Welcome to Brackenhurst Conference and Retreat Centre
A Sanctuary in the Green Hills of Limuru
Brackenhurst is a purpose-designed conference and retreat centre, set within indigenous forest and landscaped gardens. It offers a calm, well-equipped environment for conferences, workshops, residential programmes, retreats and personal getaways, supported by comfortable accommodation and thoughtful, attentive hospitality.
Guests are invited to enjoy forest walks, peaceful gardens and spaces created for reflection and connection. Our team works closely with organisers and individual guests to ensure every stay is carefully planned and delivered with care.
Where Every Stay Supports Restoration
Brackenhurst Conference and Retreat Centre is set within a living landscape shaped by long-term environmental stewardship. Beyond its restored indigenous forest, the campus is home to a botanic garden, seed bank and nurseries that support conservation and ecological restoration across Kenya. A portion of every stay at Brackenhurst is reinvested into the ongoing care and protection of these green spaces, ensuring that each visit directly contributes to the sustainability and regeneration of the environment.
