Outspan Hotel - Nyeri, Mount Kenya Region
Outspan is located in Nyeri town, right in
the heart of Kenya's tea and coffee growing highlands. It is the
nearest hotel to the spectacular Karuru Falls and is an eden of
vibrant gardens and verdant green lawns. Peacocks add to the
charming ambiance as they roam at will.
The hotel was built in 1926 and was once
home to Lord and Lady Baden Powell, founders of the Scout and
Girl Guide movements. Their cottage Paxtu is now a museum that
is open to our visitors, and to scouts and guides from all over
the world.
