5 Days Kenya Wildlife Safari

DAY 01:  Drive to Aberdares national park, game viewing

Pick up in Nairobi in the morning and drive northwards via the scenic surroundings to Aberdares National, our ultimate destination is Sweetwaters Tented Camp, a beautiful Tented Camp which lies in the heart of the Sweetwaters Game Reserve. But in the early 70’s, the main building was originally the residence of billionaire Adnan Khashoggi’s ranch manager. The 30 luxuriously appointed en-suite tents have magnificent views across the plains to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya.
Located in typical savannah grasslands, interrupted by the ‘Whistling Thorn’ shrubs and Acacia trees, Sweetwaters Tented Camp is truly an oasis. It offers guests the indulgence of a swimming pool, some of the finest tented accommodation in Kenya and personalized service and attention.
At sweetwaters, there is plenty to see. Guests set out on game drives where their companions are giraffe, Zebra, Eland, Oryx, water buck, Grant’s gazelle, Thompson’s gazelle, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, lion, silver-backed Jackals, Ostrich, Hartebeest, Baboon and Rhino. There are also several hundred-bird species to be observed. Luxury tents, excellent game viewing and superb cuisine place Sweetwaters tented camp in a class of its own.
