SWEETWATERS GAME RESERVE- SAFARIS
Nestled between Mt. Kenya to the east and the Aberdares
Mountains to the west, Sweetwaters Game Reserve is a privately
held reserve covering some 24,000 acres. You stay in tents
adjacent to a waterhole, which provides for a constant
procession of animals taking their turn at the precious
resource.
The reserve boasts a plethora of wildlife - over 400 species
of birds, lion, elephant, rhino and cheetah to name just a
few. Morani, a black rhino, was rescued as a baby after he was
found wandering near his mother who had been killed by
poachers in Amboseli National Park. After having been taken to
three or four other locations where unfortunately his safety
was put at risk by both the presence of poachers and attacks
by other rhinos, Morani came to Sweetwaters where he lives in
his own 100-acre enclosure, protected 24-hours by armed
guards.
Also at Morani's Boma (which means "warrior" in Masai) you
will find Carol, a tame warthog. Carol was brought to the
Sanctuary when she was found abandoned by her mother on the
Ranch, and she lives in a smaller enclosure near Morani. She
often ambles around the compound, and loves to greet visitors
personally.
A 200-acre Chimpanzee sanctuary has been set up at Sweetwaters
Game Reserve. A visit to this Sanctuary and the 30-minute boat
ride (subject to fine weather) on the river among the chimps
is a must. |
|
 |
The aim of the project, initiated by Lonrho East
Africa, Kenya Wildlife Services and the Jane Goodall
Institute, was to set up a colony where chimps could be
introduced, rehabilitated and taught to fend for themselves in
an area similar to their natural living conditions. Priority
is given to orphaned and abused chimps. The Sanctuary
currently has 24 chimps, including two babies born in the
Sanctuary. An information centre near the chimps' enclosure
gives you amazing insight into the chimpanzees - did you know
that they have 98.6% of our genes? After walking through the
vast information and chimp paraphernalia you leave the center
with the feeling that you must do something to stop this
tragic "chimp trade". |
