Student rooms have basic furnishings including a bed, desk, wardrobe, mosquito net, lighting and a power strip with wireless internet; those sharing a double room each have their own bed and workspace.

All meals are prepared in the on-site kitchen, Bamba Chakula. The menu is international with Swedish influence and Kenyan staples, including a large salad buffet with fresh local produce; vegetarian options are provided on several days and there is always a vegetarian option, but vegan options are not offered.
