Sweetwater Game Reserve
Stu and Fis Cunningham’s farm is the way camping is supposed to be! None of the luxuries of modern day camping, like flushing toilets, hot showers and DJ’s at the bar. Camping is about cracking a beer with mates and sharing stories around the camp fire. Taking the time to look at the sky and see natures magical midnight showcase……..the stars! Oh, did I mention that they do horse riding?
Sweetwater National Game Reserve is a little wonder. With Mount Kenya as the backdrop what more can you ask for. Except maybe the BIG 5! And let me tell you folks, they are here! But that is not the highlight. Not even Max, the tame 3 year old white rhino that wanders the park can take it away from this truly entertaining species of animal, the chimpanzee! At Sweetwater they have given poorly mistreated chimps the chance to have a better life and the freedom that such an intelligent animal deserves. But be warned! You do get close! These chimp carry mental and physical scars from many years of mistreatment from their past human owners and they are not shy in showing there distrust of their most closest evolutionary relative, man!
Travelling through this reserve is a pleasure. The freedom to sit atop a vehicle and take those most memorable photographs that you can boast about back home to friends and family is made easy here. So sit back, enjoy the park, you will not be disappointed!
