The Mount Kenya Safari Club

In between our "tent camping" we stayed at the beautiful Mount Kenya Safari Club, easily a 5 star resort.  With magnificent views of majestic Mount Kenya, the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club Resort is set in over 100 acres of landscaped gardens.  Originally the retreat of movie star and Club founder, William Holden, the Club's illustrious former members have included Winston Churchill and Bing Crosby.


After roughing it in a tent, we were quite happy to be spoiled.  It was cold and rainy (altitude 7000 feet) part of the time and we were grateful for the fireplace in our room and the hot water bottles placed in our bed each night.  

I must admit that we never saw an elephant with tusks this size.  Amazing!  

There were remnants of hunting days and roses throughout the resort.
