Rhino watch safari lodge
The Rhino Watch Safari Lodge is in the central Kenyan highlands and offers a beautiful view of Mt Kenya. Surrounded by three wildlife reserves the lodge provides an ideal base for safari game drives.
The Rhino Watch Safari Lodge is located in the vast plains between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains. It is our concern that all our guests feel comfortable with us.
That is why there are different accommodations for different requirements. In the upper area of the complex, there are 5 double chalets and 2 family chalets. These are pure feel-good accommodations where you also like to stay, relax, and enjoy. In the lower area, there are 9 exclusive safari tents that were lovingly built in a bush forest. Since September 2013 there has also been the new, exclusive honeymoon chalet, which is located slightly outside the complex.
Restaurant and bar
They serve drinks in a cozy bush bar. The hotel complex is only accessible to guests of the Rhino Watch Lodge and is closed to the public. So all guests are among themselves. The bush restaurant, completed in September 2012, offers maximum comfort in a warm atmosphere. Here we serve delicacies from our bush kitchen. Also new is the outside terrace directly in front of the restaurant.
In the middle of the lodge, there is a pond where weaver birds like to nest. Right next to it we built a library with a small sunset bar. Here is a TV with cable connection available to learn the latest from all over the world. On the roof, you have a great view and you can watch birds in the roofs of the trees. A bird watching veranda at the pond has also been open since December 2014.
The veranda
This is the ideal place to take tea. Next to the Sunset Bar, there is a pavilion that we use for demonstrations. They also accommodate small seminar groups here. Special interest groups can also make excellent use of this space, such as yoga or meditation.
There has been a small spa section since December 2014. This has a sauna, a relaxing jacuzzi, and a massage room. Here we offer various relaxing massages, a real relaxation after an exhausting safari day. We are constantly striving to further align the lodge to the needs of our guests and thus to create the highest standard for your well-being.

The white Rhino Hotel
“A heritage of warm hospitality”
In 1910, three Europeans – Berkely Cole, Lord Cranworth and Sandy Herd – founded the White Rhino Hotel in what was then, British East Africa. According to various historical accounts, they name the establishment after a rhino. It was shot at the site during one of the numerous game-hunts conducted by the white settlers. The White Rhino Hotel was well-known across the region as the first segregated exclusive pub. This was to keep off attacks on whites and local Africans by guard dogs. These would pounce on them if spotted in the vicinity. In 1965 after independence, the hotel was sold off to an Asian businessman. It has only 27 rooms – most of which were not self-contained – at the time.
The hotel offered mainly single rooms and lodging facilities and a bar and restaurant for guests. The bar section was then converted into a seminar hall and the hotel began to allow in the first African patrons. Five years after in 1970, the hotel was sold again. It was at this point that the “whites-only” sign, which had been put at the entrance, was removed, ushering in a new era for the hotel. The White Rhino Hotel was gazetted as a National Heritage site on 9th March, 2001.
