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 colonial British settlers 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 , 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 . Berkeley Cole was also the brother-in-law of Hugh, Lord Delamere, effective 'founder' of the White community in Kenya. Caroline Elkins describes the club as having had a reputation during colonial times as 'the Moulin Rouge of Africa', where the elite 'drank champagne and pink gin for breakfast, played cards, danced through the night, and generally woke up with someone else's spouse in the morning.'According to Ulf Aschan, The club had a rule, still in force today, that a member is entitled to damage any loose property as long as he pays double its value. 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.
