Boasting magnificent views of majestic Mount Kenya, the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club Resort's 120 luxuriously appointed hotel rooms, set in over 100 acres of landscaped gardens, offer a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Its no wonder that this Nanyuki resort emerged as winner in the 2013 Travellers Choice Awards and that Travel & Leisure Magazine often positions it in the 'World's Top 50' List. Originally the retreat of movie star and Club founder, William Holden, the Club's illustrious former members have included Winston Churchill and Bing Crosby.

A magnificent location, with birds, monkeys, llamas and hogs aplenty. We stayed for 6 nights. We had a suite which was comfortable but a little soulless. We had to ask twice for more bed clothes and heater. Access to the public areas required exit through to the outside and entrance by the bar which was not perfect. The restaurant was buffet or a la carte. We stuck with the latter having had 6 days of buffets at our last stop. The menu was very limited meaning I ate the same dish 3 times and the taste differed on each occasion! They ran out of Diet Coke ( no apologies only excuses ) and provided Dijon mustard for our steaks. Serving staff, of which there were many, were more quantity and less quality ( except Christine and Lavender ). The golf was 9 hole par 27. Caddy obligatory. Course was poorly maintained. Local ‘proper’ course doesn’t permit members. Perhaps the hotel could negotiate guest access? Animal orphanage fantastic, Swimming pool unheated, therefore quite cold. The only comfortable seating area in the evening was the bar or in your suite. Too cold to sit outside on the veranda. Staff tips were to the individual only, no general tip box.

The rooms are really comfortable and super clean. The hotel is actually also an animal réserve and orphanage, where you can actually admire beautiful and well treated animals. The view on mount kenya is fantastic. to also note the professionalism and kindness of the team. I will definitely come back

Great place to be. Had a nice time visiting Mount Kenya February 2024 and also visited in February 2025 with the same experience( and even more). I would encourage anyone visiting to be rest assured it's a good place to be with lots of activities.

Fantastic resort. Warm and lovely staff. Beautiful scenery. Would recommend definitely to everyone. I think this was the best work offsite I’ve had and the best part!!! I don’t even know- from the horse riding to the animal orphanage to the unlimited burger and alcohol to the bonfire nights! Just amazing

The services were good especially the room service and food was very delicious. PETER KIRABA, was the person giving us room service was a very humble and perfect person in his work. You had a variety of different types of food. The managers were on their toes all the time working tirelessly. T
