The iconic Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is a remote luxury 5-star resort located in the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy in Nanyuki, Kenya. The hotel is rooted in history and has evolved from the vision of its founding members in the early 1930’s as a hunting ground to a beautiful story today as a hotel within a conservancy. The organization plays a crucial role in its host community through conservation and sustainability initiatives. As part of the conservation work, the property has a goal to rehabilitate and release the antelope species called the “Mountain Bongo’s” who were heading towards extinction and hence continues to make historic strides for future generations.
Nestled
in the lush foothills of Mount Kenya offering 100 luxury rooms, surrounded by
beautiful forests and conservancies(Ol-Pejeta, Solio to name a few) . The hotel
features a prestigious main structure that reflects the 1950’s colonial
architectural design with a luxury country club feel, complemented by
independent quaint cottages, including William Holden’s original cottage which
offers breathtaking views of the mountain.
The hotel
guests can indulge in an array of exciting outdoor activities including animal
orphanage visits, destination dining, bongo tracking, horse riding in the
forest/conservancy, phenomenal breakfasts at the slopes of Mount Kenya, and

F&B offerings include an all-day dining restaurant, a fine dining grill
restaurant, a bar, and banquets/wedding destinations.
