Maasai Ostrich Resort

I recently was able to visit the Maasai Ostrich Resort populary know as the ostrich farm. I usually like going there coz of the tasty ostrich game meat that is served there. It has a swimming pool for the children to play in and the farm is open to all to see how these magnificent birds are reared of course for a small fee. The ostrich farm is located 45 kilometers from Nairobi on the thi River/ kitengela plains about thirty minutes drive from the Jomo Kenyatta International airport in Nairobi and about 1 and half hours drive from the tanzania border.
It also has some accomodation facilities although i have never used it. Initially it was a ranch house, the resort offers luxury accomodation whith spacious ensuite double rooms, taste fully furnished and private. The large american styled ranch house is surrounded by beautiful gardens of mixed wild and exotic plants and a green manicured lawn. over time the resort has become a haven of eace to trad a popular and ideal spot for family outings. At the farm there are guides who offer educational tours on the aspect of rearing ostriches. finally there is a shop that specializes on ostrich souvenighers ranging from leather belts and bags, wallets, egg shells, feather dusters and key holders. From my visits there i have learned ostrich farmers never throw anything away as waste. The skin makes wonderful leather products, the feathers are used to make head regalia for African traditional dancers, the eggs are eaten and are indeed large and the shells painted to make household decoration and the meat makes tasty nyama choma a swhali word for rasted meat
