The Man Behind the Property
The resort is associated with Kenyan businessman Humphrey Kariuki, whose business journey began long before his involvement in the hospitality industry.
Kariuki reportedly started his working life at the Central Bank of Kenya as a clerk when he was just 19 years old.
He later left formal employment and ventured into entrepreneurship.
One of his early business ventures involved importing and trading vehicles, an experience that exposed him to opportunities in the private sector.
After building his finances and gaining experience from travelling internationally, Kariuki expanded into hospitality.
He established Green Corner Restaurant in Nairobi's Central Business District, which became popular among professionals working in the city.
His investments subsequently expanded into several industries, contributing to his reputation as one of Kenya's prominent entrepreneurs.
