Sweetwaters Serena Camp

This place was had the most amazing at lodge viewing of lots of wildlife at the waterhole right in front of the camp. So, you could walk around the water to see elephants, giraffes and rhinos and buffalo wallowing in the mud! That was great fun. The view from the dining room was awesome...right onto the waterhole. But, we prefer non-buffet meals. And the restaurant was large so not intimate...we enjoyed the other places we stayed more because meals felt more intimate. Going into Ol Pejeta on game drives was wonderful...we got lots of photos!

"Definitely worth a visit! This hotel is located within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where you can see plenty of wildlife, including rhinos, zebras, buffalo, and waterbuck, right outside your room. Plus, the chance to experience a night game drive is an unforgettable opportunity!"

My wife and I travelled all the way from Australia to pay our respects at the rhino cemetry. We chose to use a third party instead of direct. BIG MISTAKE, this tour company which I will not name gave us a disinterested barely speaking English $%#@, who had no interest in our experience as a client, after less that 24 hrs my wife was very upset. So we phoned the owner of the company who to his credit sorted things out. Within 1 hr we had the manager Dan at our accommodation giving us apologies even though it had nothing to do with him. He gave us an itinerary for the next 24 hrs and OMG what a difference. He gave us Denge who has over 20 years experience on game drives and we got to pay our respects at the cemetry with a backdrop of water buffaloes. We then had another 2 game drives with Denge and his wealth of knowledge is incredible a passionate individual who cares about the heritage and future of wildlife. All of the staff at ol pegeta were 100% I could not fault anyone, wait staff, gardeners room service - all at the top of their game. This brings me to the discussion I had with Dan when leaving and how grateful I was that he stepped in and in 3 words he summed up the situation "WE ARE PROFESSIONAL" You most certainly are. Finally DO NOT GO THROUGH A THIRD PARTY RING THEM DIRECT - YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

Had a lovely stay at this lodge. Accommodation is a spacious luxury tent on the edges of the park. We woke to see elephants and zebra wondering past. Food was great - really good experience (top tip leave the shower running on hot for a couple of minutes before use)

The location is outstanding, the food is plentiful and of excellent quality - and the most outstanding feature is the efficiency and friendliness of the staff - from the manager downwards everyone makes you feel so welcome, and they go out of their way to make your stay a special one. Ol Pejeta is a world class wildlife location, and accommodation in the conservancy is very expensive - with the exception of Sweetwaters, which offers excellent value for money.

Wow, fantastic place. The 'tent' was a comfortable room, beautifully situated on the grounds. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom fine. The grounds were fantastic. This location was a highlight of my trip, I loved it. Walking out to the water hole where animals wander to, with Mt Kenya in the background, spectactular. The staff was fantastic, so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious.
