We spent 10 nights in Nanyuki, so as to write a great review of Sweetwaters in the Mount Kenya area of Kenya.
Sweetwaters Tented Camp is in a class of its own. Abounding with wildlife, designed to provide a fascinating mix of under canvas ambiance and uncompromising luxury, it has long been the preferred retreat of wilderness and safari lovers alike.
Incredible experience with 15 giraffes visiting the waterhole immediately across from our tent - less than 100 feet away! With giraffes, warthogs, zebras and waterbucks visiting every day this was a superb break from the dusty game drives. Alert staff, excellent food and plush tents made for a remarkable vacation. The infrequent lion roar in the middle of the night added a particularly special "extra!
While at Sweetwaters the staff kindly told us about the new Lily Pond Arts Centre on the equator in Nanyuki.
The employees at Sweetwaters were adamant that we visited the enormous art gallery, as it displays reasonable contemporary art from East Africa's top latest artists, away from the hustle of town life.
You can choose to either suck up the atmosphere of this untroubled and special African arts place, or meet the "Artists in Residence". The Art Gallery houses art graduates from art schools in Nairobi, Kenya who are on full-time, long term placements at the arts centre, producing and showing new reasonable art works.
This new art studio in Nanyuki, will operate as a springboard for young artists to launch their art careers, while permitting safari visitors to buy original artworks.
Safari guests can also enjoy a good lunch on a deck, overlooking a huge lily pool.
With the great Mount Kenya Mountain as a backdrop, art visitors can also like watching the white egret, hunting the frogs in the pond!
What Kenyan safari guests find amazing is that the equator slices clean thru the middle of this Arts Centre. This indicates that you can view provoking African art in both the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere!
This new Arts Centre in Nanyuki, has just installed a new equator sculpture, the Wish Globe, which is installed exactly at 0000000. Everybody writes down their wishes and then hangs them onto the "Wish Globe".
The contemporary Arts Centre is also a unique opportunity to buy special hand- made African gifts such as beaded sandals, recycled flip flop toys, African masks, Glass chimes, Kenyan metal geckos and a lot more weird African gift concepts.
