In today’s fast-paced, distraction-filled world, hosting effective events is about more than just having the right room and Wi-Fi. It’s about creating the right atmosphere, one that fosters focus, creativity, and connection. Just 30 minutes from Nairobi, Brackenhurst Conference and Retreat Centre offers an alternative to city venues, providing a serene, sustainable setting for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE).
1. A Natural Setting That Inspires
Located in Limuru’s highlands and surrounded by one of Kenya’s indigenous forest restoration sites, the peaceful environment, helps attendees fully engage with the purpose of the event, free from urban noise and distractions. Whether you’re hosting a corporate retreat or a multi-day workshop, the natural setting encourages clearer thinking and deeper conversations.
2. Versatile Venues for Every Event
The venue includes a range of indoor and outdoor spaces to suit different event needs:
- Large conference halls with audio-visual equipment
- Smaller boardrooms for strategy sessions
- Breakout rooms for group work and workshops
- Open green spaces and forest amphitheatres for team-building, exhibitions, or wellness sessions
This flexibility makes it ideal for everything from leadership retreats to NGO planning sessions.
3. Sustainability at the Core
Hosting your event here means supporting a place that actively protects and restores Kenya’s natural heritage. Over 120,000 indigenous trees have been planted on site, representing more than 350 native species, planted in partnership with the on-site Centre for Ecosystem Restoration Kenya (CER-K).
A percentage of all conferences and retreats, and bed nights, contribute directly to forest restoration, allowing your organisation to align its gatherings with sustainability and social impact goals.
