Location: The Aberdare Mountains, Kenya.
Sangare is quite simply one of the most beautiful private
farms in Kenya, a 6,500 acre property at an altitude of 6,000
feet in the foothills of the Aberdare Mountains with spectacular
views across the valley to Mount Kenya. It is in a very
picturesque part of the country; the rolling scenery consists of
wooded ravines, open meadows, dense thickets and meandering
crystal clear trout streams regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout
- ideal for the keen fisherman.
The owner, Mike Prettejohn, lives in a lovely old homestead
nearby, while the guest accommodation consists of six en-suite
tented units and an attractive cedar wood cottage for our bar
and dining room. The camp is overlooking a small lake and
encircled by tall yellow fever acacia trees where Elephant and
Buffalo are regular visitors. If you are looking for peace and
privacy you will find it at Sangare in abundance, coupled with
the atmosphere of 'Old Africa' and a unique glimpse into Kenyan
"homestead life".
The Ranch is home to a wide variety of wildlife including
some 70 Elephant. You can be escorted by the Ranch's resident
guides to view the animals at an exciting close range on foot or
on horseback.
Nearby is one of Kenya's least visited yet most impressive
National Parks - the Aberdare Mountains where on the moorlands,
one may explore the intricate ecological complexities of the
Afro-Alpine environment of East Africa's high volcanoes. We will
see endemic plants such as lobelia, groundsel and senecio all
perfectly adapted for these unique climatic conditions,
experiencing both summer and winter temperatures in a single
24-hour period.
