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.
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.
Solio Lodge is the only accommodation located within the historic 45,000-acre Solio Ranch and its private 19,000-acre Solio Reserve. The reserve enjoys impressive views of the Aberdare Range to the west and Mount Kenya to the east, creating a dramatic setting for wildlife viewing.
The lodge features just six spacious cottages, comfortably furnished and equipped with modern amenities, including complimentary Wi-Fi. Guests benefit from an exclusive safari experience with access to vast private wilderness. Game drives offer opportunities to see the Big Five—elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos—as well as many other protected species. The reserve is especially renowned for its large and carefully protected population of black rhinos, one of the most significant in Africa.
The main house at Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy, once the private residence of the renowned Wildenstein family, along with its charming cottages, sits on a rocky hill overlooking the expansive Laikipia Plateau in central Kenya. The conservancy offers a rare combination of refined comfort and exceptional privacy, set within a vast wildlife-rich environment with very few visitors, allowing for an exclusive safari experience.
