Mount Kenya Lodges And Safari Camps

A three-hour drive north of Nairobi brings you to the Kenya highlands. Home to Africa's second-largest mountain, Mount Kenya, and two of the oldest national parks: Aberdare and Mount Kenya and all this, excludes the numerous private wildlife concessions.

Lodges near Mount Kenya are well known for attracting sports-minded visitors with many hiking and walking trails, campsites, canoe and river rafting spots, as well as world-class trout fishing (without forgetting the unbelievable wildlife and birdlife on offer in the region).

There are some of the oldest of Kenya’s most famous safari lodges and interesting colonial architecture. Mount Kenya Safari Club and Treetops Lodge in the Aberdares where Queen Elizabeth spent her honeymoon are not to miss for the more historically minded visitor. The focus on historical architecture does not mean that there is a paucity of traditional safari activities. Game viewing is excellent in all the reserves, with large mixtures of plains, mountain wildlife, and birdlife.

Mount Kenya is also regarded as a holy mountain by all the local tribe's people. They believe that their traditional God, Ngai and his wife Mumbi, live on the mountain's peak and use it for their traditional rituals.

Although Mount Kenya straddles the equator, the relatively high altitude, 1800 metres and higher above sea level (surrounding reserves and concessions, not the mountain), the evenings can be quite chilly, so dress appropriately.

Our safari specialist consultants will be able to guide you as to the best choice of Mount Kenya Lodges as part of your bespoke Kenya itinerary.

    Impressions Of Kenya
    Kenya’s wildlife remains at the heart of its attractions, yet there is much more to discover in this fascinating country outside the game reserves. You can climb the slopes of Mount Kenya to find tropical ice on the Equator, or explore the coral reefs of the Mombasa coast.

  • Explore The Masai Mara By Balloon

    Explore The Masai Mara By Balloon
    It was one of those rare moments where you take in the majesty of nature in complete silence, disturbing nothing, saying nothing. In Kenya last month, I had the great pleasure of a balloon safari over the Masai Mara organised by the excellent and highly professional Governors Company.

  • Giraffe Manor Review

    Giraffe Manor Review
    Located in the southern suburbs of Nairobi is an English manor house. When it was built, the country was unclaimed bush rampant with African wildlife. The home of Karen Blixen is nearby who posthumously lends her name to this suburb, Karen.

  • Hells Gate Kenya

    Hells Gate Kenya
    I had visions of being trampled by buffalo, stalked by lions, or, given the extreme humidity and daytime temperatures, falling prey to one of the thousands of vultures who call Hell's Gate National Park their home. But our guide assured me that it would be fun.
