Mount Kenya Safari Club

The Mount Kenya safari club, with its blend of romance, history and scenery has become the place to be while in Kenya, whether on safari or on business.

Location

It is built at the equator facing Mt Kenya. The site is truly magnificent with its nice view of the glacier covered Mount Kenya.

Mount Kenya safari club large and complex, with the grounds covering 100 acres of land and contains a diverse range of accommodation options, many sports facilities and a host of shops and galleries.

Traditions

The hotel maintains a tradition of upscale elegance. There is a dress code for dinner with live music for dancing. Children are required to eat separately.

This sense of formality harks back to an earlier era with hints of snobbery and pretension. However, anyone can stay and receive special attention.
