Sangare Ranch is located in a 6500 acre private ranch in the northern foothills of the Aberdare Mountains in Central Kenya.The camp situated in the Aberdare's most exquisite settings, overlooks a magnificent fresh water lake against the backdrop of Sangare hill.The spectacular views across the vast savannah make Sangare one of the richest private wildlife sanctuaries.
A non observant visitor may let pass the richness of the Gakanga Valley in Zaina Forest, Nyeri district. This is only discovered after one takes the initiative to treck down the steep slope which would qualify to be one of the best natural gymns for those struggling with excess weight. The slope stands at over 60% and by mere climbing up and down the hill, one is sure of losing at least a kilo for every two trips they make on the trail.
MAKING their way to the Outspan Hotel in Nyeri visitors are faced by this signboard, fixed to a pepper-tree at a turn of the drive. The Outspan has a lot of visitors: those who stay there while visiting Nyeri on duty or business, those who stay there for a holiday, those who use it as their base before going on to the world-famous "Treetops", and those who go there especially in order to see "Paxtu" itself, the last home of Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Movements.
Nyeri is a popular destination for relaxation, business, entertainment, and educational/cultural tourism. Its pubs offer lively entertainment, the farms in and around it offer pristine scenery, and the grave of the scouting Movement's founder, Lord Baden-Powell and his paxtu cottage are popular attractions.
From outside the gigantic brick sanctuary is an architectural marvel.Its location was chosen with great care to make it the perfect resting place. The serenity of the shrine is enhanced by a tree-lined drive and manicured lawns dotted with cone-shaped trees against the backdrop of the picturesque Nyeri Hill.
Encircled by the wild and beautiful moorlands of the third highest mountain range in Kenya, this atmospheric park offers a mist wreathed realm where elephants roam through lichen hung forests, spectacular waterfalls plunge into churning pools, and trout filled steams cascade through mossy dells. A haven for anglers and lovers of solitude alike, it also offers matchless views of the glittering coronet of Mount Kenya and the sparkling lakes of the Great Rift Valley.
Mt. Kenya is the jewel in the crown of the central Kenya circuit with gleaming snow-white peaks, it is the only massif to straddle the Equator, which runs 17 Kms from the highest peak. The mountain’s imposing height of 17,058 ft makes it the second in Africa after Kilimanjaro and the first in Kenya.The picturesque majestic landscape located 180 Kms north of Nairobi city is unique and listed among the world’s most impressive landscapes. It was inscribed on the World Heritage Site list in 1997 by the 21st session of the World Heritage Committee.Business Categories
