How to book and avoid disappointment

  1. Book early. Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve tables fill first. Dining reservations at Villa Rosa Kempinski are by WhatsApp on 0731 999 630, per the hotel page.
  2. Confirm what’s included: drinks, service charge, children’s rates and parking.
  3. Plan for the holiday. 25 December and 1 January are public holidays (see Kenya public holidays 2026 and 2027); traffic is lighter but taxis can surge.
