Great location off the main track and given the poor roads, was a pleasant surprise from the second the gate opened. Very personalized staff, rooms over looking endless landscaped gardens with Peacocks, Warthogs, Zebra's, Impalas, Eland's and list goes on. The Rothschild Giraffe's were a special treat and the horse ride among them was the Cherry on the cake! Supposed to have Leopards but never saw them...

The ambiance was fantastic! The whole staff was welcoming and friendly, from Mr. Joseph, who welcomes you with a charming smile, Sharron, who is attentive to your orders, Elijah, a fantastic tour guide, Kevin, an excellent GM who listens to every need, and the owner, who makes you feel right at home.

Rhino Watch Safari Lodge is an absolutely gorgeous facility with beautiful gardens that are perfectly maintained. Three property goes up a hill and we were on the top row in a chalet. This is essentially a small house with a veranda and a private garden. The most amazing thing was the perfect view of Mount Kenya, which is odd course called the shy mountain for good reason. We were there in February for 4 nights and we could get a clear view early in the morning. We didn't book full room and board, only with breakfast since we were exploring locally with our expert guide, Charles Mathenge. Charles was recommended by Rhino Watch and we used him for a long Safari. He is a naturalist by training and knows all the parks, animals, and plants by heart. Aberdares NP is close to the property and has a totally different climate from the plains - well worth it for gorgeous scenery, wild pigs and endangered monkeys. Rhino Watch is locally owned and the owners are very active with their own foundation to help the local community.
