SWEETWATERS TENTED CAMP *****
This beautiful tented camp lies in the heart of a private game reserve, with magnificent views across the plains to the snow capped peaks of Mount Kenya . The thirty tents are luxuriously appointed and located in typical grassland savannah, dotted with acacia trees. The service here is personalised, with excellent attention to detail. There are also many activities to enjoy, including day and night game drives, nature walks, horse riding and visits to Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary.
MOUNT KENYA SAFARI CLUB *****
Luxury on a country club scale and retaining a strong sense of history, Mount Kenya Safari Club still connects with Hollywood and the royalty. The main club building is dotted with memorabilia - huge trophy heads from the days when hunting was permitted and photographs of famous actors, actresses and various celebrities, from past to the present day. Cottages retain an ambience recalling the 1950's - with huge French windows, white terrace furniture and large comfortable sofas in the central sitting rooms. Suites are more modern and very private, with vaulted ceilings and river-front sites. The roaring fires, fuelled by huge logs are lit every evening and add considerably to the feeling of soothing relaxation. The huge grounds at the Club are wonderfully kept and have stunning views.
OL PAJETA RANCH HOUSE, NANYUKI ****
Ol Pajeta Ranch House is set against the spectacular scenery of Mt. Kenya . The House offers exclusivity for a maximum of twelve guests. It is furnished with original and unusual paints and artefacts. All the six elegantly appointed suites overlook the extensive tropical gardens, which include two swimming pools.
RUTUNDU LOG CABINS ***
Rutundu are log cabins situated on the northern slopes of Mt. Kenya at 10,200ft just above the forest line. In total privacy, these cabins overlook Lake Rutundu and are surrounded by Alpine vegetation.
It is also an ideal spot for fishermen and hikers. Both Lake Rutundu and Lake Alice are stocked with rainbow trout and is only a two-hour walk to the mountains from the logs.
SERENA MOUNTAIN LODGE ***
Located at 7200 FT (2195M) on the slopes of the snow-capped mount Kenya, Serena Mountain Lodge is the most luxurious tree lodge in Kenya with private ensuite bathroom facilities.
At dusk the dense tropical rain forest comes alive with myriad sounds of creatures of various descriptions. The elephant, Rhino, several species of antelopes including the bongo and occasionally, both leopard and the lion are frequent visitors at the illuminated water hole which is connected to the lodge by a short tunnel to a specially constructed bunker affording a close up view of the game.
For the ornithologists, over 200 species of birds have been identified while the indigenous tropical rain forest vegetation is of special interest to the botanists.
The most rewarding experience is a clear early morning or afternoon view of the rocky peaks on Mount Kenya with its over half dozen glaciers.
NARO MORU RIVER LODGE **
This rustic "mountain" style Naro Moro River Lodge is set among trees along the banks of a rushing stream. The lodge serves as the popular base for climbing Mount Kenya and offers a wide variety of accommodations. Rooms meander among terraced rock gardens that follow natural contours above the river. There is a sense of sporty-ness and outdoor activity at Naro Moru. Many visitors come to climb the mountain; others come for bird watching or trout fishing. A peaceful forest path winds along the riverbank.
