Rondo Retreat is a Christian Centre set in the Kakamega rainforest in Kenya that offers Boarding and Catering services for visitors. Rondo Retreat provides lodging and hospitality related services for its wide range of clientele in the Western part of Kenya and especially Kakamega.
Rondo Retreat Center in the Kakamega Rain Forest is a first class homestead consisting of the main house of clapboard and colonial era corrugated iron, and five cottages in the same old style, whose proximity to the forest makes for delightful accommodation.www.crocodileracers.com
Rondo Retreat Center has fifteen en-suite double rooms, plus three more double rooms that share the large original bathroom in the main house. No two rooms are the same. The bedrooms, sitting rooms and dining room have all been decorated and furnished with flair using things "old and new" - antique prints and photographs, local paintings, crafts and fabrics.
Rondo Retreat Center serves hearty English breakfasts, midday lunches, and candlelit dinners in a brightly cozy dining room, in front of a crackling fire if the air is cool. Tea can be taken in the sitting room, on the main verandah or in your cottage or room.www.crocodileracers.com
