The Kenyatta Family has its hand in almost every major sector in Kenya’s economy. Their investments are spread across banking, dairy processing, insurance, media, real estate and agriculture among others.

One of the industries the family has invested heavily in is hospitality. The family, one of Kenya’s wealthiest, controls Heritage Hotels – a group of luxury hotels spread across the country.

Here, Business Today looks at seven luxury hotels owned by the Kenyatta family.

  1. Mara Explorer

Mara Explorer is a five-star tented camp facility located in the Maasai Mara. It currently costs over Ksh80,000 to spend a night at the luxury hotel.

Its location also promises visitors a great view of the wildlife in the Mara and the wildebeest migration.

2. Kipungani Explorer

The Kipungani Explorer is another in the Kenyattas’ ‘Explorer’ range. It is located on the island of Lamu.

Although currently closed for renovations, the Kipungani Explorer offers a luxurious experience – with  palm-thatched bandas between a mangrove-lined channel and the edge of a 12-kilometre white sandy beach.

  • How much was a genuine investment from cash from sweat and blood? Investment from 70 years of looting is nothing to celebrate. It’s worth condemnation. When 90% of wealth belong to 10% of the population and 90% own 10%, the country is a man eat man society.

  • All the wealth the Kenyatta family has, is acquired via fraudulent means like massive land grabbing, looting of state resources and unfair business practices. They’re just one very gluttonous, fraudulent and selfish family.

  • I am one of most talented graphic and interior designer. I do 3d letter work designs, 3d epoxy flooring, tragic false ceilings ,spray paintings among others. If Kenyatta family can just recognise that and appreciate me as a Kenyan by giving me just a renovation, I am more than ready to be an ever living proudly kenyan
