Kenya is one of the most exciting destinations in the world. It is a seductive and beautiful land that delights and fascinates all who fall under its spell. A country rich in the wealth of its contrasts, its cultures and the welcome it extends to all who visit it. Rascals is pleased to feature the following hotels in its trips to Kenya: |
||
| The Norfolk Hotel | ||
 |
Older than the London Ritz, younger than The Savoy, no other hotel in Kenya has as rich a history as the Norfolk, one of the world's most romantic hotels. When it was first opened on Christmas Day, 1904, it was to spearhead traditions of hospitality in East Africa which are still unmatched today. Nairobi as a capital city grew up all around the Norfolk. From the new and old worlds the first guests came, many of noble birth. The guest list made its name as a legend then and still does so today. The The Norfolk Hotel is a thirty minute drive from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and a short distance from Nairobi's shopping and business district. Click here for a slideshow of this hotel. |

| Mount Kenya Safari Club | ||
 |
High on the slopes of Africa's second highest mountain, The Mount Kenya Safari Club straddles the equator in a glory of luxurious cottages and elegant buildings set amid manicured lawns and decorative ponds. Ever since the Club was 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 a Who's Who of royalty, aristocracy, and the rich and famous. The Club's history is as colourful and exciting as its members and visitors - from the pioneers who made the homestead and the farm their own, through its conversion into an upcountry hotel, to the uproarious narrative of the three-hell raisers who bought it on a whim and launched a legend. Whether visiting Kenya at a leisurely pace or stopping simply for lunch, the Mt Kenya Safari Club maintains an immutably majestic presence and is a touching reminder of the vision of its creators.

| Mara Safari Club | ||
 |
The luxurious Mara Safari Club is set in the Ol-Choro Oiroua Conservation Area, bordering the Masai Mara Game Reserve, at the foot of the Aitong Hills. Surrounded on three sides by the Mara River, all tents have their own private river frontage, with four-poster beds, verandah, electricity, modern en-suite facilities with hot and cold running water. The main building, with lounge, bar and dining room is cantilevered over the river. Game drives, guided by our experienced "driver-naturalists", are by four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser. At the Club, the pool, al fresco buffet lunches and nightly activities of Maasai dancing, slide shows and talks on the Mara's ecosystem and Maasai culture, all add up to create a truly unique experience.
