Activities &
Experiences

From an infinity pool gazing at Mt Kenya to game drives across three wildlife reserves — every day at Rhino Watch is different.

01

Infinity Pool

Swimming with
Mt Kenya on the Horizon.

Our infinity pool stretches toward Mt Kenya — 15 metres long and 8 metres wide, with 1.90 metres of depth at the infinity end. On a clear morning the mountain fills the view completely. A separate baby pool sits alongside, making it a genuine family space.

Covered lounging areas line the pool deck. Bring a book. There is no schedule to keep.

Bird Watching & Photo Hide

Kenya is a Paradise
for Bird Watching.

Around the lodge alone, countless species are visible throughout the day. Endemic species include the eagle owl, while birds of prey are exceptional — fish eagles, Augur buzzards, crested eagles, and snake eagles are regular sightings. European rollers and starlings add colour to the canopy.

Our dedicated photography hide puts you at ground level, undetected, at the right light. Guided birding walks are available on request.

Guided Game Drives

Three Reserves.
One Lodge.

Day trips to Solio Game Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and Aberdare National Park depart directly from the lodge. Each reserve offers a distinct experience — Solio for rhino, Ol Pejeta for Big Five and chimpanzees, the Aberdare for forest elephant, leopard, and the rare bongo.

All drives are guided by specialists. An exclusive vehicle charter is available for groups wanting their own pace.

Giraffe Walk

15 Minutes Away.
A World Apart.

Located only 15 minutes from the lodge is a small private reserve offering guided walks with giraffes, zebras, and antelope in their natural habitat. It is a genuinely different pace from a game drive — on foot, unhurried, and close enough to watch rather than photograph.

A truly wonderful way to experience Africa's wildlife. Suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

Kimathi Walk & Coffee Safari

The Mt Kenya
Coffee Story.

Visit a working coffee farm in the Mt Kenya region and experience first-hand what it means to be a coffee farmer in Kenya. The tour ends at the Kimathi Walk — where the full journey from seedling to cup is told at the source.

The Nyeri highlands produce some of the world's most sought-after Arabica. This is a rare chance to see exactly why.

Hiking

Aberdares & Mt Kenya.
Waterfalls & Moorland.

The Aberdare range and Mount Kenya offer hiking routes for every level — from forest walks with dramatic waterfalls to full mountain ascents. The landscapes shift from dense montane forest to open moorland to high-altitude desert, all within a day's reach of the lodge.

Our team can arrange guides and logistics for day hikes or longer expeditions based on your group's experience and ambition.
