About Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club

A five-star hotel with a country club ambiance in the shadow of Kenya's famous mountain.
With spectacular views of the majestic Mount Kenya, The Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is a magnificent sight to behold. Built directly on the equator, it was once an exclusive club for celebrities from around the world. Although it was renovated and upgraded by Fairmont Hotels, the prestigious main structure reflects the 1950’s colonial architectural design with a luxury country club feel. It is complemented by independent quaint cottages, set in over 100 acres of landscaped gardens. The resort offers a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure and has won many prestigious awards.

Pop into the nearby Mount Kenya Animal Orphanage. It's just a short walk from the hotel and you'll be able to meet some of the adorable rescues and learn more about the cause.
Something to think about

Something to think about

The Safari Club is deep in the forest and whilst day trips to wildlife conservancies are possible, animals are not the primary focus of a stay here.
