Twenty years ago, I visited the Mt. Kenya Safari Club for the first time. Then, it was a gracious, historic hotel founded in 1959 by film star William Holden. Set in a magnificent setting with glorious views of Mt. Kenya, the hotel enjoyed a fabled history populated by movie stars, royalty, and African explorers. Now, following a thorough renovation by... more

The hotel is plush and gorgeous...the service was wonderful too...it is by far the best hotel we stayed at...it does not have the cultural touch but the views are great...we went to their animal orphanage as well - though a bit overpriced...it was lovely because we got to feed a lot of the animals...all in all...an extremely expensive but beautiful... more

(First of all, I signed up for Trip Advisor so that I could write this review...that's how bad this place is- please be forewarned). Mt. Kenya Safari Club is set on beautiful grounds with gorgeous views of Mt. Kenya. Rooms are great, views are wonderful, well manicured grounds, nice pool- over all wonderful setting. BUT, none of this matters when... more

We arrived as part of a 'grown up back packing trip' for one night to the Mount Kenya Safari Club - certianly not good if you are a gap year-er. The welcome was friendly the hotel stunning and the views of Mount Kenya were stunning. It was so lovely that we were only due to stay one night and ended... more

Back after 20 years and what a disapointment. The setting is still one of the best in Africa, but they refurbished the hotel (which was badly needed, indeed) into the same standard rooms you can find in any five star hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Quebec or London. Ugly no-style copies of pseudo French Louis what-so-ever furniture. Open fire with fake... more

The hotel grounds are pretty but the rooms are very lodgey! They were remodeling some of their rooms: the suites but that was it. The hotel needs a major upgrade. The food staff just can't wait for you to eat and leave. I'm not sure wgere you should stay in the area but rethink unless you like that lodgey experience. more

I stayed at the Mount Kenya Safari Club December 2006. As part of a long Safari trip. It was like going back in time to the old Colonial days, when the British built splendid retreats in Africa, in luxuriouse surroundings. The Mount Kenya Safari Club is just that. Set in beautiful landscape gardens at the foot of Mount Kenya. with... more

My wife and I returned to Kenya for our 40th wedding anniversary (we met here). Staff and hotel were wonderful, manager found that we knew Kenya and arranged flowers to be provided at our next hotel!! Be warned, evenings can be cold, but wonderful fire in our banda (bungalow in Swahili) kept us snug. Magnificent views, get up early for... more

Our first night in Kenya was at The Safari Club. It is in a class of its own and even though there was building works in progress it did not spoil it. Our bungalow was lovely and the nights to us were still warm but we couldn't resist having the log fire lit. The bathroom was clean and we had... more

Superb grounds, riverview cottages are fantastic with fireplaces that they light each night. Hot water bottles in the bed to keep you warm. Food was great at dinner. A must is to visit the animal orphanage founded by Stephanie Powers. Hotel has the feel of the movie era it was created in by William Holden. Staff was friendly and accomodating.... more
