with the Leopards!
Location: District Commissioner’s
House
• South side of the Village WaTuTu
Description
• The District Commissioner's House was built for visiting British
Commissioners during Kenya's colonization era. The history of European
influence on Africa, its people, economy and environment are an important
part of our story. Not open for public exhibit, the District Commissioner's
House provides an exotic indoor event venue. Constructed with the same
thatched roof and mud-wall style as the Village huts, the interior of
this house shares a solid glass wall with the Leopard Exhibit, which may
be lit for night-time events. The interior is finished with flagstone
flooring, thatched and ebony-stained beamed ceilings and white stucco
walls. Furnishings will reflect a somewhat rustic, romantic European influence.
A  preparation
kitchen provides catering options for intimate dinners, meetings, luncheons,
receptions and seminars. Events may also flow outdoors to the front of
the house, one of several alfresco venues.
Capacity
• The House has three antique wooden tables with matching chairs
which can accommodate 20 guests. Tables and chairs cannot be removed
from the residence. Extra tables and chairs may be brought in to accommodate
45 seated, 55 standing. The House is approximately 1,033 square feet.
Restrooms
• Restrooms are located at the Village entrance, and next to the
District Commissioner's House.
 Lighting
• All additional lighting needed for events must be furnished by
the client. Electrical outlets are available for your use.
