Outspan Golf and Country Club in Nyeri is
a gracious, solid, and a comfortable hotel. Its setting
carefully chosen in 1928, with views of Mount Kenya
and framed by the white water of the Chania River, the
Outspan is the nearest hotel to the spectacular Karua
Falls in the Aberdares National Park. The gardens are
beautifully manicured and the rooms still retain the
qualities of a historical and well-established property.
The 30-acre setting lends itself to conferences and
training sessions with numerous activities for the leisure
hours. Another 16 acres bordering the river are set
aside for nature walks. With a round or two of golf,
and a visit to Treetops, the Outspan is a very special
country hotel.
The rooms are spacious and airy, most with fireplaces
and garden access. The rooms in the new Chania Wing
are wood paneled with a fireplace, balcony, satellite
TV and mini bar. The remaining rooms are older in style
reminiscent of the 1920's with colonial sized bathrooms.

rooms, 3 cottages.
