Location:
| High on
the slopes of Africa's second highest mountain, The Mount Kenya Safari
Club straddles the equator in a glory of luxurious cottages and
elegant buildings set amid manicured lawns and decorative ponds. Ever
since the Club was founded in 1959 by the late film star William
Holden, eccentric American Ray Ryan, and Swiss financier Carl
Hirschmann, it has been a Mecca for the international jet set - its
list of members reads like a Who's Who of royalty, aristocracy, and
the rich and famous. |

 |
The Club's
history is as colorful and exciting as its members and visitors - from
the pioneers who made the homestead and the farm their own, through
its conversion into an upcountry hotel, to the uproarious narrative of
the three-hell raisers who bought it on a whim and launched a legend. |
| Whether
visiting Kenya at a leisurely pace or stopping simply for lunch, the
Mount Kenya Safari Club maintains an immutably majestic presence and
is a touching reminder of the vision of its creators. Mount Kenya
Safari Club is a two and a half hour drive from Nairobi.
Alternatively, it is a fifty minute flight to Nanyuki airstrip and a
fifteen minute transfer drive to the club. |
