Aberdare Royal Cottages

You stay at Aberdare Royal Cottages, a collection of cottages near Nanyuki in Kenya’s Laikipia County. The cottages are set against the backdrop of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Ranges. Each cottage is equipped with modern amenities, and the property includes a swimming pool and a spa.

The location is convenient for visiting nearby wildlife conservancies, including Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which is a fifteen-minute drive away. Ol Pejeta is home to the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and the last two northern white rhinos. The conservancy also hosts the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see chimpanzees.

Other nearby attractions include Solio Ranch, known for its rhino and lion populations, and Ngare Ndare Forest, an elephant corridor with waterfalls and swimming pools. The cottages are a kilometer from Nanyuki Airstrip, making them accessible for travelers arriving by air.

The property serves both local and international cuisine in its restaurant, and there is a bar for drinks. The cottages are surrounded by greenery, providing a quiet retreat from the bustle of daily life.
