overview

With magnificent views of eponymous Mount Kenya, Mount Kenya Safari Club offers a unique blend of classic East African style, hospitality and adventure. Set among manicured lawns, decorative ponds and landscaped flowerbeds, this traditional country-style hotel is a reminder of a more elegant, bygone era. Stroll through the fragrant rose garden, relax next to the heated swimming pool or play a round of golf on the club’s 9-hole golf course.

In the style of a colonial country club, Mount Kenya Safari Club also features a bowling green, tennis courts and a croquet lawn. With some of the country's finest Rift Valley attractions on your doorstep, you can choose from a wide range of full or half-day excursions including game drives in local conservancy areas, hikes up the second-highest peak in Kenya, fishing safaris to mountain lakes or even a visit to the Animal Orphanage, located right next door to the hotel.

Dining

Dinners at Mount Kenya Safari Club are an elegant affair: the smart/casual dress code creates an air of sophistication in keeping with your surroundings. Tusks Restaurant offers a four-course set menu with vegetarian options each evening in front of a roaring fireplace. Breakfast and lunch is a selection of buffet dishes accompanied by views of Mount Kenya. Book the William Holden Room for a special private occasion. This private dining room with its cosy wood-burning fire and fascinating array of 19th century portrait photographs has spectacular views of snow-capped Mount Kenya from its private terrace.

Lying across the equator, the elegant lounge bar Zebar requires waiters to cross from the southern to the northern hemisphere to retrieve your drinks order. The waiters will also happily cross the lawn to serve you as you relax around the club swimming pool. Light bar snacks are also served north and south of the equator. The restaurants at Mount Kenya Safari Club offer 'Lifestyle Cuisine Plus' - imaginative, nutritious meals for those with special dietary requirements. Children under the age of 12 can be served an early supper in the main dining room and are not permitted in the public areas after 21:30.
