Welcome to African Heritage House!

“An architecture rising from the sere Kenyan plain like an outcropping of earth, a vision of usefulness informed by the African genius for decoration.”

– Architectural Digest

The African Heritage House, overlooking the Nairobi National Park, designed by American Alan Donovan, co-founder of the African Heritage Pan African Galleries, is a combination of the mud architectures from across Africa.

The house is available for tours, meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinners on the rooftop or by the refreshing pool), conferences/functions, as well as overnight stays in its luxurious rooms, filled with African art and furnishings with modern appointments.

Unique and precious home

Alan Donovan’s home MUST be visited. It is inspiring, uplifting and so very educational. His nearly half century of immersion in Africa’s rich cultural heritage is all here for us to feast on and learn from, in so many forms and dimensions.

Incredible Art Collection in An Amazing Home

The architecture of the home is breathtaking and Alan Donovan will tell guests about the source of all of the materials used to build it. The collection of African art that Alan has assembled is second to none. He is a font of knowledge and eager to share it with his guests. The food is fantastic and Zack and the rest of the staff are there to attend to your every need.

A Burst of African Culture

I did not know what I was in for when I was visiting this place. Alan Donovan has collected some beautiful and out of this world African art pieces. From Mali to Ghana to Kenya, You name it. The serenity and ambience is also breath-taking. Very intimate place . The decor is to die for. Everything works well together. They also have an amazing and talented chef. The food was delish.

Most amazing collection

We had such a fabulous experience including lunch and great conversation with Alan. You must call ahead and make plans for this private tour. Definitely a highlight not to be missed. The views and authentic artifacts he’s collected are amazing. What a tasty lunch his staff made for us to share with him.
