Bantu Mountain Lodge

Kenya


This is a major base for Mt Kenya climbers and the operators of Old Moses Hut and Shipton’s Camp on the mountain. Popular with overland trucks, there are three classes of rooms and like most hotels in this price bracket, the rooms are serviceable enough but need refurbishment. You can no longer pay in cash.
