NEWS: Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club Introduces Eco-Safaris

The hotel is situated within the private Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy and on the slopes of Mount Kenya.

Surrounded by forests, the hotel is now inviting guests to take part in a variety of experiences that are relating to wildlife through conscious safaris via walking, biking and horse riding.

The Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club has a keen focus on sustainability, conservation, and supporting the circular economy of the ecosystem and wants to introduce its guests to leisure activities and experiences beyond the car safari – known as the signature track of the Mara region – such as walking, biking and horse riding safaris. 

Taking place around the year, these safaris will offer  access to the remarkable resilience of nature, and the spectacular Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club estate, spread across 100 acres of carefully manicured gardens.

As well as the outdoor activities, the hotel is offering bush dining experiences in the company of the elusive mountain bongos. Due to the collaboration between between Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy and Kenya Wildlife Services, the site has restored elephants and giraffes, which provide unforgettable experiences for visitors. 

Meanwhile, those who wish to contribute conservation efforts can participate in animal adoption programs, which also benefit the welfare of rescued animals and the work of the conservancy. 

Visitors are equally encouraged to plant a tree in the magical Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy or a rose within the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club estate, as a way of helping to restore the slopes of the majestic Mount Kenya.

For those wanting to explore the forest, set not too far away from the hotel, they can take part in an adventure guided by expert rangers. Different from the savannah landscape, guests can discover the diverse flora and fauna hidden within this enchanting realm: encountering a variety of magnificent creatures, from the iconic Burchell zebra and powerful African cape buffaloes to the fascinating waterbuck and the endangered mountain bongo.
