☑️The food was just top tier 🔥 ☑️ I especially enjoyed their bbq chicken, lamb steak, salads & deserts since it was a buffet. ☑️I would totally recommend it especially for a large group. ☑️The ambience was unmatched. ☑️Professional and very warm hospitality from the host and the staff. ☑️Prior booking would also allow you to have the best experience. ☑️It has smaller ‘barns’ where you can hold a conference meeting

Asked along the way.
What is included in venue rental?+
Venue hire includes access to garden spaces, indoor pavilions, and basic setup. Catering, décor, and staffing are available through partnerships or external vendors. Contact Shamba Events directly for customized packages.
Can we host both ceremony and reception here?+
Yes. The estate has dedicated garden areas for ceremonies and adjacent covered spaces for receptions, allowing guest flow between events.
What is the weather like during wedding season?+
Kenya's dry seasons (June–October and January–February) offer the most predictable weather. The venue's covered spaces accommodate rain, and open gardens provide natural light year-round.
