African Heritage House, Nairobi Overview
A National Monument and museum, the African Heritage House is situated in front of the Nairobi National Park in Mlolongo. Within the house are artefacts, artworks, jewellery, textiles, traditional pottery, weapons, antiques, ceremonial clothes and more. It is open for tours, lunches or dinners and overnight stays.
The building’s structure was inspired mainly by Mali’s Great Mosque of Djenne and Morocco’s mud palaces. It was built in the late 1900s by Alan Donovan to preserve African architectural designs that have been forgotten. The rooms mainly represent different African regions, including Morocco, the East African coast, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Lamu etc. Authentic African food like Swahili coconut rice and Ghana’s groundnut stew is served here. A pool house on the premises contains sculptures by various African artists. The establishment is surrounded by greenery, and numerous birds and animals like ostriches, gazelles, giraffes etc. can be seen around.
