The Lake Rutundu Log Cabins are situated in a remarkable setting on Mount Kenya. This is an unusual opportunity to fly fish for both rainbow and brown trout at a height of 10,000 ft.

Rutundu log cabins on Mount Kenya.

The cabins are built with natural materials in an original log cabins.
Sheepskin rugs and open fires ensure a cosy warm atmosphere at night.  Two cabins sleep four people each comfortably but there is room for more. Hot water is heated in kuni (wood) boosters using old heather roots for fuel.

Fishing

The main attraction of Lake Rutundu is the fact that is privately stocked with rainbow and brown trout. The staff at the Cabins are also trained gillies and using barbless hooks and a rowing boat, many hours can be spent trying your luck in perfect tranquil conditions.

No previous fishing experience is necessary and in fact many visitors come purely to enjoy the unique mountain scenery.

Extraordinary walks and additional fishing on the stunning Lake Alice at 12,200 feet make this trip a worthwhile and memorable experience.

Other

There is a beautiful walk around Lake Alice, through Giant Groundsel and Heather forests. In contrast to this moorland terrain, the Cedar and Podo forest, a half hour drive below Rutundu, provides lovely walks and picnic sites.

Due to Rutundus unique location there are ample opportunities for birdwatchers, not least from the breakfast table where scarlet-tufted malachite sunbirds Nectarinia johnstoni are seen most mornings.
