Mutara Camp sits on a high cliff with amazing views, located north of the ancient Aberdare Forest. This forest is famous because it is where Elizabeth II became Queen over 70 years ago. To the west, you can see the snow-covered peaks of Mount Kenya.
As the only lodge in the 20,000-acre Mutara Conservancy, the camp is very private and romantic. You will see plenty of incredible wildlife while enjoying excellent personal service. With its beautiful tents and wild setting, Mutara Camp is a truly special place to stay.

Our 15 large tents are built to the highest standards. They feel more like luxury rooms than tents. Each one features a comfortable king-size bed and a large private bathroom with a powerful hot shower.
You can relax in your private seating area with Wi-Fi and a fully stocked minibar. Every tent also has a private deck where you can enjoy a drink under the wide African sky.
In our main lounge, you can relax in soft leather chairs under beautiful chandeliers and share stories about the animals you saw. Our team and your Safari Director are always available to make sure you have everything you need for a perfect, stress-free stay.
Between exciting game drives, you will see lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and much more. When you are not on safari, you can enjoy a relaxing swim in our pool or watch the animals visit the waterhole as you enjoy a drink at sunset.
We also offer delicious meals served outdoors in the bush. While you are here, don’t miss the chance to visit the nearby Chimpanzee Sanctuary or see the world’s last two Northern White Rhinos, which are protected right here in our conservancy.
Sirikoi heralds a new era of ultra-luxury, where true status is found in silence, space, and deep connection. Set within a 68,000-acre UNESCO World Heritage sanctuary, this is one of Africa’s most remote and prestigious addresses. Here, “restoration” is not just a word; it is the simple, private joy of watching ancient elephant families gather at your watering hole while you enjoy a quiet moment of reflection from your deck.
This is a realm of absolute exclusivity, where couples find profound intimacy and families forge unbreakable bonds amidst a landscape home to the world’s rarest species—from the black rhino to the majestic Grevy’s zebra. Sirikoi’s architectural elegance, featuring opulent tents and private luxury cottages, is matched only by a level of bespoke African hospitality that feels less like a hotel and more like a grand private estate. In this untamed corner of Lewa, luxury is measured by the stillness of the wild and the warmth of the people who call it home.
Once the private home of Italian nobleman Count Ancilotto, Loisaba blends historic charm with refined rustic luxury. The tented camp offers twelve spacious tents featuring floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, polished wooden floors, and elegant Africana décor with subtle European influences.
Among its most unique experiences are the famous star beds—beautiful four-poster beds set on raised wooden platforms beneath thatched roofs. These can be rolled onto private decks, allowing guests to sleep under Kenya’s vast, star-filled skies. Each retreat is privately positioned in the wilderness and includes dedicated staff, open-air dining, a full bathroom, and sweeping views across 60,000 acres of wildlife-rich landscape.
Through its partnerships with The Nature Conservancy and Space for Giants, Loisaba also plays an important role in protecting elephants, lions, wild dogs, and many other iconic species.
The Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club offers a rare, heartwarming feature not found elsewhere: a remarkable Wildlife Rescue Center. Managed in partnership with the William Holden Wildlife Foundation, this facility is dedicated to the compassionate rehabilitation of animals found abandoned or injured in the wild. Many of the resident creatures are remarkably gentle, providing guests with the extraordinary privilege of interacting with them, including direct hand-feeding, petting, and supervised handling. This is an unparalleled opportunity for a close, meaningful encounter with resilient wildlife that has been given a second chance through the Club’s commitment.
The allure of this estate extends far beyond conservation. Established half a century ago by the legendary screen actor William Holden, the Club quickly became an exclusive destination for the world’s elite. Its continued magnetism stems from its perfect setting: a tranquil, temperate haven located at the majestic base of Mount Kenya. For decades, it has served as a glamorous retreat for political icons and cinematic greats, with esteemed members like Sir Winston Churchill, Clark Gable, and John Wayne seeking respite in its luxurious embrace. The Club’s history is interwoven with fame, offering a truly distinguished escape defined by natural beauty and a powerful, enduring legacy.
