Mount Kenya Safari Camps and Lodges

With magnificent views of majestic Mount Kenya, the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is set in over 100 acres of landscaped gardens, offering a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Originally the retreat of movie star and Club founder, William Holden, the Club’s illustrious former members have included Winston Churchill and Bing Crosby.

This timbered tree hotel is set amid the primeval forests on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya and offers a tranquil retreat with sweeping views across the tree-canopy. The open-air viewing-deck looks down on to the hotel’s own water hole and salt-lick, which attract numerous herds of elephant and buffalo. Activities include guided walks through the forest, trout fishing in the clear mountain streams, and trips to the high mountain moorlands.

Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain. With its volcanic ridges and glacial valleys radiating across the land like spokes from a wheel, the massive bulk of Mount Kenya straddles the Equator yet is permanently crowned with snow. Climbing Mount Kenya takes you through varied ecosystems and awe-inspiring scenery.
