Muthaiga, situated 15 - 20 minutes drive from the city centre, is Nairobi's most prestigious residential area in lush, green surroundings with mature trees and well trimmed hedges. Many of the villas are ambassadorial residences and security is very good due to abundant private security patrols. The excellent Gertrude's Children's Hospital and the prestigious Muthaiga Country Club, that provides sports and recreational facilities, are located in Muthaiga. The Village Market, a large and popular shopping mall, is a mere 5 minute drive away.
