​What was once a large family home in an affluent suburb of Nairobi, surrounded by shaded green gardens, has now become Milimani Backpackers. The house has a warm and inviting atmosphere thanks to the helpful and friendly staff who welcome you to the property accompanied by the resident "security" dog, Scooby. 
The rooms at Milimani Backpackers vary from single sex dormitories to private rooms and even brand new simple cabin style self-contained rooms out the back.
​
Rooms either come self-contained with their own bathroom facilities or with shared bathrooms. Either way, all are impeccably clean and individual water heaters in the showers mean hot water is readily available throughout the day.

The common area in the centre of the house has the feel of a typical family home with a dining table, comfy couches and a large flat screen TV. Wi-Fi is available in these areas and there is also a communal computer and a small bookshelf available for guests to use at their leisure.

​The kitchen prepares food through the day from a simple menu with some very reasonably priced meals and soft drinks, water and beer are also available.
Their is a laundry where guests can either do their own washing or pay the staff to do it if they'd prefer, with both options attracting a small fee.
 
In the front yard there are some inviting tables, chairs and hammocks nestled beneath the trees where guests can relax day or night with the comfort that the entire property is within a secure complex and also guarded by security personnel. This is also the area where guests can choose to camp if they want to save some cash and have the appropriate equipment.
​Milimani Backpackers is some 14km out of Nairobi city surrounded by large residential properties. Taxis, public transport or your own vehicle can all be used to reach the property however getting around in Nairobi takes some time regardless of where you are going! Out of peak hours a taxi will take around 30 minutes and public transport will take around 1 hour to reach Milimani Backpackers.
There is a large western shopping centre 10 minutes drive from Milimani Backpackers, with western restaurants, a large supermarket and a few clothes and electronics stores.
 
Milimani Backpackers will soon be expanding their business to include a new property with facilities aimed at large Over-Lander trucks and tour groups. In the meantime, this laidback, homely residence is a great place to rest your head away from the dust and bustle of Nairobi city yet still close enough to visit sights such as the National Museum and inner city markets as a day trip.
