A group of Kenyan investors have begun the construction of a fully-fledged 5 billion shillings ($60 million) golf park project development near Mount Kenya . The project, Mt Kenya Holiday Homes, is expected to boost tourism and investment activities in Mt. Kenya and the neighbouring environs.
The Kenya Wildlife Services, documents that the Mt Kenya circuit which involves mountain climbing has suffered depressed growth due to lack of bed capacity. According to statistics about 100,000 tourists visit the circuit annually yet it can attract up to 300,000 persons.
Ark Consultants’ Director Reginald Okumu who leads the consortium said the Mt Kenya Holiday Homes will incorporate a serviced Helipad, Clubhouse, 9-hole lush green Golf Course and a solar powered perimeter fence. The project will feature 95 holiday homes.
“This project is by all means a first of a kind development proposition anchored on a social economic and environmental conservation and transformation for the wider Mt Kenya region.” said Okumu.
The project’s golf course construction works are 70 percent complete with a Danish technology Ultra-Modern greens and fairways pop-up sprinkler irrigation system installed by Irrico International Irrigation Systems now in place.

Swiss hotel giant to inject Sh7 bn into Nyeri mixed development plan

Business Daily

Global hotel chain, Swiss International Hotels and Resorts, has announced the investment of Sh7 billion into the construction of its first Kenyan outlet on the foothills of Mount Kenya.

The multinational has partnered with Mount Kenya Holiday Homes Ltd in a mixed development venture where 283 houses will be sold out and leased back to the global brand for use as rental villas.


The Swiss firm's chief executive Henri Kennedie said the project would be jointly executed with its Kenyan partner with its planned buy-leaseback model ensuring consistent flow of customers from the facility located in Nyeri county.

The development will boast a clubhouse, a nine hole reversible to 18 hole golf course as well as a 75-bed suite hotel.

Mr Kennedie said architectural plans for the 5-star resort surrounded by 281 villas, apartments, townhouses and an all-suite hotel near Naromoru town had since been approved allowing initiation of the project.


“In Nanyuki there is a wonderful airstrip and the view of Africa’s second highest mountain every evening and morning giving us a reason to build a serene environment for memorable leisure,” he said.

The CEO added that the facility would also provide conference and hotel facilities for company meetings as well as bonding meetings for local and international teams.

Mr Ndirangu Ndegwa of Mount Kenya Holiday Homes echoed that all regulatory approvals had been procured for the real estate project which sits on a 130 acre parcel of land that will be marketed globally to pensioners, business travellers and celebrities.
