The Zebar is the watering hole where you can mingle and make friends with other guests on their boutique trip in Kenya.

Or you could lounge beside the pool with drinks from the Swimming Pool Bar. While at the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, spend your day horse riding or exploring the locale on a nature walk in the company of a naturalist. Play a round of golf or croquet on their lawns or go bowling in the lodge's bowling alley.



You could also spend time playing table tennis, game drive at the nearby Ol Pejeta Sweetwaters Conservancy or perhaps go on a day trek up the mountain. For guests who intend only to relax on their Nanyuki holiday on the foothills of Mount Kenya, you may dip in for a leisurely swim in the outdoor heated pool.
