The Sweetwaters Game Reserve is a one of a kind privately owned 22,000 acre of expansive plains, magnificient views and a wide variety of game. Particularly famous for the chimpanzee sanctuary and is also a breeding area for the black rhino.

There are two state of the art lodges in the Sweetwaters Game Reserve; the Sweetwaters Tented Camp and the Ol Pejeta Homestead, both of which treats visitors to the opportunity to watch wildlife through floodlit watering holes and salt licks as they take photographs of the animals in their natural habitat.

Visitors to the Sweetwaters Game Reserve are treated to day and night wildlife drives by customised Toyoya Landcruiser four wheel drive vehicles, bird walks, and camel safaris. If you wish to take a nature walk, an experienced ranger is always available to escort you through the game studded plains. You could also consider enjoying the unique phenomena of orphaned chimpanzees exploring their habitat, climbing trees and interacting with each other along the Ewaso Nyiro River, deep in the forest and savanna grasslands.

The Sweetwaters Game Reserve is sorrounded by other wildlife ranches and parks that are home to elephants, bongo antelopes, fishing pods where you have to pay for the fish you catch in the nearby streams and manmade dams, trekking, horse and camel rides. Most of this ranches are open to the public but the Sweetwaters Game Reserve has a costlier admission tag to it.
