Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club: A soulful return to nature
Perched at the foot of Africa’s second-highest peak, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is a sanctuary of timeless sophistication where every stay becomes a story. With panoramic views of snow-capped Mount Kenya and named Africa’s Leading Hotel by the World Travel Awards for four consecutive years (2022–2025), the property invites travelers to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.
Surrounded by over 100 acres of manicured lawns, indigenous forest, and organic gardens, guests can wander through the estate’s “Garden of Wonderland”, home to colobus monkeys, peacocks, and the elusive mountain bongo. Every path is a journey through biodiversity and serenity. We have 100 thoughtfully designed rooms, suites, cottages, and villas—each offering sweeping views and modern comforts infused with classic charm. Recently renovated, the accommodations preserve the colonial character while boasting enhanced amenities.
Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is more than a retreat; it’s a gateway to purposeful travel. Our Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy is at the heart of our sustainability mission. Guests can engage in eco-safaris, meet rescued species, or plant indigenous trees—leaving behind a legacy that nurtures the future. It is home to a dedicated research center focused on rebreeding and rewilding the critically endangered Mountain Bongo—one of the world’s rarest and most elusive antelopes.
For those with a refined palate, gastronomic adventures await. Dine under the stars with open-fire riverside dinners, toast to twilight with sundowners at Kimani Boma, or enjoy breakfast with the endangered mountain bongos. From gourmet restaurants to organic farm-to-table experiences, every bite is a celebration of flavour and place.
Active well-being is woven into the soul of the property. Whether it’s a bike ride along forested trails, horseback safaris through sun-dappled glades, or yoga by the pergola with Mount Kenya in view—each moment encourages physical renewal and inner peace.
Culture pulses through the guest experience with immersive encounters featuring the Kikuyu and Samburu communities. Traditional dances, indigenous rituals, and local artistry ground guests in the spirit and rhythm of Kenya.
Cinematic heritage adds another layer to our legacy. Once the home of Hollywood actor William Holden, the club became a creative haven that hosted film icons and global change makers. Today, its blend of history and glamour makes it a landmark destination for those who appreciate stories worth remembering.
Across it all is Fairmont’s signature service—genuine, intuitive, and refined. We don’t just offer hospitality; we craft memories. From personalised check-ins to bespoke cultural excursions, every detail is designed to evoke wonder, warmth, and connection.
Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling. A moment suspended in time. A canvas where nature, heritage, and luxury converge. Come. Breathe the mountain air. Trace the footsteps of legends. Leave with a story that will last a lifetime.
