A traditional country hotel with strong historical
roots is Outspan, established in 1927, where
Lord Baden powell, founder of the Scouting movement,
spent the last three years of his life. Located
160km from Nairobi and 2km from Nyeri, Outspan
offers comfortable accommodation in recently
decorated twin rooms, garden suites and cottages
in a 45-acre setting with beautiful gardens.
There are also two purpose-built conference
rooms for creative meetings and training sessions.
The hotel’s chefs use fresh local produce
and traditional recipes to create wonderful
dishes. Amenities include tennis, squash, swimming,
billiards, badminton and, next door, a nine-hole
golf course.
Other activities include daily displays of
kikuyu traditional dances, nature walks along
the Chania river, escorted bird walks, excursions
to tea and coffee farms and morning and afternoon
game drives in the Aberdares Salient in four
wheel drive vehicles. Two purpose built conference
rooms each with 70 delegate capacity make an
ideal venue for an out-of-town meeting. There
is a business centre with PCs, fax, internet
access, and photocopier, which means you are
never out of touch with the office.
