 Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club 

Kenya's famous country club

Originally the retreat of a Hollywood movie star, this is one exclusive, elegant resort with glorious views.

Founded by the 1950s American actor, William Holden, and counting Winston Churchill and Bing Crosby amongst its former members, this refined club makes for a unique base from which to explore the region. Today, the original colonial building houses most of the facilities and rooms.

You’re welcome to spend your days here as you please, taking it easy by the pool or immersing yourself in activities from golf to mountain biking. There’s also a health spa health and fitness centre.
