Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club Reviews

Excellent location, nice animal orphanage ,

This is one of the most satisfying hotels during this trip to Kenya. The environment is very good and the room is clean and tidy. There is also a fireplace. The service staff will help to light the fire at night. The restaurant tastes good~ The hotel is in a good location and should be a must-see hotel for visiting Mount Kenya^_^

Very beautiful, many items to choose from.

Environment: Very comfortable Hygiene: clean The service was excellent Facilities: very good Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club gave me a very satisfying and unforgettable stay. Already recommended to friends!

I love this hotel so much. I can definitely stay in the hotel for a few days. It was the first time I felt a real fireplace. The kids were very excited. Mount Kenya and the national park have a completely different feeling. It is very clean. You can see that the people here are relatively wealthy. It is a different scene.

The hotel has warm service, the rooms are clean and tidy, and you can see many animals walking by from time to time on the golf course and public areas of the hotel. It is also a good experience to swing at the equatorial golf course.

Great, serene property………….. Great food………:::: Great staff…… Rooms are great, gardens are well kept Not far from Nanyuki town and just about 2.5hrs from Nairobi. Right next to Mt Kenya which is the highest mountain in Kenya. The team is keen to details like special days and celebrations. They can also organize a bush dinners, golf or hikes.

It's a very relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful landscape Staff very courteous Great meals It's in a cold place and they make sure there's sufficient heating And they make you feel celebrated for your special moments anniversaries and birthdays An animal orphanage with lions, cheetah, leopard, many llamas plus many more It's worth your time and money

Lovely stay as always!! Great staff, great service, great views! Cynthia is particularly lovely! I came for a solocation and I felt the warmth of the place, safe and very considered. Good place for anyone looking for a solo travel! I shall definitely be back.

First time in Africa, I never expected to find such a beautiful hotel here; it’s completely different from what I imagined. The moment I entered the hotel, I was stunned by the breathtaking scenery, and all the staff were so warm and welcoming. I wish I could stay in this beautiful place forever. I chose one of the hotel’s activities, and having a guide along with two armed guards showing me the local flora and fauna was definitely a unique experience.

My family and I stayed 2 nights at Mt. Kenya Safari club to end our safari and it was a great stay! The staff was very friendly and attentive and the room amenities and fireplace in your room at night was a lovely touch. The view from the backporch at Zebar of Mt. Kenya was incredible.

After days in the wilds of Kenya, our stay at Fairmont Mount Kenya was a real treat—one of our best experiences in Africa. The service was excellent, and while the food was just okay, we still loved our time here. Breakfast with the bongo was a highlight, and the Samburu game drive with Kelvin was fantastic—he taught us so much about the Samburu Big 5. The hotel even arranged a special lunch inside Samburu, which was a nice touch. Paul, who lit our fireplace, was very friendly and showed us how to do it. We also visited their conservancy and got up close with a cheetah, a 200-year-old turtle, llamas, and monkey with moustache! My husband also had a great time playing golf with Simon. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back. We highly recommend it to family and friends.

Amazing time at the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club! I really love the peaceful grounds here. And after a quick night stay previously, I really wanted to come back! My favorite room style is the garden suite; this room is elegantly styled, has a fireplace and yet is cozy - not impersonal or sprawling — and you will have a perfect (secluded) view of the mountain. The orphanage is a REAL treat; all the animals and tour guides are super! I also went and pet the horses in the stables, who are also equally friendly and sweet. But the Bongo breakfast was for sure* a highlight!!! (Can’t recommend enough; can be done solo also - something special to remember for a lifetime). Thanks to several staff for making this “quiet” birthday trip happy/ memorable: Agnes, Anthony, Mr. Richard Maina the courier, and all of the staff at dining (can’t recall all names) but the service this was time was 5-stars all around! Asante!

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.
