Old Limuru Rd,
P.O. Box 39508, Nairobi 00623.
Sometimes described as the ultimate white settlers’
club, Kentmere Club at Tigonis is located in
the heart of the highlands amid tea and coffee
plantations some 30 km from Nairobi on the old
Naivasha Rd.
The Kentmere is generally recognized at the
least spoiled of the old colonial country clubs
and is the very essence of what an old English
Club should be. Its authenticity makes the club
a firm favourite with overseas visitors. Even
today, it has a charming English-style pub with
an open fireplace, wooden beans and low ceilings.
There’s also a restaurant, which serves
a superb range of gourmet food with a special
emphasis on French cuisine. There are a total
of 16 cottages for guests set in the Club’s
magnificent gardens and the ideal base from
which to explore the area around Limuru on the
edge of the Great Rift Valley. There are also
conference facilities for up to 16 people.
