Located on the slopes of Africa's second highest peak, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club now offers eco-friendly safaris where guests can walk, bike and ride horses instead of traveling by car.
Sustainability and conservation are essential elements of the hotel. The forest surrounding the property provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including the endangered Bongo antelope, zebra, buffalo, and water antelope. Guests can observe mountain bongos up close in the expansive reserve and Kenya's first bongo sanctuary. Travelers who want to help conservation efforts can participate in the animal adoption program, which also benefits the welfare of rescued animals and the work of conservation organizations.
