The Aberdare Country Club, only a two and a half hour drive northeast from Nairobi, is nestled on a slope of Mweiga Hill in the Aberdare Highlands, part of the Great Rift Valley. 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. The Aberdare Mountains are most awe-inspiring at sunset, so before sampling a dinner of Indian and intercontinental food, you should find a comfortable place next to the pool or arrange sundowners on Kamatongu Hill to watch the sun sink below the horizon.
