Pros
- • Course on site — first tee is a short walk
- • Forgiving enough for mixed-ability groups
- • Altitude adds roughly 8–10% carry
Worth knowing
- • Nine holes only — most golfers play two loops
- • Big hitters may find it short off the back tees
- • Early tee times are cold before the sun burns off
Wildlife on our doorstep
The tents are comfortable, the food is generous and the team remembers your name from day one. The private guide and all-inclusive dining were worth every dollar.

Faultless service
Game drives from Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club were consistently excellent — we saw lion and cheetah on our first morning. The private guide and all-inclusive dining were worth every dollar.
