  • The Huntress The intense stare, concentration, and stealth approach of the huntress towards her prey is a vision to behold. In a pride of lions, the lioness is typically responsible for the hunting. Hunts are most often conducted in the evening, but hunger trumps any rules of the jungle. Early this morning, we spotted this female sauntering with purpose. A lone waterbuck was grazing at a nearby watering hole. The cat was honed in on this potential meal and silently moved into position without a sound. The water buck was oblivious to the hunter creeping ever so closely. We sat in our safari vehicle and observed the huntress close the gap of her prey to less than 30 yards. She crouched in the grass and we waited.

Entorno increíble.

Precioso hotel, servicio impecable, muy buen desayuno, comidas correctas, algo lentos los camareros. Habitación y cuarto de baño grandes y cómodos. Vistas directas al monte Kenia. Jardines cuidadisimos, tiene posibilidad de elegir entre muchas actividades. Un poco ruidoso: es un hotel muy enfocado a familias.

perfect Easter at Mount

The place is really beautiful. The staff are very friendly and their services are efficient i had a problem with hot water and is was fixed in minutes. The fire place and hot water bottles at turndown was really good. I feel the food needed some improvement especialy breakfast. Also consider serving pork on different stations not same with the other foods.

Well worth to visit, but expensive!

The hotel is a destination itself, with a view beyond the normal! Well worth visiting, for 1-3 nights. But, the cost of the additional activities is shameless, 220 USD + entry fee for an hours drive to the foot of the mountain itself is way beyond fair. Likewise the same price, plus entry fee for a four hour safari.

Living on reputation-bad service

No doubt the grounds and our suite was wonderful, the fireplace was a lovely touch. There were too many small things that went wrong which ended up making it an annoying and bad experience. Breakfast team took at least 40 minutes after opening to get coffee, toaster etc going after announced opening time to the frustration of many clients who had outdoor activities planned. Apparently this establishment does not serve butter... just margerine. No coffee service.There was no quiet place for other clients who were drowned out by a large extremely noisy group. Details in the rather costly suite : one mattress had a dent in it compared to other mattress... making it a slopiey experience. My pan seared fish was raw...which I sent back. husband ate his dinner alone - new fish took half an hour. I left grumpy and disappointed. Could not get away sooner..

Classic British rustic chic safari setting

The room was beautiful with 2 French doors overlooking the grounds and lawn. Nighttime service included turndown, lighted fireplace (if desired), and an old-style hot-water bottle as there is no central heating or cooling. I kept the French doors open at night for the pleasant air and the sound of distant birds and animals. Of particular note is the animal orphanage as part of the complex. Great experience to see, pet, and feed many of the animals while learning about the hotel's conservation efforts. Meals were bountiful, although dinner entrees, while fine, were not noteworthy.
