Aberdare Country Club

The Aberdare Country Club, only a two-and-a-half-hour drive northeast of Nairobi, is nestled on a slope of Mweiga Hill in the Aberdare Highlands, part of the Great Rift Valley. This captivating site was the homestead of an English couple that decided to settle in Kenya. Almost a half-century later, their home, “The Steep”, was renamed the Aberdare Country Club and opened for guests. Considered a heritage property in Kenya,
The Aberdare Country Club has retained the charm of a private home with the simple comforts of a country inn. “Today, despite the fast-changing tempo of the outside world, the old home still retains that comfortable, solid feeling based on traditions from a time when life proceeded at a far more leisurely and gentle pace.” – Monty Brown’s book, Haven Under the Hill.
