We are near the Equator – hence our brand name “Ikweta” – Kiswahili for the Equator.

Ikweta Country Inn is a high-standard hotel in Maua, Meru County, about 277 km from Nairobi and 60 km from Meru,the commercial and communications hub of the region. The hotel provides excellent accommodation. It has unrivaled facilities and services for meetings, private functions and special events.

We are a convenient base for domestic and international visitors wishing to explore the complete wilderness of the nearby Meru National Park, one of Africa’s most beautiful national parks yet one of Kenya’s best kept secrets.
