SWEETWATERS
TENTED CAMP - SWEEWATERS GAME SANCTUARY,
KENYA
- Sweetwaters Tented Camp:
A sheltered oasis, clustered around a waterhole and set in the
pristine calm of its own private reserve, Sweetwaters Tented Camp is
in a class of its own. Abounding with wildlife, unfettered by the more
rigorous strictures of the Kenyan National Parks and designed to offer
a charming blend of under canvas ambiance and uncompromising luxury,
it has long been the preferred retreat of wilderness and safari lovers
alike. One of only four private game reserves in Kenya, Sweetwaters
Tented Camp excels in the provision of privileged seclusion and
private game viewing. Thanks to its private status it also allows such
unforgettable pleasures as night game drives, guided bush walks and
both horse or camel riding across its game-teaming plains.
- Sweetwaters Tented Camp Rooms:
Accommodation
is provided in 39 luxuriously appointed tents (13 doubles, 26 twins).
Each tent has a thatched roof, an en suite bathroom and its own
verandah with views over the waterhole. Full room service is provided.
- The Dining at
Sweetwaters Tented Campe:
The camp prides itself on the quality
of its cuisine offering a 5-course "table d’hôte" dining experience
every night, and a selection of African, Asian, and international
dishes. The "Rhino Restaurant" is accommodated amidst the quaint charm
of the main house, which was once the home of the Ranch Manager. Here
open windows look out over stunning views and the traditional décor
features soft sofas, traditional prints and splendid stone-built
fireplaces.
Al fresco dining
The camp also offers a memorable selection of safari
luncheons, bush dinners, campfire suppers and "sundowners" safari
cocktails.
Sweetwaters Tented Camp Waterhole bar:
Raised on timbered poles this enchanted evening hideaway
offers an uninterrupted view of the waterhole and its many wilderness
visitors.
Kashoggi Bar and Lounge
With its blazing log fire, soft lights and enveloping
ambiance, this is the ideal venue in which to enjoy a light aperitif
or a relaxing nightcap.

Mount Kenya is Africa’s
second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058
feet) and the highest of all Kenya
Mountains. Mount Kenya is roughly circular, about 60km across at the
200mm contour, where the steep font hills rise out of the gentler slopes
of the centered highlands. At the centre of the massif, the main peaks
rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main summit of Batian 5,199m,
Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other major summits on the
mountain include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton 4,885 and Point John
4,883m. Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point
Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for
technical climbers. |

Africa's highest
mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro stands on featureless part of the East
African plateau, on the Tanzanian side of the Kenya border near Moshi,
side by side with the smaller Mount Meru. These mountains are extinct
volcanoes, with Kilimanjaro actually being the agglomeration of three
distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/ 19,340 ft), Mwenzi (5,149 / 16,896 ft)
and Shira (3,962m / 13,000 ft). whose violent creation is geologically
associated with the creation of the Great Rift Valley, 100km to the
West. |
|
Mount Meru is Mount
Kilimanjaro's little sister, standing at 4,566m compared to 5,895m, but
is still an impressive freestanding volcano, which makes a superb four
day climb to the top. It last erupted in 1910 therefore can be
classified as an active volcano. The first Mount Meru ascent was made by Dr. Fritz
Jaeger, 1904. The town of Arusha lies at the base of Mount Meru
Trekking, loads of trek companies do this trek. Wild animals are
frequently found on this mountain therefore an armed ranger usually
accompanies the trekkers. |
