The 24,000-acre Sweetwater’s Game Sanctuary is currently part of the Ol Pejeta conservancy. Formerly called Ol Pejeta Ranch. It was a cattle ranch for the breeding of beef cattle. One of the attractions of Sweetwater’s is the history behind it. In 1988, the former owner, Lonhro Africa, took over the management of the ranch. In 1989, they set up Sweetwater’s Game Reserve as a sanctuary for the endangered black rhino and other wildlife populations (including the “Big Five”). Between 1989 and 1993, twenty-two black rhinos were introduced into Sweetwaters from other sanctuaries. Today, with the birth of 29 calves, the population has steadily increased, making Sweetwater’s Sanctuary a successful breeding ground for these ancient animals.

Lunch is served at the Sweetwaters Serena Camp. Afterwards, relax for a while until 2pm when you proceed for an afternoon game drive. At 5pm exit the conservancy and drive to your hotel at Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari Club. Upon arrival proceed to check in and freshen up. Dinner followed by overnight at the hotel.
