ACTIVITIES

FAMILY FUN

Get away to get closer. Swara Acacia Lodge provides the perfect atmosphere for family bonding. We love hosting groups traveling with children. Our jungle gym and sandbox are there to keep your tykes occupied, and they can try our painting and clay modeling sessions. We also have a resident kiddie entertainer who can engage and supervise the little ones, while you take a breather with a good book and glass of wine.
The whole family can take full advantage of the wildlife sanctuary, by going on safari drives together and exploring it via biking or hiking. The lodge itself is frequently visited by the neighboring wildlife too! Laugh at the monkeys jumping from roof to roof, go bird-spotting, and watch the free-roaming animals stroll by. The best part about it all is sharing it with good company.

SAFARI

Get up close and personal with the local wildlife. We have unbridled access to the private 20,000-acre Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy, which is home to over 3,000 animals and 300 avian species. Meet the cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and warthogs. Watch the grazing wildebeest, hartebeast, gazelle and antelope. Observe ostriches, hyenas, jackals and honey badgers in their natural habitat through your binoculars. Go on safari game drives in our vehicles, or do a self-guided tour using your own car. The sanctuary boasts a network of over 100 km of trails. We also organize night safari drives for the chance to see nocturnal animals come alive in the dark bush. There are 8 dams with boat rentals and river tours too, for those who wish to go fishing.

OUTDOOR PURSUIT

Exploring the sanctuary via bike rides and hikes has become very popular! Swara Acacia Lodge is Nairobi’s gateway to Kenya’s great outdoors. If you aspire more towards rugged adventure, you can opt to spend your days trekking or cycling into the wilderness. For sports enthusiasts, Swara Acacia Lodge offers onsite football, badminton, volleyball and table tennis. You can also wind down around the billiards table or dart board. Yoga practitioners can take their rejuvenating practice out in the bush. Archery lessons from a professional teacher can be arranged for both kids and adults.
