Nanyuki - Sweetwaters Game Reserve

Sweetwaters Game Reserve is run by Ol Pejeta Ranch and it boasts all of the "Big 5" game - lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo. Sweetwaters also has a Chimpanzee Sanctuary that was set up by Lonrho East Africa, Kenya Wildlife Services and the Jane Goodall Institute. A colony of chimps were introduced, rehabilitated and taught to fend for themselves in an area similar to their natural living conditions. Orphaned and abused chimps are given priority. The sanctuary currently houses 24 chimps, including two babies born in the sanctuary.

Manyatta, just outside the Serat Gate of the Sweetwaters Game Reserve, is a multicultural setting. Visitors are introduced to some of Kenya's tribes in their own environment. The Maasai, Pokot, Turkana, Samburu men and women allow you into their homes, sell their traditional wares, show off their ritual dances and allow a glimpse of their lifestyle.
