Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club
About the hotel
"A heavenly escape set in the foothills of a majestic mountain, the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club boasts charming accommodations, fabulous nature-focused experiences and a golf course bisected by the equator."
This charming property once belonged to actor William Holden, and his original cottage still stands today. A traditional, Old World sense of grace and grandeur extends to every inch, from the manicured lawns to the magnificent guestrooms (and all the wonderful stuff between). Speaking of guestrooms, the Safari Club boasts 110 accommodations – a combination of rooms, suites and villas. All are lovely, decorated wistfully and thoughtfully in a manner that feels at once both indulgent and quaint. If you can swing it, suites are well worth the upgrade; these come with an abundance of perks like wood-burning fireplaces, private... Show more
This charming property once belonged to actor William Holden, and his original cottage still stands today. A traditional, Old World sense of grace and grandeur extends to every inch, from the manicured lawns to the magnificent guestrooms (and all the wonderful stuff between). Speaking of guestrooms, the Safari Club boasts 110 accommodations – a combination of rooms, suites and villas. All are lovely, decorated wistfully and thoughtfully in a manner that feels at once both indulgent and quaint. If you can swing it, suites are well worth the upgrade; these come with an abundance of perks like wood-burning fireplaces, private terraces and the very best views of the mountain. A fascinating bit of trivia is the fact that the property straddles the true equator; if you’re travelling with a group, it’s entirely possible that you and your companions will be sleeping in different hemispheres.
Two restaurants will keep guests properly fortified for whatever adventures they have in store. Colobus Grill Restaurant features an open grill and live chef stations if you’re in the mood for dinner and a show, while Tusks Restaurant serves all meals of the day in an elegant dining room that overlooks the manicured grounds and Mount Kenya beyond. For drinks, Zebar offers a relaxed lounge environment with a good menu of libations, and a walk from one end of the bar to the other involves crossing the equator itself.
Amenities are bountiful at Fairmont, so much so that it’s difficult knowing where to start. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy the novelty of playing at the only course in South Africa bisected by the equator (the deeply picturesque landscape is also a plus). Horseback riding is a marvellous way to get closer to the surrounding wilderness, as is a nature walk guided by both a park ranger and the Fairmont’s resident naturalist. You might also choose to learn more about wildlife conservation at the animal orphanage, or fish for trout in the property’s pretty ponds. When you return from your adventures, unwind with a soothing massage at the Safari Club’s tranquil spa – the perfect end to a perfect day.
