Perched on the slopes of Africa's second-highest mountain, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club now offers eco-friendly safaris where guests can walk, bike or horseback rather than travel in motorized vehicles.
Sustainability and conservation are fundamental to the hotel. The forest surrounding the property is home to a variety of wildlife, including the endangered mountain bongo antelope, zebra, buffalo, and waterbuck. Guests can get up close and personal with mountain bongos in the vast reserve, Kenya's first bongo sanctuary. Travelers who want to support conservation efforts can participate in the animal adoption program. This also benefits the welfare of rescued animals and the work of conservation organizations.
