The Muthaiga Country Club is a club in Nairobi, Kenya. It is located in the suburb of Muthaiga, about 15 minutes' drive from the city centre. The Muthaiga Country Club opened on New Year's Eve in 1913, and became a gathering place for the British expat ruling élite in British East Africa, which later became, in 1920, the Colony of Kenya. One of the club's main founders was The Hon Berkeley Cole (1882-1925), an Anglo-Irish aristocrat from Ulster. Cole was a son of The 4th Earl of Enniskillen and was a brother of The Hon Lowry Cole (1881-1929). Berkeley Cole was also the brother-in-law of Hugh, Lord Delamere, effective 'founder' of the White community in Kenya. Today, the club is still frequented by the upper echelons of Kenyan society. In addition to social gatherings, the club offers accommodation. Many of its members play golf at the nearby Muthaiga Golf Club. ==See also== *''White Mischief'' (1987 film) *''Out of Africa'' (memoir, originally published in 1937) *''Out of Africa'' (1985 film) *Happy Valley set *Denys Finch Hatton *Beryl Markham 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muthaiga Country Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
