We chose the Abardare for purely economic reasons after considering the Mt. Kenya Fairmont Safari Hotel. We traveled to the Mt Kenya Safari for lunch and were even more delighted with our choice after that visit.
The Abardare offers everything one could want except outrageous NY prices and stuffy staff in a beautiful,, natural environment. The spa was a delight, horseback riding safari offered good sightings of giraffe, zebra, warthogs and birds and every staff member was warm, helpful and tons fo fun.
