Acacia Camp Swara Plains Accommodation
Swara Plains Acacia Camp has rustic but comfortable accommodation. There are 13 cozy little bandas each having their own en-suite bathroom. The main mess area is open with views of the garden.

 

Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy

Swara Plains Conservancy; Swara Plains Conservancy is just 30 minutes out of the city of Nairobi. Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy is situated on the Kapati Plains, 35 km southwest of the capital, Nairobi, just off the main Nairobi-to-Mombasa highway. The Small World Country Club on the southern side of the road marks the entrance way to Swara.

 

This 20,000 acres ranch is old wild Africa at its very best: wide open savannah grasslands, tall yellow fever trees, endless views, over 3000 resident population of easy to see plains game and +270 birds species. Swara Plains Conservancy is part of the Tsavo and Amboseli eco-system and with the exception of Elephants, Rhinos and Buffaloes all the other plains game found in Tsavo and Amboseli are found here.

 

You will see big herds of Oryx, Elands, Wildebeests, Giraffes, Monkeys, Hartebeests, Zebras, Impalas, Grant's and Thompson's Gazelles, Warthogs and the occasional Gerenuk in total absence of mass tourism.

 

Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy also a good number of Cheetahs and Leopards but unlike the cats in other National Parks which are now socialized to act for visitors (a Cheetah sitting on a car's bonnet is not natural!), the cats here will grant you a sight but soon sneak into the bush - their natural reaction.

 

Environment conservation is top priority here e.g. numerous dams have been dug to trap the scarce rainwater and there are well-maintained earth roads for game drives and nature walks. Not surprisingly the ranch and the camp have long been used for wildlife management research.

 

The number of visitors to Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy is deliberately kept small by having Acacia Camp with only 13 rustic and still comfortable bandas (cottages) making this a place to see game without being surrounded by safari vehicles. Good food is a big part of a travel experience, and as the owner/manager of Acacia has a long history of managing some of the well known tented camps in Kenya, in Acacia Camp you can expect top kitchen with a touch of home cooking.

 

For birders, walkers as well as anyone looking for a nature based tour in Kenya, we invite you to Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy for all the right reasons: one-off wildlife viewing experience, guided nature walks, colorful and easily found Kenyan birds.

 

Birds that can be seen outside the bandas as you relax include: Hoopoe, Hunter's and Scarlet-chested Sunbirds, Fisher's Lovebirds, Black-faced Waxbills, Superb and Rüppell's Long-tailed and Hildebrandt's Starlings, Von der Decken's Hornbills, Slate-coloured Boubou, White-bellied Canary, Red-cheeked Cordon-Bleu, Crested Francolin among others.

 

African Spice Safaris recommends a minimum of 2 nights in Swara Acacia Camp and then proceed to Tsavo and/ or Amboseli to add the other big game that you didn't see at Swara.

 

 

 

Walking Safaris in Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy
