Besides the Fantastic Ambience 👌...Expect to enjoy An Impressive African art and textile collection displayed aesthetically in a magnificient Timbuktu-Inspired Adobe home. Alan willingly shares his deep knowledge of indigenous arts and crafts. This experience should not be missed by anyone who appreciates and enjoys learning more about African art. It is well worth the visit just to enjoy the sumptuous buffet lunch and panoramic views.

Wither you are one person or 4 people you still pay the same price of 4,000 KES. I’m just one person and wanted to take quick pictures and leave and they still wanted to charge me the 4K. If it’s 1000 per person of group of 4 why can’t you make it 1000 per person then? This doesn’t make since and made me sad that I couldn’t get in. They should rethink their entrance policies as not everyone comes in a group.

One of the best places to see African art and enjoy a unique experience while eating a delicious meal. Not to miss! They are just a few phone picts but they don’t start to capture the place..

A cultural hub. A cultural research centre. A cultural hotel. Collections of Art, Textiles, stories and ingenuity set in this house. A repository of contemporary and modern art from Eastern Africa.

Amazing history of African arts and culture here. There are two guided tours at 2pm and​ 5pm. The host is very gracious. Great view of the Nairobi National Park and the SGR

An authentic collection of African Heritage. This house has it all. It speaks everything African.

Lovely experience and collection.

Indeed a place to be

I loved the African Heritage House and have been multiple times to bring family and friends. There are hundreds of incredibly beautiful pieces of art from all over Africa. Alan Donavan, the owner of the home shares a wealth of knowledge with his guests making a visit a truly unique experience. Lunch is delicious, the views fantastic, and of course you can also stay the night. I highly recommend coming here if you visit Nairobi.

Loved it. The staff and service were great and very engaging.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to African Heritage House! It had lots of art, history and culture to offer. It’s not too far from the CBD (about an hour’s drive) but offers such serene views of the park. Would highly recommend as a quick day trip with friends. Or if you’re looking to get some cool IG pics too. 😉

It's a very unique architectural feat, with marvelous Africa artifacts featured all over the property and interiors. Great for a day out and they even offer a tour plus early sundowner dinner overlooking the national park. The google maps driving instructions are incorrect, you have to drive on Mombasa rd till mlolongo then take the slip rd back to nairobi and there's a sign for Alan Donovan on the left right on the main rd.

About 30 minutes from the city center African Heritage House is home to some of the finest art pieces from all over Africa. Alan Donavan has collected quite an amount of African history and displayed them in the house. If you’re looking for something to do for afew hours in Nairobi then I recommend the place. They also offer accommodation so you can go with a group of friend.

The food is amazing that avocado dressing is delicious. Plan for time there is alot to learn. But the food haha.. Is awesome!

BEAUTIFUL! AIRY..THE BEST VIEW...COSY.. FRIENDLY SERVICE! They have tours within...I didn't order..

Very nice Location Right in front of the national park.

Cool place for private functions

Amazing place! If you want real African heritage this is the place to go.

Is a nice place to be

Its a real effort, different african cultures being represented. The house and place is great. For the love of art and designs you will enjoy the place.

Amazing place with vast African Art collection.

Had a detailed guided tour by very professional staff

The real african heritage collections masterpiece

Wonderful

Incredible place. Astounding collection of beautiful art from across Africa. The tour is fascinating. Food is delicious. Amazing views. Staff are great. Just don't pay in dollars as they rip you off on currency exchange. Other than that caution, this place is sensational.

Took a virtual tour online, will visit physically once the covid situation subsides. It looks very interesting from what i was able to see on the online virtual tour. The african artifacts and the architecture of the structure are so awesomely done. The views to the Nairobi National park are breath taking. Definitely have to visit this place physically!! 😎

A fascinating place to see pieces of Kenyan and African art and history. Take the time for a guided tour. Go in groups of 4pax to take advantage of the best value for entrance fees. If you can, stay to watch the sunset over the Nairobi National Park.

Its really really nice place. Museum

A unique museum. Amazing.

Best historical place to go.

It was an intense tour, beautiful art with lots of historical information.however, you need to book for convenience

Nice place offer bed and breakfast

African Heritage House... Words fail me.. This sanctuary is the best place to understand African culture. The legacy beyond Alan Donovan. The food was great. The staff were super kind. The wild animals from the vicinity... just beauty at its best. Mashallah 😍!

Great arty place... Awesome view of the Nairobi national park.. If you lucky can catch a glance of wild animals passing through.. Awesome food.. Traditional African art all over the house!! I enjoyed myself!

Remarkable collection of a lifetime by one man of African cultural artifacts from all over the continent. The house , which is museum , office and residence , is a striking architectural statement looking out over the plains. The collection , rich, varied and thought provoking as it is, is now crying out for new ideas in its presentation . It needs a dynamic curator, with fresh ideas, who can make this superb collection come alive .

Excellent and adventurous place. I recommend it.

African Heritage House is a walking dream into the as african cultural conscious. An awaken, a home to our thoughts, a shelter to our primal beginning. I would re-visit this home to my ancestors. I wish more people can support and help them keep the lights on. I hope to do so myself by giving them my ability. Please help this place survive

Everything about African heritage house is unique in african style and I loved that,food was awesome,pool side is cool,view is adorable and it's just a place someone would love to go and relax...Great thanks to Alan Donovan...

Paul was a great guide. He made Alan’s fascinating collection come alive. Dinner was delicious.

Very nice and rare museum in Africa

Based on mud architecture from mosques of Mali at Djenne, the house is an architecture masterpiece designed by American former diplomat, arriving in Africa over 50 years ago, Alan Donovan dedicated his life to the preservation and promotion of African Heritage. The house houses a rare collection of African art, most of which have disappeared completely. The house offers Bed and breakfast, meals and day Tours. The staff members makes you feel at home and Alan Donovan is a fine gentleman. The house features a pool house and is overlooking Nairobi National Park.

Nice collection. Starting to show signs of it age. Needs someone to conserve the collection

The one house you have to visit in your lifetime

A beautiful venue for unique wedding photography. Great ambiance and easily accessible from the Nairobi - mombasa at Mlolongo

Full if the collections of Alan Donovan from all over Africa. We learned a lot. You can stay here in one of the themed rooms or stop by for a tour. It's best to book ahead if you want lunch. There is a fee of Ksh 4000 for the tour. You can buy some fantastic African jewelery .

Wonderful tour! Lovely collections! Authentic African art

One of the most iconic art destinations

It's woooh

(Translated by Google) More kitschy you die, incredible collection of memories of Africa. Heterogeneous presentation with often 3rd degree ... (Original) Plus kitsch tu meures, collection incroyable de souvenirs d'Afrique. Présentation hétéroclite avec souvent du 3° degré...

My jaws dropped at the creativity in the African collection in this place..! I'll definitely be back..!

Interesting artifacts about Africa

I liked this place because it was very unique because there is no other place like this

Historical place

Nice place

Hugely rich history, would recommend

The most photographed house in Africa is made of mud and is home to the largest collection of African art.

Good history place

The view...Beautiful! I was there right before sunset for a Photoshoot and I honestly did not want to leave. The place has a great African feel to it and lots of culture. I did not see the rooms but wished that I could have used the swimming pool. The location is a little tricky to find but definitely worth visiting, 5 starts to the staff as well, they always had a smile on their faces.

Exquisite

It is the only place I find peace and connect with my ancestor world. Good work Mr. Alan

Good
