Sweetwater continued, then on to ARC

When we returned from Safari, the fireplace in our cabana was lit for us.

Me getting ready to eat again.
As I indicated earlier, I like all the animals.

This little guy was on the porch of our cabana.

Most of our safari rides were in vans with tops that popped up.

Here's a shot of Sue standing in the van.

The living room of our cabana at Sweetwaters.

Our next stop will be the ARC. The access to the ARC is from a resort Abadaire, which is an old golf club. They quite using it as a golf course many years ago changing it to a wildlife sancuary.

The Clubhouse and resort cabims are still used.
As is the bar, We had a couple waiting for the bus to the ARC.
From both Sweetwaters and the ARC we had views of Mt. Kenya.

Mt. Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa at 17, 000 ft.

The Arc is a hotel designed to imitate Noah's Arc, only the people go on two by two, and you view the animals from the ARC. It has four Viewing levels that look out over a watering hole. The park rangers spread a salt mixture the animals use to enhance their diets, which brings a number of animals by the watering hole on a regular basis.

These are a different hog that frequented the watering hole. Note the Birds.
Shortly after we got there, a whole family of elephants trouped up out of the ravine.
There were also three old male buffalo who were there constantly
To give you an idea of how close we were to the animals,

this is the full picture of an elephants side.
