OUTSPAN GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB.

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 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.
