memories.
Designed for the in-between
Whether you are a consultant on a short-term contract, a family supporting a loved one through medical treatment, or a returning diaspora settling back into Nairobi, we are your landing pad. More space than a hotel, more flexibility than a lease.

The Acacia
The acacia tree is a symbol of resilience, shelter, and belonging across the East African savannah. It is the tree under which communities gather, rest, and connect.
The Zebra Pattern
Bold, elegant, unmistakable. The zebra pattern in our brand identity draws from the beauty of the plains, and from the idea that no two guests are alike, yet all are equally welcome.
Birds in Flight
Travellers in motion, always returning. The birds in our watermark represent our guests, people who come and go, and choose to come back.
