Nyeri Sports Club
3326 yards - par 33 - 9 holes
Nyeri Sports Club is the second oldest course in the country, founded in 1910. This 9-hole course is laid out in a superb setting and offers exquisite scenery. While standing on the tee of the 6th, Mt Kenya can be seen looming above the green, giving a breathtaking view of nature in all its glory.

The greens are well bunkered with both sand and grass traps. The roughs are the highest you will find anywhere as the lay-out skirts around a thick forest of very tall evergreens. Add to this mixture a stream and a valley, and you have the recipe for a difficult game of golf. Nyeri's golf course is very pretty indeed and highly recommended for play for the ardent and the family golfer.

Day 3
After breakfast you will drive back to Nairobi in your mini bus.

Day 1
Depart from Nairobi in the morning by bus and head towards the Mount Kenya region.

Mount Kenya & The Aberdares Region
These two neighbouring areas are in the Central Highlands of Kenya and have an amazing geography of contrast. The deep green of cultivated farmland gives way to the purple-gray scrub grass of high ranches where cattle, sheep and plains game graze. The mountain ranges are covered with forests with hidden trout streams. In the centre is the Mt. Kenya (5189m) - among the world's largest free-standing volcanic mountains.

The equator crosses the northern slopes of the Mt. Kenya at 3350 metres. At the equator slight variations of altitude create enormous changes in both climate and landscape causing diverse weather changes. You can pass from the cool misty forest of the Aberdares to the dry Laikipia Plateau scenery offers different choices to the traveler in terms of places to stay and activities. 185 kms to the Aberdares and 250 kms to Mount Kenya from Nairobi.

Mount Kenya Safari Club
This is the most luxurious club in Kenya - Mount Kenya Safari Club. Founded in 1959 by the late film star William Holden, eccentric American Ray Ryan and Swiss Financier Carl Hirschmann, it has been a Mecca for the International Jet Set - its list of Members reads like "Who's Who" of royalty, aristocracy, and the rich and famous.

The club offers a 9 hole golf course, horse trekking, tennis courts, health and beauty centre, shopping gallery and a heated swimming pool. The suites and studio suites are splendid, each with a private bathroom and shower, telephone and a log fireplace. Some are situated by the Riverside, making one feel like they are one with nature. 114 Rooms, Suites and Cottages.

Mount Kenya Golf Course
2184 metres par 27 - 9 holes Mount Kenya Safari Club is an experience that the visitor must include in his or her itinerary. Nowhere in the world do you come face to face with one of nature's greatest anomalies - a snow capped mountain lying on the equator! This exclusive rich man's retreat opened in 1959. Despite the fact that this is a 9 - hole pitch and putt, composed entirely of par 3 holes, it is absolutely brutal.

While the course is laid out on one of the most beautiful and serene settings in Africa, you have to be very accurate. The water hazards are many and coupling with the splendid views of Mount Kenya from virtually every hole on the course with the variety of flowers and birds decorating it, the golfer is sure to leave Mt. Kenya with lasting memories.

Today you will relax by the pool or play golf. You can also visit the game sanctuary.

Day 2
After breakfast you will drive back to Nairobi.
