A wonderful lodge set amongst the foothills of Mount Kenya, sitting in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy . With beautiful scenic views and lovely weather . The air so fresh and clean in spite of it being a game park . As for the lodge , hosting perfect service ( all with a smile ) and perfect lodging . Their tents are all luxurious. All en-suite , with running hot water ( much needed after a game dry ) although this park is anything but dry . The service is impeccable from all quarters. The Manager Elizabeth must be commended for helping out and catering to our needs. Throughout our stay . And a game drive in the lodges car is a must with their experienced driver Juma , who knows the wild terrain like it was his home . We saw the Big Four ! Needless to say the lions were the icing on the cake . It’s always so much easier to book directly with Serena . They make sure we are taken care of. I would like to thank my Loyalty Manager Mr. Michael . Maina , for all his efforts in ensuring a happy and enjoyable stay . Thank you Mr. Michael . I hope to come back again , hopefully. Thank you Abeda

This beautiful gem, just a three-hour drive away, is tucked inside the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The lodge sits on stunning grounds, right in front of a watering hole, the perfect spot to unwind and watch wildlife in their natural element. Our tented room was spacious, well-equipped, and offered all the amenities one could wish for. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of a hot water bottle provided each night to keep the cold at bay. It was also a treat to watch giraffes and elephants right from the comfort of our room’s balcony, a truly magical experience. The service was excellent throughout, and the food did not disappoint. As it was my daughter’s birthday month, the restaurant staff went above and beyond to surprise her with a birthday song and cake. She’s always wanted to have that experience, and I’m deeply grateful to the team for making it happen. We also went on a game drive organized by the hotel. The driver was punctual, knowledgeable, and made every effort to ensure we saw as many animals as possible. Watching herds of elephants and rhinos up close was incredible, and spotting a lioness with her playful cubs was truly the highlight of our trip. The only tiny disappointment was missing the elusive cheetahs. On our last night, we were thrilled to see a herd of buffalo and a lone elephant visit the watering hole — the perfect ending to our stay. The only drawback was that our room was located towards the far end of the camp, a little removed from the watering hole and the restaurant. It was also wonderful to visit the chimpanzee sanctuary and learn more about these fascinating animals and their stories. The work being done to protect and care for them is truly inspiring. Waking up to the sight of the majestic Mount Kenya in the distance was another highlight, a breathtaking sight. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, and we’ll definitely be returning!

We stayed at this camp for only one night on our 12 day safari. It is a large camp but the "cottages" are quite private. The meals are all buffet style. The walk to our cottage was beautiful. We stayed in 7 different lodges and our room at Sweetwaters was the fanciest. It had everything you could ever want in it. It was large and had a nice deck that looked out over the plain. The water hole is not visible from most of the cottages but is visible from the dining area. It was raining when we were there and we did not see any animals using the water hole. When we return on a future safari, we would extend our stay at this lodge.

Sweetwaters was our second stop on our safari and it did not disappoint. Our tent was beautifully furnished with plenty of space and the views were stunning. The WiFi covered the tent, which was a bonus and enabled us to share the view with our family at home. The bar area was lovely, we sat outside initially and watched the animals and birds visiting the watering hole before moving inside to ensure the warmth of the fire. The food offering was vast compared to other places we stayed. In the evening there was a pasta station, I was hoping to eat more local food but the lure of pasta was too much; I think it was the best pasta I've ever had! The evening visitors outside the tent were an absolute delight to watch. Thank you to all of the team at Sweetwaters!
